Conservation

2. The action or process of adapting or being adapted.
3. A group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding.
4. Any cause that reduces reproductive success in a proportion of a population.
6. A plant that needs very little water.
10. The environment has little effect on this type of variation.
13. The collective genetic information contained within a population of sexually reproducing organisms.
16. The process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.
18. the conservation of species diversity within normal and natural habitats and ecosystems ecosystems.
21. The process of protecting an endangered species of plant or animal outside its natural habitat.
22. The loss of genetic variation and the consequent narrowing of the genetic base of cultivated plants through the introduction of new improved varieties

1. When a population is separated geographically, restricting the gene flow between the subpopulations.
5. A progressive decrease in the strength of a conditioned response, often resulting in its elimination, because of withdrawal of a specific stimulus.
7. A single, homogeneous culture without diversity or dissension.
8. The variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem.
9. The natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism.
11. Variation within a population in which a graded series of intermediate phenotypes falls between the extremes.
12. organisms whose ranges overlap.
14. A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form.
15. Being an organism whose genome has been altered by the transfer of a gene or genes from another species or breed.
17. a community of living organisms (plants, animals and microbes) in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment
19. A modification in structure, form or function in an organism, deviating from other organisms of the same species or group.
20. One of two or more alternative forms of a gene that arise by mutation and are found at the same place on a chromosome.
