Evolution
Across
- 5. The selection of traits that aren’t necessarily good for survival fitness, but without them, you can’t pass on your genes at all because you can’t reproduce
- 8. some organisms will survive and reproduce better than others, causing changes in the population over time by acting on traits that are heritable
- 10. movement of genes into/out of a population
- 11. an organism's ability to pass its genetic material to its offspring
- 12. Evolution on a large scale affecting changes in species across populations
Down
- 1. the combined alleles of all individuals in a population
- 2. when there are NO changes in the allele frequencies in a population
- 3. differences in the physical traits of organisms
- 4. a feature that allows an organism to better survive in its environment.
- 6. random change in the frequency of alleles of a population over time
- 7. Evolution can occur on a small scale affecting a single population
- 9. The process of biological change that makes descendants differ from their ancestors
