Across
  1. 1. Idea that animals in the wild compete and the organisms with the most beneficial traits survive to pass on traits to offspring
  2. 3. The process where people move around and come into contact with each other possibly causing the spread of a disease
  3. 5. pocket mice A species that lives in the desert and evolved over time to change colors to hide from predators
  4. 6. Being resistant to a infectious disease or pathogen
  5. 13. When a species has completely died off
  6. 15. Traits that help an organism survive and reproduce offspring
  7. 16. A random change in the DNA sequence of an organism.
  8. 17. A species that Darwin discovered in the Galapagos that had variations in their beaks
  9. 19. Nonliving agent that causes infections and cannot be treated with antibiotics
  10. 20. to another
  11. 21. A bacterial disease that spreads through infected food/water resulting in vomiting and diarrhea
  12. 22. moths A species that evolved over time due to air pollution
  13. 24. Single celled prokaryotic organism that causes infections and can be treated with antibiotics
  14. 26. Process of organisms blending in with their environment
  15. 27. A set of behaviors that animals use to attract a mate and reproduce
Down
  1. 2. The process by which bacteria evolve to fight against antibiotics
  2. 4. The amount of individuals in a given area
  3. 7. Differences in traits from one organisms within the same species
  4. 8. A group of organisms that resemble one another and are able to reproduce among themselves.
  5. 9. The process by which organisms that are better adapted to the environment survive to reproduce offspring
  6. 10. The next generation of an animal
  7. 11. Reproductive success of an organism
  8. 12. Process in which an organism's genetic makeup changes over time.
  9. 14. Father of natural selection
  10. 18. The spread of an infectious disease from one organism to another
  11. 23. death A disease that hit Europe and Asia during the mid 1300s that caused boils on the body, fever and vomiting of blood
  12. 25. Genetic characteristics among similar organisms in a species that is passed on from one
