- 6. an animal that hunts, kills, and eats other animals to survive.
- 7. the change in the genetic composition of a population over successive generations. Essentially, it's the process by which new species or popula
- 9. continuing to live or exist, especially after facing difficulties or dangers
- 11. the study of the evolutionary history and relationships of different species or groups of organisms
- 13. organisms with traits better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to their offspring
- 15. the understanding that populations of living organisms change over time, primarily due to natural selection
Down
- 1. the complete disappearance of a species from Earth
- 2. an organism's ability to survive and reproduce in a given environment, ultimately contributing to its ability to pass on its genes to the next generation
- 4. he process by which humans actively choose which individuals in a population will reproduce, typically based on desirable traits, leading to changes in the genetic makeup of the species over time
- 5. the gradual and ongoing changes in society's structures, behaviors, and institutions over time
- 8. an ethical theory that claims that humans are born with a certain moral compass that guides behaviors
- 10. the process by which organisms, including animals and plants, change or adjust to better suit their environment and improve their chances of survival and reproduction
- 12. the change in the characteristics of populations of living things over many generations
- 14. a permanent change in the DNA sequence of an organism, which can lead to alterations in traits.
