Natural Selection
Across
- 2. an inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of surviving and reproducing in a particular environment
- 7. structure body parts of organisms that are similar in structure and position but differ in function
- 9. a slight difference in an inherited trait among individual members of a species
Down
- 1. selection the process by which organisms with variations that help them survive in their environment live longer, compete better, and reproduce more than those that do not have the variations
- 3. an adaptation that enables a species to blend in with its environment
- 4. structure body part that has lost its original function through evolution
- 5. structure body parts that perform a similar function but differ in structure
- 6. breeding the selection and breeding of organisms for desired traits
- 8. an adaptation in which one species looks like another species
