Across
- 4. A species becomes extinct when all the individuals of a particular species dies off
- 5. A cause of extinction; humans introduce a new species to an environment. If there is no consumer to keep that new species in check, it can out compete the native species and take over
- 6. Inherited traits that increase the chance of survival and reproduction of an organism
- 8. A type of adaptation; when one species (the mimic) looks like another species (the model) in order to deceive a predator
- 9. A cause of extinction; caused by humans or natural disasters
- 10. A type of adaptation; patterns of action (instincts) that help organisms survive and reproduce
Down
- 1. A cause of extinction; sometimes climate change happens so suddenly that a species does not have any members with genetic traits that allows survival let alone adaption
- 2. A cause of extinction; the fewer number of individuals left in a species, the less genetic variations. So fewer individuals lead to related creatures
- 3. A type of adaptation; physical traits of the body that help organisms survive and reproduce
- 7. A type of adaptation; coloring that blends in with the environment- makes organisms hard to see
