Adaptations - correct answer ✔are traits that an organism has that allow it to be better suited for its
environment.
Evolution - correct answer ✔is a change in inherited (genetic) features that occurs in populations and

become more or less common from one generation to the next.
Macroevolution - correct answer ✔involves bigger changes that occur more slowly and cannot be
directly observed in most cases.
microevolution - correct answer ✔occurs when the type or frequency of the alleles and genoytpes in a
population change over one to many generations time.
selection - correct answer ✔occurs whenever some genetic types in a population reproduce more
than others in a given environment.
natural selection - correct answer ✔is a process by which nature impacts the evolution of a
population.
