UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
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 higher-level groups over time.
Microevolution - CORRECT ANSWER - is a process that occurs within a single
population as inherited traits 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.
adaptive traits - CORRECT ANSWER - traits that give an organism a reproductive
advantage i a particular environment.
sexual selection - CORRECT ANSWER - is a subtype of natural selection, some types
reproduce more than others because they have traits that allow them to:
