Thomas Robert Malthus

Question 18

Answer 18

Charles Darwin

Question 19

Answer 19

Charles Darwin

Question 20

A genetically trait-based characteristic that makes an organism better suited to its environment.

Answer 20

Adaptation

Question 21

Survival of the fittest (adaptable); elimination of the less fit or unfavored.

Answer 21

Natural Selection

Question 22

Natural Selection examples:

Lack of resources increases competition; therefore, there exists a constant struggle for existence.

All living organisms vary; variations in genotype are passed on from generation to generation.

Only the fittest and well-adapted can survive.
