Q

slight differences and inherited traits among an individual members of a species are called Heritage traits

23
Q

natural selection is the process by which individuals with variations that helped them survive in the environments live longer compete better and reproduce more.

25
an adaptation is an inherited trait that helps a species survive in the environment
26
27
camouflage is an adaptation that enables a species to blend in with its environment
28
29
the resemblance of one species to another species is called mimicry
30
31
is structural adaptation involves color shape and other physical characteristics
32
33
a behavioral adaptation involves how an organism interacts with an environment
34
35
a functional adaptation involves internal body systems that affect biochemistry
36
37
Charles Darwin developed the theory of evolution in the mid 1800s after serving a naturalist on the HMS Beagle on the Galapagos Island.
38
39
James Watson and Francis Crick built a model that showed how the small and molecules of DNA bond together and form a double helix

41
which species did Peter and rosemary Grant study by the Galapagos Islands finches
42
43
which species did Charles Darwin study while at the Galapagos Islands tortoises
44
45
the selection and breeding of organisms for desired traits weepers to the process known as artificial selection
46
47
the biological and chemical message that changed the arrangement of DNA that makes up the gene refers to genetic engineering
48
49
gene therapy is the replacement Of missing or malfunctioning genes by the addition of new genes to a patient's cells
