terms:
a) Evolution
b) Community

d) Genes
2) Describe what you see in video on “Maple
Copters”

reason. Organisms that have an
advantage will survive. Other organisms
will go extinct.
In nature there are 2 keys to survival:
gaining energy and reproducing.

adulthood and reproduce?
4) What does the word “evolution” mean?
Things in nature look the way they do for a
reason. Organisms that have an
advantage will survive. Other organisms
will go extinct.
In nature there are 2 keys to survival:
gaining energy and reproducing.
Warm Up 30 (5 questions)
1) Explain how this diagram illustrates
evolution?
2) A reintroduced population of wolves in a
national park is 90% grey and 10% black,
consistent with the wolf population in other
regions. After several generations in
isolation, the national park’s wolf population
is 60% grey and 40% black. The wolf
population has likely experienced
A. natural selection.
B. genetic drift.
C. mutations.
D. migration.
3) How is the fish on the bottom an
example of evolution by mutation?
4) Explain resistance.
