| 1 | the behaviors and physical characteristics that allow organisms to live successfully in their environments | 9 sets | |
| 2 | modifications that make organisms suited to their way of life | 6 sets | |
| 3 | traits that improve an individual's ability to survive and reproduce | 5 sets | |
| 4 | modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment | 3 sets | |
| 5 | behaviors and physical characteristics of species that allow them to live successfully in their environment | 3 sets | |
| 6 | a variation that gives a winning edge to an organism | 2 sets | |
| 7 | changes in a way of life that allow people to survive in a particular environment | 2 sets | |
| 8 | characteristics of an animal that allow it to survive and reproduce in its environment | 2 sets | |
| 9 | (predator-prey, plant defenses, animal defenses)-how a species can adapt(change)to its environment. predator can adapt to blend into the environment and get its' prey, plants can adapt to not get eaten by animals, and animals can adapt to not become prey for another animal | 2 sets | |
| 10 | the act or process of adapting | 2 sets | |
| 11 | a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce. an example is lions have sharp teeth to adapt to them eating meat. | 2 sets | |
| 12 | a trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce | 2 sets | |
| 13 | winning edge inheritable | 2 sets | |
| 14 | the structures on living things evolving to adjust for survival in the enviroment in which they live | 2 sets | |
| 15 | features that help the survival of a species in its ecosystem | 2 sets | |
| 16 | features that evolved by means of natural selection | 2 sets | |
| 17 | structures or behaviors that allow animals to perform these basic functions in their environments | 2 sets | |
| 18 | the behaviors and physical characterists that allow organisms to live successfully in their environments | 2 sets | |
| 19 | behaviors or traits that allow species to live successfully in their eccosystem | 1 set | |
| 20 | behavior or physcial changes that allow an organism to live | 1 set | |
| 21 | a characteristics that improves an organisms ability to survive | 1 set | |
| 22 | a trait in an organism that increases its ability to survive in its enviornment | 1 set | |
| 23 | behaviors and physical characteristics that allow organisms to live successfully in their environments | 1 set | |
| 24 | fitness is a result of: | 1 set | |
| 25 | the begaviors and physical characteristics that allow organisms to live successfully in their environments | 1 set | |
| 26 | a body part or behavior that helps an animal meet its needs | 1 set | |
| 27 | structures of behaviors that allow animals to perform basic functions in their environments | 1 set | |
| 28 | features which help species survive | 1 set | |
| 29 | any heritable behavioral, morphological, or physiological trait of an organism that has evolved over a period of time by the process of natural selection such that it maintains or increases the fitness (long-term reproductive success) of an organism under a given set of environmental conditions. concept is central to science of ecology. represent the characteristics (traits) that enable an organism to survive, grow, and reproduce under the prevailing environmental conditions. by definition, they are traits that are inherited--passed from parent to offspring. | 1 set | |
| 30 | heritable characteristics of an individual that increase reproductive success | 1 set | |
| 31 | changes organism make in order to survive | 1 set | |
| 32 | characteristics of organisms that enhance their survival and reproduction in specific environments | 1 set | |
| 33 | the characteristics of species that allow them to live in their environment | 1 set | |
| 34 | an organism cant survive and reproduce in its environment without | 1 set | |
| 35 | special structures and behaviours that help an organism to succeed in its ecosystem | 1 set | |
| 36 | allowed plants to move unto the land, (non present in non-vascular plants) | 1 set | |
| 37 | structures, physiological processes, or behaviors that aid in survival and reproduction in a particular enfironment are called [ ]. | 1 set | |
