1a natural process resulting in the evolution of organisms best adapted to the environment118 sets
2the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations70 sets
3survival of the fittest48 sets
4process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; also called survival of the fittest42 sets
5the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species32 sets
6the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations.24 sets
7the mechanism for evolutionary change in which environmental pressures cause certain genetic combinations in a population to become more abundant; genetic combinations best adapted fix present environmental conditions tend to become predominant23 sets
8process by which individuals with inherited characteristics well-suited to the environment leave more offspring than do other individuals20 sets
9the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than other members of the same species.19 sets
10the mechanism for evolutionary change in which environmental pressures cause certain genetic combinations in a population to become more abundant; genetic combinations best adapted for present environmental conditions tend to become predominant18 sets
11the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those contributing to reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations18 sets
12the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do; a theory to explain the mechanism of evolution13 sets
13the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those contributing to reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations.10 sets
14the process by which organisms with favorable variations reproduce at higher rates than those without such variations10 sets
15individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully; survival of the fittest9 sets
16the mechanism for evolutionary change in which environmental pressures cause certain genetic combinations in a population to become more abundant; genetic combinations best adapted for present environmental conditions tend to become predominant.9 sets
17genetic change or changes in the frequencies of certain traits in populations due to differential reproductive success between individuals9 sets
18process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully, also called survival of the fittest8 sets
19the principle that among the range of inherited trait variations, those that lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations8 sets
20the process by which favorable traits that are heritable propagate throughout a reproductive population: individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with unfavorable traits.8 sets
21differential success in the reproduction of different phenotypes resulting from the interaction of organisms with their environment. evolution occurs when natural selection causes changes in relative frequencies of alleles in the gene pool.7 sets
22the process by which forms of life having traits that better enable them to adapt to specific environmental pressures, as predators, changes in climate, or competition for food or mates, will tend to survive and reproduce in greater numbers than others of their kind, thus ensuring the perpetuation of those favorable traits in succeeding generations.6 sets
23reproductive success is unequal, and those individuals best meeting demands of the environment have the greatest reproductive success6 sets
24the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than less well adapted individuals do6 sets
25a process in nature in which organisms possessing certain genotypic characteristics that make them better adjusted to an environment tend to survive, reproduce, increase in number or frequency, and therefore, are able to transmit and perpetuate their essential genotypic qualities to succeeding generations.6 sets
26the mechanism proposed by darwin in his theory of evolution, which states that organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive, transmitting their genetic characteristics to succeeding generations, whereas organisms with less adaptive characteristics tend to vanish from the earth5 sets
27the theory that only the organisms with the most suited genotype in their preferred living area will be able to survive when abiotic stress is applied on the species5 sets
28organisms that possess favorable adaptations pass them onto the next generation5 sets
29process by which individuals that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully5 sets
30a process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristics5 sets
31the principle that, among the range of inherited trait variations, those that lead to increased reproduction and survival will most likely be passed on to succeeding generations. (myers psychology 8e p. 108)5 sets
32process where individuals best suited to the environment survive and reproduce5 sets
33process by which organisms that are suited to a particular environment are better able to survive and reproduce than organisms that are not5 sets
34process by which individuals with inherited characteristics well-suited to the environment leave more offspring than do other individuals.5 sets
35the process in which organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce5 sets
36cause of evolution in which those organisms that are best suited survive and reproduct5 sets
37the principle that those characteristics and behaviors that help organisms adapt, be fit, and survive will be passed on to successive generations, because flexible, fit individuals have a greater chance of reproduction4 sets
38a process in which organisms with certain inherited characteristics are more likely to survive and reproduce than are organisms with other characteristics.4 sets
39principle that organisms that possess adaptations survive and reproduce at a higher rate than other organisms4 sets
40the mechanism for decent with modification4 sets
