Biology: Evolution

The difference between individuals from the same species

Variation that comes from your genes which are sections of your dna

Variation that is influenced by the environment (e.g. how much food you have, sunlight exposure, lifestyle choice etc.)

Changes that occur after a long period of time which give them an advantage in their environments

Structural adaptations are physical features which allow them to compete.

Physiological adaptations are processes which allow them to compete. Things that the organism does without its conscience necessarily telling it to so it does it naturally

Behavioural adaptations are behaviours which give them an advantage. They’re usually born with the ability or the drive to do these things

Different species fight for survival

Members of the same species fight for survival (tends to be more intense)

When variation means animals outcompete eachother meaning the are better suited to their environment and most likely to survive and reproduce

Variation, Outcompete, Survival, Reproduction

The preserved remains or imprint in a rock of a plant or animal. These organisms would have lived thousands of years ago or more as fossils take a long time to form.
