Vocabulary
Adaptation
Fitness
an inherited trait that
increases an
organisms chance of
survival and
reproduction
the ability of an
organism to survive
and reproduce in its
environment
Variation
Differences among
individuals
When there is variation, some individuals
will have better fitness (good genes)
Natural Selection
• Natural Selection: Organisms best
suited to their environment as a
result of good genes survive and
reproduce.
• Natural Selection = reproduction
(and survival) of the fittest
Natural Selection
• Natural Selection is WHY Darwin’s
finches matched their environment
In an environment with BIG SEEDS…
Big beak = adaptation
Survives longer
Reproduces more
EVOLUTION

SELECTION
on more genes
Big beaks become more common
This process is an example of NATURAL SELECTION!
In an environment with SMALL SEEDS…
Small beak = adaptation
Survives longer
Reproduces more

Small beaks become more common

Adaptations
Adaptation
An inherited trait that increases
an organism’s chance of survival
and reproduction
Organisms adapt to their
environment
Outline
Adaptations in animals
Mimicry
Camouflage
Adaptations in plants
Coevolution
Mimicry
•Mimicry: an adaptation that allows one
species to look like a more dangerous
species
•Predators are less likely to attack a
mimic
Mimicry
Coral Snake vs Scarlet King Snake
Camouflage
•Camouflage: an adaptation that allows a
species to blend in with its surroundings so
predators cannot see it
•Predators are less likely to find a
camouflaged animal
Camouflage
Camouflage

Plant Adaptations
Plant Structure
Leaves adapt to a plants environment
Example 1: plants that live on the rainforest floor (so
get little light) have broad, flat leaves to capture as
much light as possible
Plant Adaptations
Plant Structure
Leaves adapt to a plants environment
Example 2: cactus that live in the desert (so get little
water) have spines for leaves to keep from losing
water
Plant Adaptations
Plant Feeding
Carnivorous plants have adaptations that let
them eat animals
Example: pitcher plants
Coevolution
•Coevolution: species
that rely on each other
adapt to each other
Coevolution
• Example: the cardinal flower and the
hummingbird
• The tube in the cardinal flower is the
same length as the beak of they
hummingbird. They are adapted to
each other!
