A change in ocean current causes the
climate on an island to become drier.
As a result, the grasses that cover the
island change from dark green to
light brown. Over time, a species of
green toads that hide in the grasses
and are subject to predation respond
to these changes this is and example
of….
Their coloration will
change to brown.
What is natural
selection?
A river caused one population of
giraffes to become separated into two
populations. Members of these two
populations were later brought
together but were not able to breed.
What is this an example of?

What is … It decreases?
When penicillin was first
developed it was hailed as a
miracle drug. People said that
bacterial diseases would be
completely wiped out. However,
over time many of these species of
bacteria are no longer killed with
penicillin. One likely cause of this
phenomenon is…
What is Rapid bacterial
mutations due to
environmental pressures?
When an effective insecticide is
used on a population of insects,
most of the insects are killed.
However, a few may survive due to
genes that make them resistant to
the insecticide. The the BEST
explanation of why this occurs…
What is Insects that survived
sprayings passed their
resistant genes to their
offspring?
The process by which
individuals that are better
adapted to their
environment survive and
reproduce more
successfully than others
do.
What is natural
selection?
Over time, animals may
change behavior or
physical appearance in
response to changes in the
environment. This is
called…
What is Adaptation?
A storm blew several butterfly-eating
birds to a distant island. The island,
which previously had no birds, was
filled with butterflies of all colors. One
year later, all of the butterflies were
dark green and brown. What is a likely
explanation for the change in the
butterfly population?
What is The surviving
butterflies had a trait
that protected them
from the birds?
