The feature that allows an organism to survive better in its environment |
| 26) What observations did Charles Darwin make about finches (a bird) in the Galapagos Islands? |
Different species of finches lived on different islands |
| 27) Charles Darwin found fossils that looked like ancient versions of living species. This evidence suggested that the earth was how old? |
More than 6000 years old |
| 28) Natural selection results in change over time by acting on traits that are what? |
Inheritable |
| 29) Which theory ties the fields of biology and geology together? |
Evolution |
| 30) In his study of the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin saw different species of finch on different islands. This led him to theorize that species do what? |
Can adapt to their environment |
| 31) The difference in the physical traits of an individual from those of other individuals in a group is called what? |
A variation |
