A general term, means "change over time".

A sequence of DNA that codes for a particular trait.

biological evolution that occurs by chance.

The process by which traits that improve an organism's chances for survival and reproduction are passed on more frequently to future generations than those that do not.

describes how re productively successful an organism is in its environment.

A heritable trait that increases an individual's fitness.

process of selection conducted under human direction.

The process by which new species are generated.

the disappearance of a species from Earth.

describes its use of resources and its functional role in a community.

the ability to survive and reproduce under changing environmental condition.

Resource partitioning

the species partition or divide the resource they use in common by specializing in different ways.

the process by which an individual of one species a predator, hunts, captures, kills and consumes an individual of species ,the prey.

The process by which two species evolve in response to changes in each other.

a relationship in which one organism, the parasite, depends on another, the host, for nourishment or some other benefit.

a long-lasting and physically close relationship in which at least one organism benefits.

The interaction in which an animal feeds on a plant.

A relationship in which two or more species benefit.

a relationship in which one species benefits and other is unaffected.

capture energy from the sun or from chemicals and store it in the bonds of making Sugars.

the process by which primary producers use sunlight to carbon dioxide and water into sugars.

primary producers such a as bacteria use energy stored in the bonds of hydrogen sulfide to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars.

organisms that rely on other organisms for energy and nutrients.

the process by which organism use oxygen to release the chemical energy of sugars such as glucose release carbon dioxide and water into sugar
