| natural selection and it evolutionary consequences provide a scientific explanation for | the fossil record of ancient life forms |
| many scientists suggest that billions of years ago life on earth began with | simple, single celled organisms |
| the theory of evolution states that | species change over time, sometimes developing into new species. |
| some honeybees have been able to survive the changes in their environment and reproduce, this is most likely because | genetic diversity in the bees |
| which statement provides evidence that evolution is still occuring at the present time? | new varieties of plant species appear more frequently in regions undergoing climatic change |
