|---|---|
| Charles Darwin | English naturalist, geologist, and biologist |
| migration | Migration is the movement of people, animals, or things from one place to another |
| adaptation | Adaptation is the act or process of changing to fit new conditions, environments, or challenges, or something created by making that change |
| habitat | A habitat is the natural environment where a plant, animal, or other organism lives, grows, and reproduces |
| natural selection | Natural selection is the evolutionary process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully, |
| hypothesis | A hypothesis is a proposed, tentative explanation for a phenomenon, observation, or scientific question that can be tested through experimentation or research. |
| variation | Variation is any difference, change, or deviation in form, position, condition, or amount from a norm, standard, or expected state |
| species | A species is the basic unit of biological classification and a group of individual organisms that share common traits and can interbreed to produce fertile offspring. |
| evolve | To evolve means to develop, change, or grow gradually over time, often moving from a simpler state to a more complex, advanced, or better-adapted form |
| population | A population is the total number of people, animals, or living organisms inhabiting a specific geographic area or region at a given time |
| predetor | A predator is an organism that naturally hunts, kills, and consumes other organisms (its prey) for food |
| prey | To pray is to speak or make an earnest request to a deity, god, or object of worship, or to deeply hope for something to happen |
| environment | An environment is the set of physical, chemical, biological, social, or cultural conditions and surroundings that affect the growth, health, development, and survival of a living organism or system |
| evolution | Evolution is a gradual process of change, development, or growth from one state to another over time |
| decomposers | Decomposes are organisms that break down dead plants, animal carcasses, and organic waste into simpler inorganic substances like water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and phosphorus |
| extinction | Extinction is the state or process in which a group, species, language, or physical phenomenon no longer exists anywhere on Earth |
| climate | Climate is the long-term pattern of atmospheric conditions—including temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and sunshine—typically averaged over a 30-year period |
| hibernate | hibernate means to spend the winter in a deep, sleep-like state of inactivity to survive cold weather and food shortages, |
| biomes | A biome is a large, naturally occurring community of flora (plants) and fauna (animals) that occupies a major geographic habitat |
| fitness in natural selection | In natural selection, fitness (or Darwinian fitness) is an organism's relative ability to survive, reproduce, and pass its genetic traits on to the next generation |
