| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Charles Darwin | Charles Darwin (1809–1882) was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist who revolutionized science by introducing the theory of evolution by natural selection. |
| Migration | Migration is the movement of people, animals, or systems from one place to another, whether temporarily, seasonally, or permanently. |
| Adaptation | Adaptation is the act or process of changing to fit new conditions, environments, or challenges, or something created by making that change, according to the Cambridge English Dictionary. |
| Habitat | habitat is the natural environment or place where a plant, animal, or other organism normally lives, grows, and reproduces. |
| Natural Selecction | Natural selection is the evolutionary process where organisms with traits better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully, passing those advantageous traits on to future generations. |
| Hypothesis | A hypothesis is a proposed, testable, and falsifiable explanation or prediction for an observation, phenomenon, or research question. |
| 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 | 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. |
| Predator | A predator is an organism that naturally hunts, kills, and consumes other organisms (its prey) for food. |
| Prey | is an animal that is hunted, caught, and killed for food by another animal (a predator). |
| Environment | An environment is the sum of all external conditions, surroundings, and influences—both living and non-living—that affect the life, growth, and behavior of an organism, person, or system. |
| Evolution | the change in the inherited traits of a population of living organisms over successive generations. |
| Decomposers | Decomposers are living organisms that break down dead plants, animals, and waste materials into simple nutrients. |
| Extincion | 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 weather conditions in a specific region, usually tracked over a period of 30 years. |
| Hibernate | hibernate means to spend the winter in a deep, sleep-like state of inactivity to survive cold weather and food shortages, or to put a computer into a low-power mode that saves your open work to the hard drive. |
| Biomes | A biome is a large, distinct geographical region defined by its specific climate, soil, vegetation, and animal life. It consists of multiple interconnected ecosystems that share similar environmental conditions. |
| Fitness | 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. |
