Adaptation | A process by which a population becomes better suited to its environment by increasing the frequencies of alleles that provide benefits to survival and reproduction. |

Generation | Organisms of the same species that are at the same level of descent from a common ancestor; a parent is a member of one generation, and its offspring are members of the next generation. |
Natural Selection | A process by which organisms with favorable traits produce more successful offspring than organisms with less favorable traits. causing the favorable traits to become more common in the population. |
Migration | Movement to a different geographical region where conditions are more favorable. |
Hibernation | A slowed physiological state of an organism to survive long periods of cold temperature or reduced food supplies. |
Selective Breeding | A form of artificial selection whereby deliberate breeding results in desired traits in plants and animals. |
