through natural selection that makes a population well suited to living and reproducing in its environment
evolution the inherited changes that
occur in a population over time
natural selection the process through which
individuals in a population with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than individuals with less favorable traits in a specific environment
population a group of individuals of the
same species that live and reproduce in the same place genetic variation Is a term used to describe the variation in the DNA sequence in each of our genomes
adapt to evolve a trait, through
natural selection, that makes a population well suited to surviving and reproducing in its environment
probability the chance that a specific
outcome will occur out of the total number of outcomes
Proportion the fraction of the whole
Coevolution the evolution of two species
in response to each other, resulting in reciprocal or “matching” adaptations protein a type of molecule that makes up much of an organism’s structure and helps it function
genea a segment of DNA that
contains the instructions for building a product, usually a protein
DNA a type of molecule that
carries the inherited information passed from parents to offspring
chromosome a cell structure that contains
an organism’s DNA
allele a specific version or form of a
gene mutation a random change to an organism’s DNA
Iterative testing repeated testing of an object,
tool, or process with changes or improvements between the rounds of testing
