Multiple Choice
Which of the following best describes the relationship between natural selection and adaptation?
There is no relationship between natural selection and adaptation.
Adaptations and natural selection are both mechanisms by which beneficial genes are passed from a parent to an offspring.
Adaptation is the transfer of allele in a population which allows an organisms to be better suited to its environment. Natural selection is the process by which an adaption is passed to offspring.
An adaptation is a beneficial trait that allows an organism to be better suited for survival in its environment. Natural selection is the process by which beneficial traits are passed on to offspring in subsequent populations.

Multiple Choice
Bacteria can develop a mutation that allows them to survive antibiotics and live long enough to reproduce. The mutation in the genetic material of the bacteria spreads to subsequent generations and the bacteria with the gene will survive and increase in number.

Natural Selection
Founder Effect
Genetic Drift
Gene Flow
