3. A. Potential to produce more offspring than can possibly survive B. Populations remain stable C. Not all offspring survive to adulthood

4.  Insects  Fish  Amphibians  Puppies

5. A. Overproduction leads to competition for limited resources B. Best adapted most likely to survive and reproduce

8. A. New traits from natural variations B. Trait helps organism survive and reproduce = adaptive value

9.  Fur lengths  Colors of moths  Antibiotic resistance or non-resistance

11. A. Adaptive value = competitive advantage B. The proportion of individuals with favorable traits increases (they are the better competitors) C. Adapting to change brings about evolution

12.  Giraffes’ long necks  Drought tolerant cacti  Omnivores eat a variety of foods
