- Natural selection.
- Genetic bottleneck.
- Why all organisms in a population survive equally.
- The competition that drives natural selection.
- How organisms can acquire new traits.
- The absence of variation in a population.
- Directly caused by the environment.
- Acquired during an organism's lifetime.
- Random and heritable.
- Always beneficial for survival.
- Random mutations would lead to stronger beaks.
- The beaks would gradually strengthen and become more robust through use, and this trait would be inherited.
- Only birds with naturally stronger beaks would survive.
- The environment would directly cause the beak to strengthen.
- Traits are randomly inherited from parents.
- Traits developed during an organism's lifetime can be passed to offspring.
- Only traits present at birth are heritable.
- Environmental factors have no influence on heredity.
- Sexual reproduction.

- They demonstrate complex cellular respiration.
- They show how simple organic molecules can self-assemble into membrane-bound structures.
- They are capable of true genetic replication.
- They prove the existence of extraterrestrial life.
- The change in an individual organism over its lifetime in response to the environment.
- The process by which species change over generations due to changes in their heritable traits.

- The spontaneous generation of new life forms from non-living matter.
- A medium for organic molecule dissolution.
- The necessary energy for chemical reactions.
- A protective layer against UV radiation.
- A source of carbon atoms.
- Individual plants will shiver and adapt to the cold, passing this adaptation to their offspring.
- All plants will eventually develop frost resistance.
- Plants with pre-existing genetic variations for cold tolerance will survive and reproduce more, increasing cold-tolerant offspring.
- The colder temperature will cause plants to mutate into cold-resistant forms.
- Traits are inherited.
- Organisms change over time.
- Somatic changes can alter germline genetic information.
- The environment plays a role in adaptation.
