Evolutionary Biology Terms: Natural Selection, Adaptation, and Developmental Plasticity, Quizzes of Ecology and Environment

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech)Ecology and Environment

Definitions for key terms related to natural selection, adaptation, and developmental plasticity in evolutionary biology. Students will learn about the concepts of variation in heritable characteristics, differences in survival and reproduction, heritable traits that maintain or increase fitness, natural selection, individual response through phenotypic plasticity, and reversible, gradual changes in environmental conditions leading to phenotypic changes.
