Members of the same species are varied because of slightly different versions of the same genes
Variation
1 of 6
Spontaneous random changed to the genetic material of an organism
Mutation
2 of 6
An inherited characteristic that makes an organism well suited to surviving in its environment/niche
Adaptation
3 of 6
survival of the fittest occurs when there are selection pressures. The best adapted individuals in a population survive to reproduce, passing on the favourable alleles that confer the selective advantage.
Natural Selection
4 of 6
When two or more species are formed from one original species
Speciation
5 of 6
The separation of members of a species due to a geological; ecological or behavioural barrier
Isolation
