About This Quiz

Adaptation is a part of evolution that helps an organism survive its environmental conditions better. Why not take the quiz to learn more about the adaptations over time? The questions in the test are carefully curated to test your knowledge and, hopefully, make you learn new things about the concept. Please make sure to read all the questions very carefully before attempting. We hope that you like the quiz! Feel free to share! Good Luck!

    • A population that has the most amount of genetic diversity

    • A population that has a large number

    • All of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Who proposed the theory of the evolution of species? 

    • Gregor Mendel

    • Charles Darwin

    • Dmitri Mendeleev

  • 4. 

    Which of the following is the best determinant if the two plant species share a recent common ancestor?

    • Their flowering times

    • Their morphological features

  • 7. 

     The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment will survive is known as what? 

    • Genetic variation 

    • Overpopulation

    • Natural selection

    • None of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Having more offspring than that could survive is known as what? 

    • Overpopulation 

    • Genetic mutation 

    • Punctuated equilibrium

    • None of the above

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    How does natural selection eventually lead to evolution in the species?

    • Natural selection make stronger members of species kill off the weak members, leading to higher evolution

    • Natural selection helps make environmental condition better thus encouraging evolution in the species

    • It leads to population explosion leading to more evolution 

    • Helpful genetic variations accumulate due to natural selection in the surviving members of the species leading to a better evolution of the species

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    When was the theory of evolution proposed? 

    • 1836

    • 1840

    • 1854
