In a population of wild bees, a mutation resulted in slightly larger wingspan in some of the bees. This larger wingspan made the bees more efficient in their flights to flowers to collect nectar. Thus, these bees became more successful at surviving and reproducing. This trait was passed on to offspring, and eventually the larger wingspan variety of bee replaced their smaller-winged relatives completely. Because this mutation produced a specific wing trait that was passed onto offspring, the mutation must have occurred .

Listed in the item bank are some key terms and expressions associated with the categories seen in the venn diagram. to find out more information about items, some have more details available when you click on them. drag and drop each item onto the proper area of the diagram. if an item describes more than one category, be sure to place it in the overlapping space. viruses are tiny infectious pathogens that cause many different diseases, such as polio, and the flu. though they are similar to one celled organisms in some ways, in many ways they are very different. use the venn diagram below to show the similarities and differences between viruses and living organisms.
