The correct sequence from the most to the least comprehensive, of the taxonomic levels listed here is
Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring, and thus contribute more to the next generation's gene pool
adaptation
their ancestors adapted to live in similar enironments
feed on a variety of different plants
gathering food
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species
artificial selection (selective breeding)
more recently they shared a common ancestor
When ants feed too heavily on acacia plants, the plants produce a toxin. Natural selection would favor ants that —

The more closely related two different organisms are, the

Any variation that can help an organism survive in its environment is called a(n):

The dog breeds we have today were developed through:

According to natural selection theory,
Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring, and thus contribute more to the next generation's gene pool

The finches on the Galapagos island were similar in form except for variations of their beaks. Darwin observed that these variations were useful for:
