While viewing this video, answer the following: 1. List two adaptations you saw the fish use to allow it to survive in different conditions? 2. What do you think caused them to occur?
In 1859 Charles Darwin stated that an environment has a strong influence over the survival of offspring. ( violent neighborhoods or habitat thicker fur on bears) This is due to certain traits that allow some individuals to have a grater chance at survival and reproduction that others.
It is a genetic change in characteristics of a population from one generation to the next There are certain aspects of Evolution.. What are they? Coevolution, Evolution by Artificial & Natural Selection, Evolution of Resistance, Adaptation
Natural Selection-over many generations, natural selection causes an organism’s characteristics of a population to change. This enables that organism to survive and reproduce more successfully.. Leading to evolution Example: chameleon catching a fly with its tongue.
Adaptation- an inherited trait that increases the organisms chance to survive and reproduce in a certain environment Example: deer developing thicker fur to survive the cold habitat
Two species evolve with one another in response to a long term interaction with each other Example: Birds and honey flowers
When individuals select a specific trait of an organism Example: Vegetation.. Can select a certain trait to allow the vegetables to grow bigger and have a better produce appearance
Ability of one main organism to tolerate a particular chemical designed to kill it. How is this possible? Those (pests) who are sprayed with a pesticide that do not die, reproduce offspring that will have the resistant strand to the chemical. Examples: Pesticides are used by the agricultural community, roaches and Raid, humans and immunization shots
So why should I care about this stuff? How does it affect me? Why Does Evolution Matter Now?
Research and explain one way Evolution is important to the human species….
