1 Natural Selection What are the four major statements that describe natural selection Discuss with table group 2 min– Think about what it takes for “survival of the fittest”

2 Natural Selection What are the four statements to describe natural selection? 1 –species that have variation, adapt more to their surroundings, increase survival 2- more offspring than can survive 3 – those beneficial adaptation have been passed down to offspring, lead to changes in species 4 – There is an incredible amount of variation within a species 4
