List 3 examples of phenotype

2. I can describe non-living influences on changes in the environment.

3. Genetics
What is genetics?

4. Phenotype— Who can tell me …………….
Genotype– Who can tell me……….

5. Environmental Non-living influences
limit whether a species can survive in a habitat

6. Examples: Pollution Fire Height of a mountain Volcanic eruption
Periodic flooding of rivers

7. What changes happen as you travel up the mountain? Visualize….
Brain Storm: Take 2 min. with you neighbor
Think about what changes as you travel up the mountain. Plant & Animal differences…

8. Above certain elevations (trees don’t grow at all)
The environment gradually changes as you go up the mountain.
Temperature decreases
Wind usually increases
At high elevation, trees can be short and stubby
Above certain elevations (trees don’t grow at all)

9. Animals are found also vary at different elevation

10. Nepal
Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio- diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from sub-tropical to arctic.
This wild variation fosters an incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountain range on earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers, forested hills and frozen valleys.
Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes anywhere. The country is a potpourri of ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 93 languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on earth. And you can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the year in traditional style highlighting enduring customs and beliefs

13. Species and the Environment
Natural Selection
Mutation
Selective breeding
Direction of evolution
Extinction of a species

14. Natural Selection
According to Darwin and Wallace changes happen from generation to generation that result in adaptations to the environment.
Evolution—the change in genetics of a species over time.

15. Natural selection—the proposed organisms that are better adapted to an environment survive and reproduce at a greater rate than others.
Fittest survive

16. Mutation– is the process in which DNA results in new alleles.
Some of these produce–
Mutations for improved adaptations and reproduction.

17. Homework
List some nonliving factors in the environment that can cause change in species over several generations.
Compare selective breeding and natural breeding.
How are evolution and extinction related?
What are some (3) changes made by humans in the area where you live that might affect some of the species in Harlan.
