Video Learning Notes
Natural selection is the process by which individuals with advantageous heritable traits survive and reproduce more successfully, causing those traits to become more common in the population over generations. This leads to adaptation, where populations become better suited to their environments. The process depends on genetic variation, reproduction, competition for limited resources, and differential survival. Scientific explanations about natural selection must be based on evidence from data, models, and observations, and can be refined as new evidence emerges.
Learning Goals
- Explain how natural selection leads to adaptation in populations using scientific evidence.
- Identify and describe the four factors that contribute to evolution and natural selection.
- Analyze data or models to support explanations of evolutionary change in populations.
- Construct and revise scientific explanations based on evidence about natural selection and adaptation.
