Evolution : a change in the genetic makeup of a population over time, with natural selection its major driving force. Darwin's theory states that due to competition for limited resources, individuals with more favorable phenotypes are more likely to survive and reproduce
Labs:
1 .Natural Selection - How do variations of phenotypes promote the survival and reproduction of offspring?
2. Simulating Hardy Weinberg - In what ways does the Hardy Weinberg model test whether a population is evolving?
3. Artificial Selection - How is selective breeding used to encourage the occurrence of desirable traits in plants?
