Name: _____________________________________ Date: __________ Class: ______ Review B.7CDE: Natural Selection B.7C: Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals. Supporting Standard B.7D: Analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproductive success. Supporting Standard B.7E: Analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species. ✪ Readiness Standard 1. The principles of Natural Selection state that overpopulation results in competition and struggle for existence; populations have variation; and populations have an unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce. Only the best fit individuals survive and get to pass on their traits to their offspring. 2. Differential reproductive success occurs as the frequency of alleles changes due to the variation within a population as some variants will leave more offspring than others; also as more individuals are produced than the environment can support. 3. Natural selection takes many generations, and changes do not happen to individuals; they happen to populations. 4. Species are defined as a population that produces viable, fertile offspring (interbreed in nature). When interbreeding can no longer naturally occur, speciation occurs. Speciation can be allopatric or sympatric. Organisms over time (many generations) accumulate mutations for better survival and adaptations over time can result in the formation of new species.

Why does natural selection not affect individual organisms? 2. How do the elements of natural selection result in differential reproductive success? 3. How does natural selection and adaptation relate to diversity of species? Analysis Complete the following in the space provided. 1) Describe how natural selection produces a change in a population? 2) The finches on the Galapagos Island originated from a common ancestor. Describe some of the changes that occurred in the original species. 3) Detail the relationship between natural selection and diversity within a species.
