


Students know how natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of

Students know a great diversity of species increases the chance that at least some organisms
survive major changes in the environment.
Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic
speciation, and mass extinction

Students know variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of
a species will survive under changed environmental conditions.
