NATURAL SELECTION

"SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"

Definition:
Natural selection is the process through which a species changes into an organism that will survive better in the environment.

HOW IT HAPPENS

  • Two groups of a species are isolated
  • When a species overproduced in order for more offspring to survive it leads to variation, a difference with no benefit
  • Some variation may be helpful in the living environment which is called adaptation
  • The organisms that adapt are more suitable to live while the others die
  • When the organisms come back together they might be different species

TURTLES OVERPRODUCE BECAUSE NOT MANY BABY TURLES WILL SURVIVE

EVOLUTION

AS A THEORY

EVOLUTION IS A SCIENTIFIC THEORY

  • Has lots of supporting evidence
  • May be able to change if new evidence is found
