Unit 6: Adaptation Over Time
Enduring Understanding:
Over time, populations of organisms adapt to their changing environment through natural selection.
Essential Questions:
- How does genetic variation among organisms in a species affect survival and reproduction?
- How does the environment influence genetic traits in populations over multiple generations?
- What is the evidence that organisms have evolved throughout the Earth's history?
