Biol-1001A-504 Walden Week 5 The theory of natural selection

. Assignment Purpose

  • You will explore natural selection by completing a virtual lab modeled after John Endlers guppy experiment.
  • The goal is to understand how environmental pressures influence advantageous traits in populations over time.

2. Background Concepts

  • Darwins observations of Galpagos finches showed that beak variations were linked to environmental food sources.
  • This illustrates the core idea of natural selection: organisms with traits that improve survival are more likely to reproduce.

3. Your Task

  • Open the Natural Selection Virtual Lab.
  • Download the Natural Selection Lab Report template.
  • Complete the lab and fill in the report sections:
    • Hypothesis
    • Results
    • Analysis
    • Conclusion
  • You may finish the analysis and conclusion after exiting the virtual lab.

4. What to Review Before Starting

  • Chapter 11: Evolution and Its Processes, focusing on:
    • What natural selection asserts
    • Evidence supporting natural selection
    • How natural selection relates to evolution

5. Submission Instructions

  • Save your file as: WK5Assgn_LastName_Firstinitial
  • Submit via the Start Assignment button.
  • You may check your draft using Turnitin Drafts before submitting.

Requirements: I just need what I did already put into the Natural Selection Lab Report
