. 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
