LAC 28:XI.9752. Heredity: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

A. Identify a similarity or difference in an external feature (e.g., shape of ears on animals or shape of leaves on plants) between young plants and animals and their parents. B. Describe the relationship between genetic variation and the success of organisms in a specific environment (e.g., individual organisms that have genetic variations and traits that are disadvantageous in a particular environment will be less likely to survive, and those traits will decrease from generation to generation due to natural selection). C. Identify ways in which technologies (e.g., artificial selection for breeding of certain plants and animals) have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in plants and animals.
