Natural selection
Who is the father of evolution?
Charles Darwin
Through various mechanisms, species adapt, diversify, and change over time, resulting in the incredible array of organisms we see today.
Evolution
Artificial selection is guided by ... ?
Humans
The 5 kingdoms
Animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, protists

is a natural part of evolution, where a species ceases to exist.
Extinction
Economic Advantages of Artificial Selection Technology

Complete the sentece: Organisms that are best adapted to an environment ______ and _______ more than others
Survive / Reproduce
occurs when one species evolves to resemble another species, often for protection. This can involve visual, auditory, or chemical similarities.
Mimicry
Economic Disadvantages of Artificial Selection Technology
Monocultures / Increased Long-Term Costs / Technology Dependence
is a tool used to identify organisms by answering a series of yes/no questions that lead to their classification.
Dichotomous key

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection occurs in four steps:
Overproduction • Variation • Competition • Selection
Mention some types of adaptation.
Camouflage / Specialized feeding / Environmental tolerance
Environmental Advantages of Artificial Selection Technology
Reduced Pesticide Use / Increased Nutrient Efficiency / Improved Water Use Efficiency
is a system for naming organisms using two names (Two-part name)
Binomial nomenclature

Why is Variation Important?
The more variation within a species, the more likely it will survive / The more variation of types of species in an habitat, the more likely at least some will survive
describes the principle that individuals with traits that make them better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to their offspring.
Survival of the fittest
Environmental Disadvantages of Artificial Selection Technology
Loss of Biodiversity / Invasive Species / Genetic Contamination
Mention 3 animal orders:
Primates, Carnivora, Rodentia, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera
