AGENDA:
- Objectives: Explain the concept of natural selection and how this process, along with chance events, drives evolution of biological systems
- Warm-up: What are some examples of changes that could happen to a population of organisms where the changes seem to have nothing to do with the organisms’ level of fitness? [5]
- Genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, gene flow, non-random mating [10 - 15]
- Driftworm activity [25 - 30]
- Evolution Quiz #2 [20]
- Finish “Who Wants to Live a Million Years” activity/questions (DUE Friday)
