How does natural selection lead to evolution

a species can gradually change into new species

What is a nonnative species

A species that does not normally live in an area

If all frogs died the raccoon population would most likely

increase

What is the fitness of an organism

The ability to survive and reproduce

How do peppered moths after the Industrial Revolution show the process of natural selection

The peppered moth had white bodies and wings, peppered with black. This coloration blended well into the original British countryside, hiding them from their predator the birds. Factories of the early industrial revolution covered everything with soot. Now the white stood out against the black surroundings making them easy targets for birds. Over time the white moths were wiped out. But, a few of them were darker in color, these survived and multiplied such that the white peppered moth was replaced buy the dark ones.

Black moths were selected for when the trees turned black.

the moths with the high fitness were selected for

The black moths were more fit for survival, so their phenotype frequency increased.

When will natural selection occur

Natural selection occurs when four conditions are met:

1. There is variation among individuals.

2. That variation is at least partially heritable.

3. That variation is linked to differential reproductive success.

4. More individuals are born than can survive and reproduce.

What is a reproductive strategy

The method an organism uses to produce offspring

the way that a species creates offspring

What is an adaptive zone
