- **Biology** - Define evolution. - Describe how evolution affects biodiversity. - Define the term "natural selection," provide examples, and relate to the theory of evolution. - Discuss the importance of variation in the process of evolution through natural selection. - Describe mutations as changes in DNA or chromosomes. - Outline the factors that contribute to causing mutations. - Investigate changes caused by natural selection in a particular population because of a specified selection pressure. - Relate genetic characteristics to survival and reproductive rates. - Compare selective breeding to the concept of natural selection. - Identify the advantages and disadvantages of selective breeding using examples. - Define the term "speciation" and explain the effect of geographical and reproductive isolation.
