Document Summary

1. explain how understanding biology can help you make informed decisions as a citizen. So as to be able to understand the processes that will no only affect your personal life (health choices), but also public life (ie standing on jury with dna evidence apart of trial) 2. use the four principal features of life to distinguish living from non-living things. New species then arise and populations adapt to new environments: diversity: all living things evolve into unique forms. Mutation (new alleles) creates genetic variance // flatworms just break into pieces: sexual=egg and sperm fuse, have parents dna and unique combo of alleles. 1. create a scenario describing how a population of organisms might adapt to a new environment: after a drastic flood bunny rabbits are relocated to an isolated island, they adapt to the new vegetation and their surroundings. If not its good evidence hypothesis is wrong.
