Part One Natural Selection
11C-- Identify some changes in genetic traits that have occurred over generations through natural selection and selective breeding such as the Galapagos Medium Ground Finch or domestic animals. 11B--explain variation within a population or species by comparing external features, behaviors, or physiology of organisms that enhance their survival such as migration, hibernation, or storage of food in a bulb. 11A--examine organisms or their structures such as insects or leaves and use dichotomous keys for identification 12A--investigate and explain how internal structures of organisms have adaptations that allow |
PartTwoStimulus and Response
13A--investigate how organisms respond to external stimuli found in the environment such as phototropism and fight or flight 13B--describe and relate responses in organisms that may result from internal stimuli such as wilting in plants that allow them to maintain balance 7C--demonstrate and illustrate forces that affect motion in everyday life such as the emergence of seedlings, turgor pressure, and geotropism |
