  17. Overproduction • Within a population, there are more offspring produced in each generation than can possibly survive. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  18. Competition • Natural resources; like food, water, and space available to a population is limited. • Because there are many organisms with similar nutritional requirements, there must be competition between them for the resources needed to survive. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  19. Survival of the Fittest • Variations among members of a population make some of them better adapted to the environment than others. • It is generally the best-adapted individuals that will survive. • The environment is the agent of natural selection determining which species will survive SACCONE POWERPOINT

  20. Natural Selection The environment determines which traits are beneficial to the survival of an organism in a particular habitat. Selected traits “good” tend to be retained and passed on. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  21. Natural Selection • Natural selection involves the struggle of organisms to survive and reproduce in a given environment. 2. Traits which are beneficial to the survival of an organism in a particular environment tend to be retained and passed on, and therefore, increase in frequency within a population. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  22. Natural Selection 3. Traits which have low survival value to an organism tend to diminish in frequency from generation to generation. Ex: ALBINISM • If environmental conditions change, traits that have low survival value may now have a greater survival value. • Therefore, traits that prove to be favorable under new environmental conditions will increase in frequency. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  23. Ex: Insects resistant to insecticides • Genetic make-up of some insects make them resistant to the effects of insecticides. • Before the widespread use of insecticides, this trait was of no particular survival value. • With the increased use of insecticides, this trait developed a very high survival value. • Therefore, insects with resistance to insecticides survived and reproduced much more successfully than those lacking the trait. • As a result, the frequency of insecticide resistance has increased greatly in insect populations. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  24. Ex: Rats resistant to rodenticidesNot Immune! SACCONE POWERPOINT

  25. Reproduction • Individuals that survive and then reproduce transmit these variations to their offspring. SACCONE POWERPOINT

  26. Speciation • The development of a new species occurs as variations or adaptations accumulate in a population over many generations. • Ex: common ancestor  Chimpanzees & Humans SACCONE POWERPOINT
