Inherit gene from
parents, variation
caused by genetic factor
is inherited
Environmental
Differences in the
environment: climate,
food, lifestyle
Accents, piercings
Both (genetic
and
environmental)
Height: diet and
nutrition contribute
as well as
inheritance
Flagellum: grow in
certain environments, if
metal ions are present
Adaptions
Increases the organisms chances of
survival and reproduction and also the
chances of its offspring reproducing
successfully.
Adaptation develop because of natural selection
Best adapted individuals
are more likely to survive
and reproduce, passing
adaptations to their
offspring.
Behavioural
Ways an
organism acts
that increase
its chance of
survival.
Physiological
Processes inside an
organism's body that increase
its chance of survival
Anatomical
Structural features of an
organism's body that increases its
chance of survival
Theory of evolution
Darwins theory
Individuals within
a population show
variation in their
phenotypes.
Predation, disease
and competition
create a struggle for
survival
Individuals with
better adaption
survive longer
Number of individuals
with the advantageous
adaption increases
Over
generation it
leads to
evolution
Speciation
When populations of the
same species evolve to
become so different that
they can't breed to
produce fertile offspring
Evidence to
support evolution
Fossil record evidence
DNA evidence and
common ancestors
Molecular
evidence such
as proteins
Resistance to
antibiotics and
pesticides
By natural selection. There is a
variation in a population of
bacteria/pests. Genetic mutation
make some bacteria/pests
resistant to an antibiotic/pesticide.
Some will survive and pass
genes on generations
Infections caused
by antibiotic
resistant bacteria
are harder to treat.
Crop infestations with
pesticide resistant
pest are harder to
control.
Disease carrying
pest become
pesticide resistant,
disease will be
harder to control
