Selection
Übersicht
Why do bacteria stop responding to antibiotics? Why do farm animals and crops look so different from their wild ancestors? The answer to both is selection: in nature the environment does the choosing, while in farming humans do. The same basic mechanism, some individuals leaving more offspring than others, drives both.
In this lesson you will describe natural selection step by step, describe and apply selective breeding to crops and livestock, and (for Extended) define adaptation, explain antibiotic resistance as natural selection in action, and contrast natural with artificial selection.
Ziele
- Describe natural selection with reference to: (a) genetic variation within populations (b) production of many offspring (c) s truggle for survival, including competition for resources (d) a greater chance of reproduction by individuals that are better adapted to the environment than others (e) these individuals pass on their alleles to the next generation
- Describe selective breeding with reference to: (a) selection by humans of individuals with desirable features (b) crossing these individuals to produce the next generation (c) selection of offspring showing the desirable features
- Outline how selective breeding by artificial selection is carried out over many generations to improve crop plants and domesticated animals and apply this to given contexts
- [Supplement] Describe adaptation as the process, resulting from natural selection, by which populations become more suited to their environment over many generations
- [Supplement] Describe the development of strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria as an example of natural selection
- [Supplement] Outline the differences between natural and artificial selection
