Today, you will write a small review on the topic, Natural Selection, for Science class you will use the given selection.

-Read through the list of topics from this unit. Make sure that you feel confident about each of them before taking the unit test. If there are any topics that you forget or think you need to practice, go back and review those lessons now. defining and describing natural selection explaining how natural selection leads to predominance and suppression of traits in a population examining an example of genetic variations of a population over time describing how genetic variation affects probability of survival and reproduction constructing an explanation of how genetic variation affects probability of survival and reproduction using mathematical representations to support explanations of increases and decreases in traits in a population synthesizing information about technologies that influence inheritance of traits Natural Selection Reflect Write a reflection about your learning in this unit. Your reflection should be at least three sentences. Use the following sentence starters as a guide.

-Some sentence starters you can use,-
I feel confident about explaining natural selection because…
The topic in this unit I found most challenging was…
In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was…
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is… because…

Also, remember that your in 7th grade, don't make it too complicated to understand

I feel confident about explaining natural selection because I understand how genetic variations can lead to changes in a population over time. The topic in this unit I found most challenging was constructing an explanation of how genetic variation affects probability of survival and reproduction. In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards to quiz myself. One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is technologies that influence inheritance of traits because it seems interesting and relevant to our world today.

Question: answer correctly, is genetic varation involved in Natural slection?

Yes, genetic variation is involved in natural selection. Natural selection is the process by which organisms with favorable traits that are genetically determined are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those traits to future generations. Genetic variation within a population allows for the possibility of different traits that can be selected for or against in response to environmental pressures, driving the process of natural selection.

So rewrite the small paragraph and use generic variations as something you had trouble with

I feel confident about explaining natural selection because I understand how genetic variations can lead to changes in a population over time. The topic in this unit I found most challenging was genetic variation and how it affects the probability of survival and reproduction. In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards to quiz myself. One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is technologies that influence inheritance of traits because it seems interesting and relevant to our world today.
