Natural selection is not a random occurrence is true because only the fittest can survive and reproduce.An adaptation example would be the lighter colored mice living in the lighter colored environment while the darker colored mice live in the darker colored environment. An adaptation is a way an organism changes as it responds to changes in its environment. An example could include darker colored mice being born to lighter colored mice. A mutation is a naturally occurring variation in the gene sequence.The darker colored mice were camouflaged against the darker colored rocks and less visible than the lighter colored mice to predators.Why is the statement “Adaptation is always a constant change” true? Give two examples not from the video to justify your answer. How did this statement apply to the Pocket Mouse population? Justify your answer.ĥ. Explain why the statement “Natural selection is not a random occurrence” is true. List two pieces of information about genetics that you learned or reviewed from watching the video.Ĥ. Give an example of each from the video.ģ. Explain the difference between a mutation and an adaptation. What advantage did the darker colored mice have that the lighter colored mice did not have?Ģ. Once you have completed the video, answer the questions in the space provided in a complete sentence.ġ. Play the video (the video is copyrighted and may not be edited) and listen for the following words- natural selection, genes, adaptations, and mutations among a population of Rock Pocket Mice. What does it mean to adapt or to mutate? Which is better for an organism to do - adapt or to mutate? How is natural selection related to these words? As you begin this lesson, keep those words in mind, and let's look at what happened to the Pocket Mouse population in the Valley of Fire in New Mexico (about 10.5 minutes). Part 1 Adaptations, Mutations, and Natural Selection I am learning how organisms need to adapt to changing environments.I am learning to differentiate between an adaptation and a mutation and the role each one plays in the survival of an organism.An answer key along with a rubric for grading purposes is found in the Instructor Notes. It uses a series of videos, games, and simulations for each student to complete. It is intended to be used for advanced 7th graders or as a review activity for 8th graders for the 8th grade Virginia SOL test.
