Discuss phenotype and genotype changes. Examine how the environment can produce phenotype changes, which will increase ability to survive.
Examine mutations, their causes and effects on the survival. Examine recombination of genes which can produce new traits.
Examine how the variety of an ecosystem is a measure of the biodiversity. Discuss how the variety is a function of genetic diversity, habitat diversity and specie diversity. Show how environmentalists attempt to determine how many different species are found in a particular ecosystem. Define and discuss what determine a specie.
