Class Reflection

This class we discussed natural selection and how evolution influences biodiversity. If animals are not able to adapt to a changing environment they will most likely become extinct. This is why there are so many varieties of certain animals. They had to adapt to the conditions they lived in so that they could survive. Biological evolution, which is the genetic change in populations of different organisms over a period of time is the reason for all the millions of species throughout the world. Natural selection is what enhances the survival of generations, it helps animals adapt to their habitat. Darwin and Wallace proposed the theory of natural selection and believed that because organisms face a constant struggle to survive only the fittest will survive.
It was interesting to learn how slight changes in an animals appearance can be the only thing that keeps the animal alive and intern gives hope to generations to come. I believe that this method works with pretty much everything, even out way of life today. It is important to have certain attributes in order to succeed in life.
