Biological evolution- What human impact is the number one threat on biodiversity?o Loss of habitat- What are prokaryotes?o Bacteria and Archaea- Who established the definition of species as we know it today- that members one species do not interbreed with members of another species?o Ray- “The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; its offspring inherited longer necks as a result.” Correct this statement:o Characteristics acquired during an organisms life are generally not passed on through genes- Natural Selection:1. Subsequent generations of a population should have greater proportions of individuals that possess favorable traits2. Often only a fraction of offspring survive, because there is a struggle for limited resources3. Individuals whose inherited characteristics best fit them to the environment should leave more offspring4. Unequal reproductive success among its members leads a population to adapt over
