Obtain a puzzle envelope from your teacher and 5 blank jigsaw pieces
With a partner, remove 15 pieces at random from your envelope (DO
NOT LOOK AT THE REMAINING PIECES)
Attempt to arrange puzzle pieces. What is your puzzle a picture of?
Remove 2 more puzzle pieces and incorporate them into your puzzle.
Make a prediction about one of the missing puzzle pieces. Using one
of your blank pieces, draw a picture of your predicted puzzle piece, and
put it in place.
Repeat steps 4 & 5 four more times (until you have all the puzzle
pieces). Each time you take out 2 more pieces, you must ADD a new
blank piece with your predictions on what the missing piece looks like.
Make note of any matches between the new puzzle pieces and the
drawings you inserted.
Evolution
The change in characteristics of a population over time
formed?
It all begins with MUTATIONS
Changes in the sequence of nucleotides that
change the gene and ultimately how the
organism appears or functions
Increase the genetic variability in a population
beneficial
These bacteria successfully reproduce and eventually
outnumber non-resistant bacteria
Artificial Selection
For centuries humans have been using the genetic
in the population
Breeders must work with genetic diversity that already
exists
BUT new mutations with new traits may randomly arise
If trait not naturally available, may resort to genetic
engineering
Expensive
Can result in other undesirable traits (ex. Strawberries
that could grow in colder weather also were white on the
inside)
