to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait. Emphasize analyzing shifts in the numerical distribution of traits and using these shifts as evidence to support explanations. (LS4.B, LS4.C) BIO4.4 Engage in argument from evidence that changes in environmental conditions may cause increases in the number of individuals of some species, the emergence of new species over time, and/or the extinction of other species. Emphasize the cause and effect relationships for how changes and the rate of change to the environment affect distribution or disappearance of traits in a species. Examples of changes in environmental conditions could include deforestation, application of fertilizers, drought, or food. (LS4.C)

Hardy-Weinberg principle.

● I can understand the

mechanisms of evolution.

● I can look for evidence of how and why environmental changes have affected species. ● I understand how the rate of environmental change affects species.
