BIO 4.4 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) BIO.4.5 Evaluate design solutions that can best solve a real-world problem caused by natural selection and adaptation of populations. Defne the problem, identify criteria and constraints, analyze available data on proposed solutions, and determine an optimal solution. Examples of real-world problems could include bacterial resistance to drugs, plant resistance to herbicides, or the effect of changes in climate on food sources and pollinators.

environment affects populations. ● I understand how the

rate of environmental change affects species.

● I understand how human impact on natural selection can cause various problems. ● I can think through solutions that can be

used to mitigate effects of problems caused by natural selection.
