Evolution and Ecology

Natural selection acts on heritable variation and can change populations across generations. Ecological interactions influence survival and reproduction.

What to remember

  • Variation exists in populations.
  • Some variation is heritable.
  • Selection affects reproductive success.
  • Populations evolve, individuals do not.
  • Ecosystem pressures can influence selection.

Key words

natural selection — differential survival/reproduction
evolution — population genetic change across generations
variation — differences among individuals
selection pressure — environmental factor affecting reproductive success
adaptation — heritable feature increasing fitness in context
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.

What this Year 10 / Grade 10 science drill practises
