Key Idea - MST4.I.LE.3: Individual organisms and species change over time.
Key Idea - MST4.I.LE.3: Individual organisms and species change over time.
Introduction - MST4.I.LE.3.Introduction: Evolution is the change in a species over time. Millions of diverse species are alive today. Generally this diversity of species developed through gradual processes of change occurring over many generations. Species acquire many of their unique characteristics through biological adaptation, which involves the selection of naturally occurring variations in populations (natural selection). Biological adaptations are differences in structures, behaviors, or physiology that enhance survival and reproductive success in a particular environment.

Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.3.1a: The processes of sexual reproduction and mutation have given rise to a variety of traits within a species.
Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.3.1a: The processes of sexual reproduction and mutation have given rise to a variety of traits within a species.
Major Understandings - MST4.I.LE.3.1b: Changes in environmental conditions can affect the survival of individual organisms with a particular trait. Small differences between parents and offspring can accumulate in successive generations so that descendants are very different from their ancestors. Individual organisms with certain traits are more likely to survive and have offspring than individuals without those traits.
