The Bigger Question!

Directions: Answer the question below on a separate sheet of paper and turn it into the appropriate period homework turn in slot.

Questions:

Pick an organism of your choosing (except for the Peppered Moth) and create an environment for it. Then I want you to discuss how natural selection, of your own choosing, acts on that organism. Speculate what would happen to your organism if a natural disaster occurred (either an earthquake, a flood, or a fire) . Would the tides of natural selection change? Explain your answer.
