NGSS.HS-LS4-1

Species produce more offspring than an environment can support because most of the offspring will not make it to adulthood.

• Overproduction of Offspring

• Non-Random Mating (Sexual Selection)

• Divergent Evolution

• Descent with Modification

NGSS.HS-LS4-2

migration of genes as the genetic material from one population blends with the genetic material of another population through interbreeding.

• Biochemistry

• Adaptation

• Phylogenetics

• Gene Flow

Similar structure (parts/shapes) and similar origin (common ancestor) of body parts from different species

• Analogous Structures
