ACTIVITY SHEET 5
Process of Evolution

What I Can Do
Activity 6: Exit Ticket

PART-A
1. What does the theory of natural selection mean to you? Explain in 2 to 3 sentences only.

Natural Selection is a process wherein a single organism adapt better to a certain environment.
They tend to reproduce and live better to that place better to some area they were once lived. Its
compatibility makes the offsprings and the organisms itself live more healthy that it supplies all the
needs and requirements of that certain person.

2. Provide one example of natural selection. The example could be real or fictitious as long as it
shows natural selection.

In a habitat there are red bugs and green bugs. The birds prefer the taste of the red bugs, so soon
there are many green bugs and few red bugs. The green bugs reproduce and make more green
bugs and eventually there are no more red bugs.

3. Why it is important to understand this concept of natural selection for the benefit of
understanding other ideas in science/biology?

Understanding the concept of natural selection is vital because this is how the biodiversity moves.
We should know how do other organisms live and survive for each day in a certain area or biome
they live.
