I feel confident about explaining natural selection because I understand the process of how certain traits become predominant in a population over time.
The topic in this unit I found most challenging was using mathematical representations to support explanations of increases and decreases in traits in a population.
In order to remember definitions of key words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards with the definitions on one side and the key word on the other.
One topic in this unit I would like to learn more about is how technologies influence inheritance of traits because it seems like an interesting and important concept to understand in the context of genetics.
Today you will review all topics that you’ve learned in this unit.
