Exercise
Form 6: Environmental Pressures & Selective Agents
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the various environmental pressures that influence evolutionary processes and the role of selective agents in shaping the traits of organisms, through interactive discussions, real-world case studies, and hands-on experiments that demonstrate natural selection in action. Join us on a journey to understand how these forces drive biodiversity and adaptation in our ever-changing world!
