Module Title – Module 2: BIODIVERSITY AND II. DEVELOPMENT

EVOLUTION Learning Task 1
I.INTRODUCTION
In the previous modules, you learned about the different human
organ system necessary for the perpetuation of life and how the
hereditary materials are transferred through DNA from one
generation to another by the process of protein synthesis and cell
division.
You also learned that each organism is unique and having different
characteristics than the other no matter how similar they may seem
to appear. Some organisms may not be related to one another, but
they have similar functional features and characteristics.
In this module you will be able to explain how fossil records,
comparative anatomy, and genetic information provide evidences for
evolution through natural selection that can result in biodiversity.
