Natural selection
leads to speciation
Natural selection is
governed by

The
accumulation
of traits
causes
speciation
Genes are
composed of
DNA
Genes and
Alleles
Only certain
traits are
passed on in
our genes
Heritability is
the result of
genes being
copied during
reproduction
Sexual & Asexual

non-heritable
characteristics
Speciation
Environment

speciation
Characteristics are
modified by the
environment
Reproductive capability is
determined by adaptation to the
