44. The BIG idea:
Variations of traits in organisms enhance their survival because some individuals will be better adapted to survive
conditions in certain environments.
22. What did I learn previously?
Heredity is the passage of traits from parent to
offspring and genetic material is passed through
the stored DNA that makes up genes in chromosomes.
Organisms that reproduce sexually have variations in
their traits because of the genetic information that is
exchanged between two parents.
