1.3.9. Analyze the scientific evidence used to develop the theory of biological evolution and the concepts of natural selection, speciation, adaptation, and biological diversity. 

Describe the factors that drive natural selection (i.e., overproduction of offspring, genetic variability of offspring, finite supply of resources, competition for resources, and differential survival).

Explain how natural selection and adaptation lead to organisms well suited for survival in particular environments.

Examine or characterize the degree of evolutionary relationship between organisms based on biochemical, genetic, anatomical, or fossil record similarities and differences.  [Classification]
