I confidently understand natural selection as the process where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and pass on those traits to the next generation. This results in the prevalence of those traits in a population over time, while less favorable traits diminish.

Although challenging, I struggled with visualizing how genetic variations can become more prevalent in a population over generations. Through studying various examples and case studies, I eventually grasped the concept.

To reinforce my understanding of key terms, I created flashcards with definitions and regularly reviewed them to improve retention for assessments.

I am interested in delving deeper into the technologies influencing trait inheritance, such as genetic engineering and gene editing, and their impact on genetic variation and future evolution. I am also intrigued by the ethical implications of these advancements

and how they may shape the future of our society and the natural world. I believe that as we continue to explore these technologies, it is crucial to consider the potential consequences and ethical dilemmas that may arise. By staying informed and engaged in conversations surrounding these topics, I hope to contribute to a greater understanding of genetic variation and evolution in our rapidly changing world. Ultimately, I am excited to continue my exploration of natural selection and genetic inheritance, and to further expand my knowledge in this fascinating field of science.
