3. Natural selection and its evolutionary consequences provide a scientific explanation for the fossil record of ancient life forms, and the striking molecular similarities among diverse species of living organisms. 4. The combination effect of natural selection acting for millions of years on new characteristics within diverse and changing environments has produced a succession of new species. CLE 3210.5.1 Associate structural, functional, and behavioral adaptations with the ability of organisms to Create graphic organizers to demonstrate the relationship between form and function in representative organisms. Compare and contrast the structural, functional, and behavioral adaptations of animals or plants found in different environments.
