the phenotype rather than the

• How does natural selection
determine the different survival of
different organisms?

• . . . All the Help I Can Get
• Natural selection operates on traits in
different
ways.

demands of an organism’s environment.
2. Under Trait, write in several of the animal’s traits.
3. Under Advantage, write in how you think the trait would be helpful to
the animal.

Section 16-1
Interest Grabber
• Yes, No, or Maybe
• Some traits, such as a widow’s peak, fall
into neat categories: You either have a
widow’s peak or you don’t. Other traits,
such as height, aren’t so easy to
categorize.
Interest Grabber continued
Section 16-1
• 1. Make a list of physical traits that you
think are influenced by genes.
Then, write next to each trait whether
you have the trait or not
(e.g., a widow’s peak) or whether there
are many variations of the
trait (e.g., hair color).
• 2. Are most of the traits you listed
clear-cut or are they mostly traits
