| Unit GLEs Strand 4: Changes in Ecosystems and Interactions of Organisms with their Environments |
| 1. Organisms are interdependent with one another and with their environment. |
| A. All populations living together within a community interact with one another and with their environment in order to survive and maintain a balanced ecosystem. |
| B. Living organisms have the capacity to produce populations of infinite size, but environments and resources are finite. |
| C. Not assessed at this level |
| D. The diversity of species within an ecosystem is affected by changes in the environment, which can be caused by other organisms or outside processes. |
| 3. Genetic variation sorted by the natural selection process explains evidence of biological evolution. |
| A. Evidence for the nature and rates of evolution can be found in anatomical and molecular characteristics of organisms and in the fossil record. |
| B. Not assessed at this level. |
| C. Natural selection is the process of sorting individuals based on their ability to survive and reproduce within their ecosystem. |
