VARIATION AND EVOLUTION
The characteristics of a living organism are influenced by its genes and its interaction with the environment. Living organisms are interdependent and show adaptations to their environment. These adaptations are a result of evolution. Evolution occurs by a process of natural selection and accounts both for biodiversity and how organisms are all related to varying degrees. Learners will acquire an understanding of evolution and how it has resulted in the biodiversity seen on Earth.
