ACSBL090
Natural selection occurs when selection pressures in the environment confer a selective advantage on a specific phenotype to enhance its survival and reproduction; this results in changes in allele frequency in the gene pool of a population
ACSBL090 | Content Descriptions | Unit 3 | Biology | Science | Senior secondary curriculum
ACSBL091
In additional to environmental selection pressures, mutation, gene flow and genetic drift can contribute to changes in allele frequency in a population gene pool and results in micro-evolutionary change
