The Student Exploration: Evolution: Mutation and Selection answer key refers to the set of correct responses for the Gizmos interactive simulation that helps students explore how mutations and natural selection drive evolution. In this activity, learners observe a population of organisms and how genetic mutations affect their traits, influencing survival and reproduction in changing environments. The answer key typically includes explanations for how advantageous mutations become more common over generations, how environmental pressures shape populations, and how genetic variation is essential for evolution. It's meant to guide learning, not just provide answers.
