A Correlation ofMiller & Levine Biology, ©2014to the Next Generation Science Standards, May 2013Grades 9-12HS-LS4-5. Evaluate the evidence supporting claims that changes in environmental conditions may result in: (1) increases inthe number of individuals of some species, (2) the emergence of new species over time, and (3) the extinction of otherspecies. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on determining cause and effect relationships for how changes to the environment such as deforestation, fishing, application offertilizers, drought, flood, and the rate of change of the environment affect distribution or disappearance of traits in species.]MILLER & LEVINE BIOLOGY: In Lesson 17.3 (pp. 494–497), students learn how different types of isolation can lead to the formation ofnew species. Lesson 19.2 (pp. 546–548) discusses the processes that influence whether species survive or become extinct.Students evaluate the evidence for claims that environmental conditions may result in speciation or extinction: Students exploreevidence that climate change is causing a genetic decline in alpine chipmunks (pp. 447a–447b). Students provide evidence for the claim thatmajor geologic changes often go hand in hand with mass extinctions (Q18, p. 566). Students use evidence to suggest an explanation for thePermian mass extinction (Chapter Mystery, Q2, p. 567).HS-LS4-6. Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.*[Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on designing solutions for a proposed problem related to threatened or endangered species, or to genetic variation of organisms for multiplespecies.]MILLER & LEVINE BIOLOGY: Lesson 6.3 (pp. 166–172) discusses the value of biodiversity, threats to biodiversity, and ways to conservebiodiversity. The Unit 2 Project, Disappearing Mussels!

If newevidence is discovered that the theory does notaccommodate, the theory is generally modified in light ofthis new evidence.

(HS-LS4-2)SE/TE: Observations Aboard the Beagle (pp.451–453); Variation and Adaptation (pp.460–461); Survival of the Fittest (p. 461);Common Descent (p. 464); Sources ofGenetic Variation (pp. 484–485)•Natural selection leads to adaptation, that is, to apopulation dominated by organisms that are anatomically,behaviorally, and physiologically well suited to survive andreproduce in a specific environment. That is, thedifferential survival and reproduction of organisms in apopulation that have an advantageous heritable trait leadsto an increase in the proportion of individuals in futuregenerations that have the trait and to a decrease in theproportion of individuals that do not. (HS-LS4-3),(HS-LS4-4)SE/TE: Evolution by Natural Selection (pp.460–463)•Adaptation also means that the distribution of traits ina population can change when conditions change. (HS-LS4-3)SE/TE: Evolution Versus Genetic Equilibrium(pp. 491–492); Isolating Mechanisms (pp.494–495)•Changes in the physical environment, whethernaturally occurring or human induced, have thuscontributed to the expansion of some species, theemergence of new distinct species as populations divergeunder different conditions, and the decline–andsometimes the extinction–of some species. (HS-LS4-5),(HS-LS4-6)SE/TE: Genetic Drift (p. 490); Speciation inDarwin’s Finches (pp. 496–497)•Species become extinct because they can no longersurvive and reproduce in their altered environment. Ifmembers cannot adjust to change that is too fast ordrastic, the opportunity for the species’ evolution is lost.(HS-LS4-5)SE/TE: Speciation and Extinction (pp. 546–548)SE = Student Edition; TE = Teacher’s Edition; LMA = Lab Manual A 17
