Suggest how climate change can influence the natural selection of organisms that live in the Arctic oceans.
a. individuals in a population will show a variation of adaptations to climate change
b. organisms that resist temperature changes
OR current changes of the ocean/melting ice/more acidity/changes in food chains will survive better
c. reproduce more and pass on their characteristics
d. organisms with less adaptation will disappear with time
e. example «eg polar bears have less ice to be able to catch prey/seals and are starving the ones that manage to find other food sources will survive» OWTTE
f. changes will occur within species OR
new species may appear «over time»
Marking guidance:
Accept any valid example of an Arctic ocean organism.
