For this assignment, go to the lab titled "Darwinian Snails." You are asked to download and print the workbook. It is important to have the workbook available so you know and understand what you are doing. I recommend printing it as two pages per sheet of paper to save paper and copy costs.

Of the following exercises available in the lab, you are only required to do and submit answers to the questions of those marked with an asterisk; the others are optional.

Prelude - contains background information

Exercise 1 - A model of Evolution by Natural Selection

* Exercise 2 - The Requirements for Evolution by Natural Selection

Exercise 3 - Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection

* Exercise 4 - The Source of Variation Among Individuals

* Exercise 5 -  What makes populations Evolve

Exercise 6 - CHALLENGE  (available for extra credit +5pts)

Enjoy!
