Learning Objectives

4.6.3.4 Evidence for evolution

Content	Key opportunities for skills development
$Students should be able to describe the evidence for evolution including fossils and antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The theory of evolution by natural selection is now widely accepted. Evidence for Darwin’s theory is now available as it has been shown that characteristics are passed on to offspring in genes. There is further evidence in the fossil record and the knowledge of how resistance to antibiotics evolves in bacteria.$	$WS 1.3 Data is now available to support the theory of evolution.$
