Mission Assignment: Survival of the fittest game.

This engaging explanation explores how genetic variation, driven by mutations, influences natural selection by allowing certain species to adapt and survive in changing environments. Using the example of the peppered moth, it illustrates how traits that enhance camouflage or other survival advantages are inherited by future generations. The interactive game activity encourages learners to simulate environmental changes and observe which traits are favoured, reinforcing understanding of natural selection in a fun and practical way.
