Who's Who?

This worksheet looks at speciation, dimorphic and polymorphic species and Batesian mimicry. In Batesian mimicry a palatable species mimics an unpalatable one, thus protecting itself from predation.
Through a series of questions based on the text, the resource explores this in detail and looks at the following areas:

• the principles of evolution by natural selection

• the importance of Bates’, Wallace’s and Darwin’s contributions to science

• the influence of genetic and environmental factors on variation

• the effect of linkage on variation
