Chapter 1: Environmental Change and Trait Distribution
Lesson 1.3: Exploring Variation and Distribution in Populations
Complete each mission in the Sim by adjusting the trait-level and variation sliders. Zoom in to the environment to observe the individual organisms. draw the histogram of each mission, then mark each mission as complete as you go.
