It gives the user control over how many molecules are in use at once and also provides an introduction to help the user familiarise themselves with the controls.

The natural selection simulation lets students control the factors of natural selection for a rabbit such as; mutations such as fur colour, ear shape and length of teeth and also adding a mate. They can also choose whether the mutation is dominant or recessive. Students also control environmental factors such as the seasons being winter or summer, natural predators such as wolves and tough or limited food. The simulation also shows the population growth of all the mutations via a line graph. ]]> 2022-05-31 05:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ryanmaclean/elpadlet/wish/2205514752
