In this podcast episode, we will focus on two arctic species (the Polar Bear and Harp seals) and how they can navigate harsh environmental conditions impended on by humans. Hint, hint, global warming. We will also be analyzing studies and sources of evolutionary evidence that relate to natural selection- the survival of the fittest. Furthermore, we will look at possible solutions for humans to intervene with genetic engineering (CRISPR) and selective breeding. Ultimately, we seek to answer: Will they adapt or die, can humans save them? Section 1: The Arctic Seal race against time- What is the polar bear? The Ice Is melting!!! Section 2: How does Global Warming affect marine animals in the Arctic? Endangered animals? Melting sea ice Section 3: WHAT IS GENETIC ENGINEERING OR SELECTIVE BREEDING? Section 4: Task 2: Evidence of Change over Time- EVOLUTION- COMMON ANCESTORS OF THESE SPECIES Section 5:  Task 3: Natural Selection- Phet Bunny Lab Section 6: Are you down with DNA and Task 5 Human Intervention - How to take action!!!
