Investigate and describe how environmental changes allow some plants and animals to survive and reproduce, but others may die. NatureWorks Episodes16. Life at RiskInvestigate and describe how individuals of the same kind differ in their characteristics and sometimes the differences give an advantage in surviving and reproducing.
