What you need to know EVOLUTION UNIT REVIEW

What do we know to this point? With your Research Project Groups, grab a “game board” and a die. Roll to a question, answer correctly and stay. Don’t answer correctly, move back one space. Play until there is a winner! EVOLUTION BOARD GAME

All of Chapter 15 – 15.1 Fossils – 15.2 Theories of Evolution – 15.3 Process of Evolution Section 16.2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?

FLASHCARDS FLASHCARDS FLASHCARDS Provide EXAMPLES for each of the structures, processes and agents of evolutionary change which we have looked at. Look at notes from Lesson Slides – The notes highlight important components of the lessons… Look at the Review sheets – Provide you with the types of questions I might ask SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO PREPARE?

Chapter Fossils – Know the four different fossil types we discussed Mold, Cast, Amber, Trace – Know how the law of superposition can be used to provide evidence of evolution of a species. Recall- Fossils found in lower strata (layers) are OLDER than fossils found in upper strata. WHAT TO KNOW

Chapter Theorists – Jean Baptiste Lamarck First to propose species evolved from other species Proposed Acquired Traits were the reason for change in species over time – Charles Darwin Proposed that the environment selects for favourable traits in a population Two main theories (Be able to explain) – Natural Selection (NON-survival of the NON-FIT/ Survival of the fittest) – Descent with Modification (modification of organisms over time due to environmental influence) WHAT TO KNOW

15.3 Evidence of Evolution – Evidence (be able to describe, and give examples of) Homologous Structures Analogous Structures Vestigial Structures Similarities in Macromolecules Similarities in Embryology (Vertebrates) WHAT TO KNOW

15.3 Process of Evolution – Provide examples, and know which structures are associated with: Co-Evolution Convergent Evolution Divergent Evolution – Adaptive Radiation – Artificial Selection WHAT TO KNOW

Chapter Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium – The Hardy-Weinberg Genetic Equilibrium***** (16.1) Know the 5 assumptions that the HWE makes for an ideal, non-evolving population WHAT TO KNOW

16.2- Agents of Evolutionary change – Mutations Insertions, Deletions, Substitutions – Genetic Drift – Migration (Gene Flow) – Non-Random Mating Assortive mating – Selection Stabilizing, Directional, Disruptive Recognize/ Be able to produce the shapes of the graphs! WHAT TO KNOW

With your Evolution Research Teams, start at one poster dispersed around the room You have one minute to write down as much info as you can on the topic – One Rule, every student in group MUST write at least one thing before the time runs out POSTER PARADISE
