 Theory of Evolution
o People
o How evolution happens (sources for variation)
1. What is evolution?
2. What was Lamark’s idea for how things evolved? Were his ideas correct?
3. How did Darwin start to develop his understanding of evolution? What was the title
of his book?
4. What are the two different types of isolation and how are they different?
5. What are the two main types of variation and how do they cause variation within a
population?
6. What is speciation? How does it occur?
 Natural Selection
o 4 components
o Idea of natural selection
1. What are the four components that cause natural selection to occur? List the
component and a brief description of how this causes natural selection.
2. What does “survival of the fittest” mean?
3. If Green and Yellow lizards lived in a grassland environment, which would naturally
be selected to be eaten? Why? Which would be best adapted to its environment?
Why?
 Hardy-Weinberg Principle
o 5 conditions
o Calculations
1. What five conditions are necessary to maintain genetic equilibrium?
2. Is genetic equilibrium easy to maintain? Why or why not?
3. What do each of the components of the Hardy Weinberg equation represent?
4. You had a population of 40 deer. Out of this population, 5 deer in generation one
were killed because they contained the dominant phenotype (no eyes). Fill in the
following chart based on this information.

 Artificial Selection
o Purpose
o Determining best breeds for a certain assignment
1. What is artificial selection and give an example of a situation where artificial selection might
be beneficial. (besides the bunnies)
2. Fill in the chart to the right based on the
pictures above it.
 Evidence for Evolution
o Types of Evidence and
Examples
1. What is the difference between homologous
and analogous structures?
2. What are all of the different types of evidence
to support our understanding of evolution?
3. What are fossils? How can we use them as a
source of evidence?
4. Give an example of biochemical evidence
used to support evolution.
