Concepts & Review –
A.
Biogenesis
1. Explain the early experiments to prove Biogenesis and why they were deemed inconclusive.
2. Explain Pasteur’s experiment and why it was deemed conclusive.
B.
Earth’s History
1. What is Radioactive (or Radiometric) dating?
2. What does Half-Life mean?
3. How old is the universe?
4. How old is the earth?
5. What was Oparin’s Hypothesis?
6. What gases did Oparin say were in the Earth’s early atmosphere?
7. Who proved Oparin’s Hypothesis, how, and what molecules did they make?
C.
The Idea of Evolution
1. Summarize the history of scientific ideas about evolution.
2. Explain Lamarck’s Theory of Acquired Characterics (or traits).
3. What was Darwin’s main contribution to the evolution debate?
(3 premises and natural selection)
D.
Evidence of Evolution
1. Explain how fossils present evidence of evolution.
2. Describe the Law of Superposition.
3. What is a Transitional species?
4. Explain how homology presents evidence of evolution.
5. Explain how vestigial structures present evidence of evolution.
6. Explain how DNA comparison presents evidence of evolution.
E.
Mechanisms of Evolution
1. Explain how Biogeography presents a mechanism for evolution to occur.
2. Explain how adaptation presents a mechanism for evolution to occur.
F.
Evolution in Action
1. Contrast Convergent and Divergent Evolution.
2. How do Darwin’s finches illustrate Adaptive Radiation?
3. Compare and contrast artificial and natural selection.
4. How does Coevolution cause the one species to act upon the evolution of another?
G.
Genetic Equilibrium
1. Explain the difference between Gene Flow and Gene Pool.
2. Explain the three types of Natural Selection.
3. Explain the difference between gradualism and punctuated equilibrium.
