BIOLOGY GOALS & STANDARDS Unit 5 – Evolution The Student Will: 5.1 Explain how the scientific theory of evolution is supported by the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, molecular biology, and observed evolutionary change 5.2 Describe the conditions required for natural selection, including: overpopulation of offspring, inherited variation, and the struggle to survive, which results in differential reproductive success 5.3 Describe how mutation and genetic recombination increases genetic variation 5.4 Describe how biological diversity is increased by the origin of new species and how it is decreased by the natural process of extinction 5.5 Discuss mechanisms of evolutionary change other than natural selection such as genetic drift and gene flow 5.6 List the conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a population and why these conditions are not likely to appear in nature. Use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to predict genotypes in a population from observed phenotypes (HONORS ONLY) 5.7 Describe the scientific explanations of the origin of life on Earth 5.8 Explain the evidence supporting the scientific theory of the origin of eukaryotic cells (HONORS ONLY) 5.9 Describe how and why organisms are hierarchically classified and classified based on evolutionary relationships 5.10 Explain the reason for changes in how organisms are classified 5.11 Discuss distinguishing characteristics of the domains and kingdoms of living organisms 5.12 Explain how and why the genetic code is universal and is common to almost all organisms 5.13 Discuss the use of molecular clocks to estimate how long ago various groups of organisms diverged evolutionarily from one another (HONORS ONLY) 5.14 Identify the basic trends in hominid evolution from early ancestors six million years ago to modern humans, including brain size, jaw size, language, and manufacture of tools Range, A.
