Evolution Unit Study Guide (Key terms in bold) BIO.B.3.1 Explain the mechanisms of evolution. BIO.B.3.1.1 Explain how Natural Selection can impact allele frequencies of a population. o Genetic equilibrium 5 conditions for maintaining equilibrium o Genetic drift BIO.B.3.1.2 Describe the factors that can contribute to the development of new species (speciation). o Patterns and Trends of Evolution Divergent Evolution Isolating mechanisms (e.g. Geographic, Mechanical, Behavioral) Convergent Evolution Analogous structures BIO.B.3.1.3 Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotypic and phenotypic variations within a population. o Fitness o Adaptation BIO.B.3.2 Analyze the sources of evidence for biological evolution. BIO.B.3.2.1 Interpret evidence supporting the Theory of Evolution o Evidence for Common Ancestors Homologous structures (compare to analogous) Biochemistry/Genetic Code Anatomy Embryology o Evidence for Change over time Fossils Vestigial structures BIO.B.3.3 Apply scientific thinking, processes, tools, and technologies in the study of the theory of evolution. BIO.B.3.3.1 Distinguish between the scientific terms: hypothesis, inference, law, theory, principle, fact, and observation. o Describe how the concepts of evolution can be used to show the patterns and trends of the formation of species Gradualism vs. Punctuated Equilibrium Phylogeny Additional Terms Related to the above items of guiding questions Adaptive radiation Artificial selection Clade Derived Trait Extinction Founder effect Population bottleneck Selective Pressure
