EVOLUTION OBJECTIVES Describe the formation of the first cells. This is called the heterotroph hypothesis. Analyze experimental evidence that proves spontaneous generation could have occurred under early atmospheric conditions. Explain the formation of eukaryotic cells according to the endosymbiont theory. Analyze the experiments of Redi and Pasteur that disprove spontaneous generation under current conditions. Explain examples of fossil evidence as it pertains to evidence for evolution (gradualism or punctuated equilibrium). Analyze amino acid sequences of various organisms to identify evolutionary relationships (common ancestry). Analyze homologous and vestigial structures to identify evolutionary relationships (common ancestry). Explain the process of natural selection including variation, overproduction, competition and survival of the best adapted. Apply Darwin’s process of natural selection to the evolution of a favorable trait in a specific organism. Explain that mutation and sexual reproduction provide the variation necessary for natural selection. Explain that organisms with favorable adaptations survive, reproduce, and pass those adaptations to their offspring. Provide examples of structural, behavioral and physiological adaptations that evolved due to natural selection. Model the process of natural selection in a simulation. Discuss how human activities can select for antibiotic resistant bacteria. Explain that evolution occurs when the gene pool changes- not at the individual level. Describe examples of stabilizing, directional, and disruptive selection as a result of environmental conditions. Explain that geographic isolation may lead to reproductive isolation, which may result in speciation. Describe the evolution of pesticide resistant insects and antibiotic resistant bacteria using Darwin’s theory of natural selection. Describe the selective advantage of viruses that are able to mutate quickly, making them more difficult to treat or prevent. Provide examples of passive versus active immunity to infections. CLASSIFICATION OBJECTIVES Explain the modern tools that scientists use to classify organisms, including morphology, biochemical analysis, embryology, and evolutionary phylogeny. Interpret a phylogenetic tree/ cladogram to identify evolutionary relationships of organisms. Explain the historical development of classification systems that shifted from a 2 to 5 to 6 kingdom system of categorizing organisms. Identify the 6 kingdoms of living organisms and provide examples of organisms in each. Describe the seven levels of taxonomy for classifying living systems. Recognize and correctly write a scientific name. Use a dichotomous key to identify a group of organisms. Describe the structure of a virus Explain that a virus does not fit into any of the 6 Kingdoms Outline the life cycle of a virus Contrast active/ passive immunity to infection
