HBIO II EVOLUTION BY NATURAL SELECTION
2013
Earth’s early history 423-428; Geologic time 421-422; Eras 429-434
Day 1
Describe the hypothesized environment of ancient Earth.
Describe the first hypothesized life form.
Relate the term abiogenesis to the first complex molecules.
Relate the proposed age of the earth to the geologic time scale.
Rank major events in the life history of earth.
Name and place in order the characteristic forms of life in the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras.
Darwin’s influences 373-377; Evidence of evolution 382-386
Day 2
Discuss the influences of Hutton, Wallace, Lamarck, Lyell, and Malthus on Darwin’s theory of evolution.
Explain how similarities in embryos are evidence of shared ancestry.
Describe homologous structures as related to evolution
List examples of vestigial organs and how they indicate evolutionary change.
Relative dating 418-420
Day 3
Calculate the half-life of a substance relative to radioactive dating.
Darwin’s Cruise 369-372; Darwin’s Ideas and Observations 378-382; 386; Variation 393-396
Day 4 & Day 5 & Day 7
Explain evolution in terms of Darwin’s observations and studies.
Explain what Darwin meant by natural selection.
Discuss the principle of survival of the fittest.
Explain the relationship between genes and variation.
Define evolutionary fitness.
Describe evolution of a population as it relates to gene frequency of a trait.
Identify a selective pressure in the evolution of a population.
Analyze how heritable characteristics in structure, chemistry or behavior influence an organism’s ability
to survive and reproduce.
Mutation & Evolution 347-348; Direction of Natural Selection 397-398; Genetic Drift 400; Divergent and
Convergent Evolution 436-437, 850-851; Isolation 404-405
Day 6
Use the sickle cell gene to explain how the environment can influence the success of a mutated gene in
a gene pool.
Recognize the three types of natural selection.
Explain genetic drift to understand why not all evolutionary changes are adaptive.
Differentiate divergent and convergent evolution.
Gradualism vs. Punctualism 439
Day 8
Apply the terms gradualism and punctualism to the rate of evolution.
Silver Maple Challenge lab & Review for exam
Day 9 Relate the presence of biochemical compounds found in all organisms to a shared evolutionary
relationship. (454-455)

Application Questions:
1. A fossilized bone found near primitive drawings in a cave were found to have 1/8 the amount of
Carbon-14 when compared to a living bone. Knowing the half life of Carbon-14 is 5770 years,
how old is the bone?
2. Use the sickle cell gene to explain how the environment can influence the success of a gene in
a gene pool.
3. Use the “5 steps of evolution” to explain how something has evolved.
