Evolution Terms to Know
 directional selection
 disruptive selection
 domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order,
family, genus, species
 Evidence of evolution
 evolutionary adaptation
 founder effect
 gene flow
 gene pool
 genetic drift
 Genetic variation
As you are completing your internet activities on evolution, watch for the terms on this sheet. You will
need to define them and eventually come up with a concept map or graphic organizer.
