Evolution Study Guide
Honors Biology Standard SB5
Unpack all 5 parts of SB5
 A. Trace the theory of evolution: Review
Darwin and his studies (includes Galapagos Islands)
Lamarks’ theory
Lyell
Hutton
 B. Explain the history of life in terms of biodiversity, ancestry and the
rates of evolution: (Review)
Carbon 14 and radioactive isotopes, half-life
Geographic isolation
Allelic frequencies
Changes in gene pools (immigrations and emigration)
Hardy Weinburg theory about natural solution
 C. Explain how fossil and biochemical evidence support the theory of
evolution. (Review)
Homology (analogus structures and homologus structures)
Embryology (ontogeny and phylogeny)
DNA and Genetic Comparison (Amino Acid sequencing)
Fossil Record (cladograms)
Coevolution
Covergent species
Vestigal organs/ structures
 D. Relate natural selection to changes in organisms (review)
Bunny lab and allelic frequencies
Artificial selection
Natural selection
Genetic Drift
Bottleneck theory
Stabilizing, directional, disruptive selection
Punctuated equilibrium
Genetic equilibrium
 E. Recognize the role of evolution to biological resistance(pesticide
and antibiotics) (Review)
Explain why micro-evolution is easily witnessed.
Discuss the possibilities of the dangers of antibiotics.
Why would pesticides be potentially dangerous to crops?
The test will be on Monday. In preparation review all topics
mentioned in the review. The study guide is not a right and
should be used as a tool to guide and focus the information
from Biology Standard 5.
