NATURAL SELECTION & THE EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION STUDY GUIDE Directions: On a separate sheet of paper complete the below sections to the study guide. Darwin and Natural Selection Darwin’s Biography: Include THREE relevant facts about Darwin. Influences on Darwin: Briefly explain what Darwin learned from Thomas Malthus and Charles Lyell to help create his theory of natural selection. See Pages 118-119 in the textbook for help. Steps of Natural Selection: Using the five steps of Natural Selection (from our notes) explain how a specific plant or animal obtained an adaptation through natural selection. Vocab: Briefly explain how each of the following pairs of vocab words are different from each other: natural selection & selected breeding species & speciation Evidence of Evolution Vocab: Briefly explain how each of the following pairs of vocab words are related: half-life & radioactive dating homologous structure & vestigial structure Fossil Record o Explain the difference between relative age fossils & absolute age fossils. o Why did Darwin use a “tree of life” (page 111 in the textbook) to model evolution over time? Comparative Anatomy o Explain why the animal forelimbs shown on figure 8, page 114 in the textbook, are a good example of homologous structures. o List 2 examples of vestigial structures found in the human body. Comparative Genetics o According to page 114 in the textbook, how does DNA provide evidence of evolution? STUDY GUIDE DUE DATE IS: ________________________________________
