: Review ch. 14 - 16: Evolution
You’ll notice that info from Ch 16 is not on this review sheet. While that
material may be on the OGT (and that’s why we covered it) it is a litle
confusing, and not on the test! 
Terms you should know:
 biogenesis
 Archaea
 radiometric dating
 absolute dating
 evolution
 adaptation
 homologous structures
 vestigial structures
 divergent evolution
 coevolution
spontaneous generation
cyanobacteria
half life
relative dating
natural selection
transitional species
analogous structures
convergent evolution
adaptive radiation
artificial selection
People you should know (and what they did/their ideas or experiments):
 Francesco Redi
Larazzo Spallanzani
 Louis Pasteur
Charles Lyell
 Jean Baptiste Lamarck
Alfred Russell Wallace
 Charles Darwin
Miller and Urey
Things you should be able to do:
 Compare/contrast biogenesis with spontaneous generation
 Summarize the efforts of scientists involved with disproving the theory of
spontaneous generation’
 Summarize theories of how the Earth formed
 Summarize theories of how life formed on the Earth, including conditions on
early Earth that lead to life
 Describe experimental evidence to support theories of how life formed on Earth
 Explain the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection, i.e. what are the four
parts to it.
 Use an example to illustrate the four parts of the Theory of Evolution by
Natural Selection
 Provided evidence for the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection
 Summarize other scientific ideas of evolution and why they are no longer
accepted
 Compare/contrast divergent and convergent evolution and the structures they
lead to
 Give examples of divergent evolution, convergent evolution, coevolution,
adaptive radiation and artificial selection
 Give examples of anatomical structures that have changed through evolution
 Interpret diagrams to tell how closely related organisms are evolutionarily
