Biology Unit 4.1: Mechanisms of Biological Evolution My learning target: I can analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals; I can analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproductive success (7C); I can analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species; and I can analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and recombination My Look-Fors I can define natural selection (7C) I can explain what is meant by “survival of the fittest” (7C) I can describe how genetic traits can affect the survival of a population (7C) I can interpret a population graph to determine if a population is suited for an environment (7C) I can explain how environmental resources can affect the survival of a population(7C) I can analyze a scenario to determine how natural selection has affected the population rather than an individual(7C) I can analyze an population’s traits to determine how the trait affects the reproductive success of the population(7E) I can evaluate a group of similar organisms and use my knowledge of natural selection to determine environmental factors that may have affected their diversity(7C) I can determine the result of directional selection, stabilizing selection and disruptive selection (7C) I can associate a graph to each of the selective pressures (directional selection, stabilizing selection and disruptive selection) (7C) I can decipher between a genetic trait and an acquired trait (7C) I can explain how the number of offspring produced can affect the survival of a population(7D) I understand that resistance to insecticides and pesticides is a genetic trait that is passed to offspring (7D) I can analyze a population graph to determine the effectiveness of an insecticide/pesticide (7D) I can describe the effect that geographic isolation has on a gene pool (7E) I can describe how adaptations such as mimicry and pesticide resistance can affect a population (7E) I can analyze how a specific adaptation may affect a population (7E) I can explain how speciation occurs (7E) I can evaluate a scenario and determine if speciation could occur (7E) I can evaluate scenarios to determine situations that allow for highest rate of natural selection AND lowest rate of natural selection (7E) I can determine how beneficial or non-beneficial traits will affect frequencies in a gene pool (7E) I can explain genetic drift(7F) I can describe how the Founder Effect influences the gene pool of a population(7F) I can identify traits that would be present in a population because of the Founder Effect(7F) I need to work on this I am unsure or confused about this I already understand this I can evaluate a scenario involving genetic drift and explain how it affects genetic variation(7F) I can explain what occurs during gene flow (7F) I can describe the effect that gene flow has on genetic variation (7F) I can evaluate population size and reproductive method in a population and determine how they may affect gene frequency (7F) PreAP only: I can use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to determine the allele frequency in a population PreAP only: Given a word problem, I can use the Hardy-Weinberg equation to compare allele frequency in different populations Vocabulary: populations, species, evolution, natural selection, change, favorable traits, variation, adaptations, directional selection, disruptive selection, stabilizing selection, natural selection, genetic variation, survive, limited resources, competition, over-population, carrying capacity, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, recombination, differential reproductive success, diversity, gene pool, subspecies, geographic isolation, Founder Effect, gene frequency, mimicry, speciation, genetic kinship, selective pressure, random mating
