Evolution Test Study Guide: Students will be expected to… 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Identify examples of artificial selection and natural selection List the tenets of and explain the mechanism of natural selection Identify a scenario as being directional, disruptive or stabilizing selection Identify an isolating mechanism as being geographic, behavioral or temporal Recognize that more recent fossils generally occur on top of older fossils Define speciation Explain plate tectonic theory Use molecular sequence information (DNA, amino acids) to infer relatedness of organisms 9. Use anatomical similarities and differences to infer relatedness of organisms 10. Describe evidence of evolution (fossils, embryos, geography, DNA, anatomy…) 11. Define, explain evolution 12. Interpret a cladogram 13. Identify the source(s) of variation upon which natural selection acts. What are the causes of variation? Important vocabulary: Adaptation Adaptive radiation Analogous structure Artificial selection Behavioral isolation Cladogram Coevolution Common ancestor Convergent evolution Crossing over Directional selection Disruptive selection DNA Embryos Evolution Fitness Fossil Gene pool Genetic drift Geographic isolation Gradualism Homologous structure Hox genes Index fossil Meiosis Mutations Node (on a cladogram) Natural selection Punctuated equilibrium Plate tectonics Radiometric dating Relative dating Reproductive isolation Sexual selection Speciation Species Stabilizing selection Temporal isolation Theory Variation Vestigial structure
