Section: 16.2 – Ideas That Shaped Darwin’s Thinking
Explain the concept of “deep
time”
How did Darwin apply Lyell’s
ideas about geological change
to his thoughts about biological
change?
Critical Thinking: What
would Lamarck had predicted
about the muscle structure of a
baby born from a mother and
father who were professional
body-builders?
How does Malthus’ ideas about
human population growth
apply to other species like
maple trees or oysters?
How did Malthus’ ideas
influence Darwin’s thinking?
Period:
What is the relationship
between variations in a species
phenotypes and artificial
selection?
Section: 16.3 – Darwin Presents His Case
Using Fig. 16-10, “Visual Summary”, explain how natural selection plays out in a hypothetical grasshopper population
1) The struggle for existence
2) variation and adaptation
3) Survival of the fittest
4) Natural selection
Explain “descent with
modification”
Section: 16.4 – Evidence of Evolution
What does fossil evidence
suggest about the ancestors of
the modern day blue whale?
Exactly what structure does a
modern day whale have
supporting this idea?
Give an example of
homologous structures, and
what these structures suggest
about the different species
How are homologous
structures different from
analogous structures?
With respect to homologous
molecules, give an example of a
homologous protein found in
nearly ALL species, and how it
functions.
What is the “classic” example
of natural selection in action?
What are some of the traits
observed in these species?
