AP Biology Term 3 Term introduction In Term 3 we will study the theory of evolution. This theory states that current organisms descended from a common ancestor. It is understood that these organisms descended with some modification. Several sources of evidence are used to explain and support the theory of evolution including, similarities in DNA sequences of different organisms, homologous structures and fossil record. Charles Darwin’s trip to the Galapagos Islands provides some of the most important evidence of in support of evolution. We will conclude the term by exploring the currently help theories of the origin of life. Term 3 Topic Evolution Skills list 4. Genes are a set of instructions encoded in the DNA sequence of each organism: a. ribosomes synthesize proteins, using tRNAs to translate genetic information in mRNA. b. the genetic coding rules to predict the sequence of amino acids from a sequence of codons in RNA. c. mutations in the DNA sequence of a gene may or may not affect the expression of the gene. d. specialization of cells in multicellular organisms is usually due to different patterns of gene expression. e. proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence of amino acids. f. proteins with different amino acid sequences typically have different shapes and chemical properties. Evolution (EV) 7. The frequency of an allele in a gene pool of a population depends on many factors: a. natural selection acts on the phenotype rather than the genotype of an organism. b. alleles that are lethal in a homozygous individual may be carried in a heterozygote. c. new mutations are constantly being generated in a gene pool. d. variation increases the likelihood of survival under changed environmental conditions. e. conditions for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are not likely to appear in nature. f. Hardy-Weinberg equation predicts the frequency of genotypes in a population. 8. Evolution is the result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environments: a. natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of organisms. b. diversity of species increases the chance that some organisms survive changes in the environment. c. genetic drift affects diversity of organisms in a population. d. reproductive or geographic isolation affects speciation. e. fossil evidence are analyzed for biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction. f. cladogram shows probable evolutionary relationships. g. molecular clocks help to estimate how long ago various groups of organisms diverged evolutionarily from one another. Investigation and Experimentation (IE) 10. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations: a. Select and use appropriate tools and to perform tests, collect data, analyze relationships, and display data. b. Identify and communicate sources of unavoidable experimental error. c. Identify possible reasons for inconsistent results, such as sources of error. d. Formulate explanations by using logic and evidence. e. Solve scientific problems by using quadratic equations and simple trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. f. Distinguish between hypothesis and theory as scientific terms. g. Recognize the usefulness and limitations of models and theories h. Read and interpret topographic and geologic maps. i. Analyze the locations, sequences, or time intervals that are characteristic of natural phenomena j. Recognize the issues of statistical variability and the need for controlled tests. k. Recognize the cumulative nature of scientific evidence. l. Analyze situations and solve problems by applying concepts from more than one area of science. m. Investigate a science-based societal issue by researching the literature, analyzing data, and communicating the findings. n. when an observation does not agree with an accepted scientific theory, the observation is sometimes mistaken Essential questions How does information flow from DNA to RNA to direct the synthesis of proteins?
