U8 Evolution Test Review 2015-16
I. TEKS
7A: Analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil
record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and development;
7B: Analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis and
sequential nature of groups in the fossil record;
7C: Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals;
7D: Analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of
population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result
in differential reproductive success;
7E: Analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and the development of diversity in and
among species.
