Goal 1: Learner will develop abilities necessary to do and understand scientific inquiry.
1.01 Identify biological problems and questions that can be answered through scientific
investigations.
1.02 Design and conduct scientific investigations to answer biological questions (create testable
hypotheses, identify variables, use a control or comparison group when appropriate, select
and use appropriate measurement tools, collect and record data, organize data into charts and
graphs, analyze and interpret data, communicate findings).

1.03 Formulate and revise scientific explanations and models of biological phenomena using logic
and evidence to: explain observations, make inferences and predictions, explain the
relationship between evidence and explanation.
Bromothymol blue turns to bromothymol yellow in the presence of carbon dioxide. When the carbon
dioxide is removed, the solution will return to a blue color. Two green water plants were placed in

tube was placed in the light, the other in the dark. After several days, the liquid in the tube exposed to
light turned blue.

3.05 Examine the development of the theory of evolution by natural selection including:
development of the theory, the origin and history of life, fossil and biochemical evidence,
mechanisms of evolution, and applications (pesticide and antibiotic resistance).
In the following chart, describe the role of each of the following in developing the current theory of
evolution.
Understanding of geology
(Changes in the earth) p. 374
Malthus’ ideas about population
Growth p. 374
Embryological Similarities p. 385
Patterns in fossil evidence p. 417
Homologous Structures p. 384
Biochemical comparisons
(DNA and proteins) p. 394
The role of variations p. 380, 407
How this supports the evolutionary theory:
Understanding that the earth changes over time explains why
organisms might change to fit the new environments.
Organisms reproduce exponentially but the world is not
overcrowded by organisms – because they compete to survive
Similar anatomy early in development suggests similar ancestry.
Following the patterns and aging the fossils suggests evolutionary
trees.
Similar anatomy suggests similar ancestry
Similar DNA and/or proteins suggests similar ancestry
The role of sexual reproduction
Variations provide the fuel for natural selection. Those variations
that are advantageous are selected for; survive and are passed on.
Sexual reproduction is a source of variation.
The role of geographic isolation
p. 380, 407
The importance of the
environment
Geographic isolation can lead to speciation when organisms are
evolving in two different environments.
Environments select for the adaptations that best suit the organisms
for survival in that environment.
Discuss the steps in Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.
1. Populations of organisms have many genetic variations. Where do these come from? p. 394
Mutations and sexual reproduction
2. Organisms could reproduce exponentially but they don’t. Why not? p.380
Competition for resources – only the hardiest survive
3. Genetic variations lead to different adaptations. What are adaptations? p. 380
Characteristics that fit the organism to the environment
4. Some adaptations have better survival value in certain environments. What does this mean? p. 380
Those that are better able to cope with the environment are more likely to reproduce
5. Those organisms with adaptations that better fit them to an environment will survive, reproduce and
pass on their genes. What does it mean to be “fit” to an environment? p. 380
More likely to survive, reproduce and pass on those genes.
6. The next population will have a high frequency of the genes that have been selected for. Why will the
frequency of selected genes increase? p. 394
Because organisms with those alleles have survived to reproduce; the organisms with other alleles did not
survive to reproduce (as frequently).
7. When this process continues over millions of years, it can lead to speciation. What is speciation?
p.404 Formation of a new species
The appearance of a group of organisms that are different enough from their ancestors that they could no
longer interbreed and produce fertile offspring with those ancestors.
Biology EOC Review
8. Describe how a population of bacteria can become resistant to an antibiotic (or an insect to a pesticide)
using the steps listed above. p. 403
The bacteria that are different and able to survive an antibiotic will reproduce and pass this resistance on
to the next generation
Bacteria are exposed to antibiotic; a few of the bacteria have a variation that makes them resistant to the
antibiotic; those bacteria survive in the antibiotic environment; they are the bacteria that reproduce and
their genes are passed on; the new generation has a much high frequency of the resistance genes. If this
happens over many generations, speciation could occur.
9. What are the differences between abiogenesis and biogenesis? p. 8-13
Abiogenesis is life arising from non-living things; biogenesis is life arising from living things
10. What did Louis Pasteur contribute to our understanding of the origins of life? p. 12-13
Pasteur showed that living things could only arise from other living things.
11.Explain Miller and Urey’s hypothesis. p.424
Organic molecules could be synthesis from the inorganic
molecules in the early environment.
12. Why did Miller and Urey put those particular gases
into their experiment? p. 424
Early earth’s atmosphere consisted of methane,
ammonia, hydrogen gas, and water vapor.
13. What type of organic molecules did they find? p. 424
Amino acids, lipids
14. What is the significance of their experiments? p. 424
It helps explain how living things might first have
evolved.
15. Most hypotheses state that prokaryotic anaerobes
probably evolved first. Why? p.426-428
Simpler- no oxygen present on early earth
16. The hypotheses then suggest that prokaryotic
autotrophs probably evolved? Why? p.426-428
More complex than anaerobes, but still no oxygen in
environment.
17. What would enter the atmosphere as a result of these autotrophs appearing. p. 426 Oxygen gas
18. Then prokaryotic aerobic heterotrophs could evolve. What can these cells do that others before them
cannot? p. 426-428 Use oxygen to get maximum energy from their nutrients.
19. What is the hypothesis explaining how eukaryotic cells evolved? p.426-428
Endosymbiotic hypothesis – bacteria began living inside other bacteria mutualistically. Over time, these
bacteria became mitochondria and chloroplasts.
