Standard 5 - Biodiversity and Change
Course Level Expectations:
CLE 3210.5.1
Associate structural, functional, and behavioral adaptations
with the ability of organisms to survive under various
environmental conditions.
CLE 3210.5.2
Analyze the relationship between form and function in
living things.
CLE 3210.5.3
Explain how genetic variation in a population and changing
environmental conditions are associated with adaptation
and the emergence of new species.
CLE 3210.5.4
Summarize the supporting evidence for the theory of
evolution.
SPI 3210.5.1 Compare and contrast the structural, functional, and
behavioral adaptations of animals or plants found in
different environments.
SPI 3210.5.2 Recognize the relationship between form and function in
living things.
SPI 3210.5.3 Recognize the relationships among environmental change,
genetic variation, natural selection, and the emergence of a
new species.
SPI 3210.5.4 Describe the relationship between the amount of
biodiversity and the ability of a population to adapt to a
changing environment.
SPI 3210.5.5 Apply evidence from the fossil record, comparative
anatomy, amino acid sequences, and DNA structure that
support modern classification systems.

Questions
1.
Explain Darwin’s use of the term “descent with modification” to
describe the process of evolution.
2.
Explain the differences between acquired characteristics and inherited
characteristics.
3.
Describe the four parts of reasoning in Darwin’s theory of evolution by
natural selection. Use examples and pictures in your answer.
4.
List and describe a minimum of five evidences of evolution.
5.
What are key differences and similarities between natural selection and
artificial selection?
6.
Give examples of species that may be coevolving. Describe how each
species influences the evolution of the other species.
7.
Describe a minimum of two causes of variation in populations.
8.
What is Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What are the five main
assumptions of the model?
9.
Draw graphs that shoe the differences between stabilizing selection,
disruptive selection, and directional selection. What type of occurance
might cause each?
10.
Describe the differences between sympatric and allopatric species.
What types of isolation occur in each?

1. List the modern taxa in order from most general to most specific.
2. Identify two types of information that modern taxonomists use to classify
organisms.
3. List and describe the major kingdoms (be aware that your book lists the 6
kingdom system which is out of date – Kindom Protista is not a valid
classification and has been divided in other ways.)
4. Contrast Bacteria with Archaea
5. Draw a chart that describes the similarities and differences between the three
Domains.
