terms from Chapter 7.
Explain how generation
time (the time to reproduce)
influences the rate at which
a species can evolve.
Include a graph to show the
relationship between rate of
evolution and generation
time.
Summarize the ideas that
Darwin developed from
books by Malthus and
Lyell. How did they
influence his idea of
evolution by natural

Explain in detail the two
ways that organisms can be
compared to provide
