(2.1) Unit Objectives: Describe the conditions under which natural selection occurs. Explain the principle of common descent. Explain how geologic distribution of species relates to their evolutionary history. Explain how fossils and the fossil record document the descent of modern species from ancient ancestors. Describe what homologous structures and embryology suggest about the process of evolutionary change. Explain how molecular evidence can be used to trace the process of evolution. Define evolution in genetic terms. Identify the main sources of genetic variation in a population. State what determines the number of phenotypes for a trait. Explain how natural selection affects single-gene and polygenic traits. Describe genetic drift. Explain how different factors affect genetic equilibrium. Identify the types of isolation that can lead to the formation of new species. Identify the processes that influence survival or extinction of a species. Contrast gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. Name two important patterns in macroevolution. Explain the evolutionary characteristics of coevolving organisms. Describe how to make and interpret a cladogram/phylogenetic tree. Explain the use of DNA sequences in classification. Name the six kingdoms of life as they are currently identified. Explain what the tree of life represents. List the characteristics that all animals share. Differentiate between invertebrates and chordates. List and discuss the essential functions that animals perform in order to survive.

Your completion of only C-layered and B-layered activities does guarantee you a C grade this is the highest grade you can expect from this layer. Also, tests and quests are required & will have an affect on your grade. Attendance is a must since most of this work is completed in class!! However, some activities will need to be completed for homework since we have limited time. **All assignments must have your name, period, and C#/B# in the upper right hand corner of the page upon turning in. **How to create flowcharts, concept maps, Tables, etc. can be found in Appendix (A6-A7) in your textbook. **If you unsure on how to complete any assignment, please ask!!
