2 Biology F block Mrs.
Wissler/Mr. Germain 4/25/17 – 5/15/17
EVOLUTION UNIT
Learning Objectives:
Student will be able to:
- Describe the Theory of Evolution including
descent from a common ancestor and how species change over time.
- Explain how natural selection and genetic
variation are the processes that drive evolution.
- Distinguish between stabilizing, disruptive and
directional natural selection.
- Analyze data and give examples of evidence for
evolution, including genetic and biochemical similarities, comparative
anatomy, embryology and vestigial structures.
- Recognize and explain the processes of coevolution,
divergent evolution, and convergent evolution.
- Describe speciation and the process of
classification of species into evolutionary trees.
- Use data to correctly assign species to a
phylogenic tree.
Academic Goals:
v MCAS 5.1: Explain how evolution is demonstrated by evidence
from the fossil record, comparative anatomy, genetics, molecular biology, and
examples of natural selection.
v
MCAS 5.2: Describe species as reproductively distinct groups of organisms.
Recognize that species are further classified into a hierarchical taxonomic
system (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species) based on
morphological, behavioral, and molecular similarities. Describe the role that
geographic isolation can play in speciation.
v
MCAS 5.3: Explain
how evolution through natural selection can result in changes in biodiversity
through the increase or decrease of genetic diversity within a population
Essential Question:
How does the basic mechanism
of genetics play a role in mutations and diversity of organisms?
How do the theories of
evolution contribute to our overall knowledge today both microscopically and
macroscopically?
How are all living organisms
classified into specific groupings?

MEIOSIS UNIT
Academic Goal:
MCAS 2.7 Describe how the process of meiosis results
in the formation of haploid cells.
Explain the importance of this process in sexual reproduction and how
gametes form diploid zygotes in the process of fertilization.
Learning Objectives:
Student should be able to:
1. Describe
the relationship between DNA, gene, and chromosome.
2. Compare and contrast the number and type of
chromosomes in body cells and in gametes.
3. Describe the process of meiosis and
understand how it results in the formation of haploid cells.
- Contrast meiosis and mitosis in terms of purpose and outcome.
- Explain the concept of homologous chromosomes and how they are related
to meiosis.
- List three ways that meiosis increases genetic diversity.
Essential Question: How does the
basic mechanism of genetics play a role in mutations and diversity of
organisms?
Central
Concepts: Genes allow for the storage and transmission of
genetic information. They are a set of instructions encoded in the nucleotide
sequence of each organism. Genes code for the specific sequences of amino acids
that comprise the proteins characteristic to that organism.
