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?

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.
