AP BIOLOGY—Unit 8
Evolution
Name:
Objectives:
1. Discuss current models for origins of macromolecules.
2. Explain how simple prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms may have originated.
3. List and explain evidence used to support an evolutionary view of life.
4. Differentiate between evolution and evolutionary theory (microevolution and macroevolution).
5. Describe and give examples of the factors causing changes in gene frequency in a population.
6. Describe and use Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.
7. Define species and explain how a species may become isolated.
8. Differentiate between models of evolution.
9. Use morphological and molecular information to construct and analyze phylogenetic trees.
