AP Biology
Campbell Biology Chapters
 Chapter 22: Descent with Modification
o 22.1 The Darwinian revolution challenged traditional views of a young Earth inhabited by unchanging species
o 22.2 Descent with modification by natural selection explains the adaptations of organisms and the unity and diversity of life
o 22.3 Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence
 Chapter 23: The Evolution of Populations
o 23.1 Genetic variation make evolution possible
o 23.2 The Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to test whether a population is evolving
o 23.3 Natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow can alter allele frequencies in a population
o 23.4 Natural selection is the only mechanism that consistently causes adaptive radiation
