What is a species?
A species is often defined as the largest group

What is an invasive species? An
organism not native to the ecosystem
that reduces the diversity of the

What do scientists use to determine
the morphology and the time a
species lived if it has gone extinct?
Fossils
Name a cellular process that
creates genetic diversity.
Name a cellular process that
creates genetic diversity. Mutation
How does the use of air conditioning
contribute to mutations?
Name a cellular process that
creates genetic diversity. Mutation
How does the use of air conditioning contribute to
mutations? Air conditioners contain cfcs which can
destroy the ozone layer which prevents UV rays (a
mutagen) from reaching earth’s surface.
An adaptation is a trait that improves an
organism’s fitness for an environment.
Name an
adaptation that a
plant located at
35°N on the east
side of a
mountain.

Needle like leaves
and thick waxy
covering.
How does allopatric speciation
occur?
How does allopatric speciation occur?
Organisms that were once able to
breed become separated from one
another, perhaps by a stream, and then
evolve over time so they can no longer
interbreed.
Which fossil is the oldest?
Which fossil is the oldest? Trilobite
Name 3 factors that contribute to
extinctions.
Name 3 factors that contribute to
extinctions. Loss of habitat, climate
change, invasive species, inability to
adapt, over harvesting, natural
disasters
On average, what happens to
temperature as you move north of
the equator in the winter?
On average, what happens to
temperature as you move south of
the equator in the winter?
On average, what happens to
temperature as you move north of
the equator in the winter? It gets
cooler

Aspen trees favor niches that have
colder temperatures. Birch trees
share similar niches with aspen trees,
but they tolerate warmer climates
better. Which tree would come to
dominate if the amount of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere increased?

What is genetic drift?
What is genetic drift?
Change in the genetic composition of a
population over time as a result of random
mating.
Much of the information on your scale
model of the geologic timeline was
concentrated close to the present. If
the earth is 4.6 billion years old, why
are most of the animals and plants
near the present line?
Much of the information on your scale
model of the geologic timeline was
concentrated close to the present. If
the earth is 4.6 billion years old, why
are most of the animals and plants
near the present line? We only have
fossils (hard parts) for the most recent
events.
The earth is 4.6 billion years old.
The Mesozoic Era lasted from 248
million years ago to 65 million years
ago. Determine the percentage of
time the Mesozoic Era comprises of
the geologic time line.
The earth is 4.6 billion years old.
The Mesozoic Era lasted from 248
million years ago to 65 million years
ago. Determine the percentage of
time the Mesozoic Era comprises of
the geologic time line.
248 million years – 65 million years = 183 million years
183 million years/4.6 billion years = 0.04
0.04 * 100 = 4%
Human recorded history has lasted
6,000 years. If the earth is 4.6
billion years old, what percentage of
the earth’s timeline has human
recorded history?
Human recorded history has lasted
6,000 years. If the earth is 4.6
billion years old, what percentage of
the earth’s timeline has human
recorded history?
6,000 years/4,600,000,000 years =
0.0000013 or 1.3 *10-6
1.3 *10-6 *100 = 0.00013% or 1.3 *10-4%

Question:
1. You may need to calculate the species
richness and evenness for two tide pool
environments.
2. You may need to compare these diversities to
the general trend of latitude vs diversity.
3. You may need to explain how styrofoam
effects the ozone layer and how that could
influence the species diversity of the two tide
pool environments (pages 52-55) .
Human recorded history has lasted
6,000 years. If the earth is 4.6
billion years old, what percentage of
the earth’s timeline has human
recorded history?
6000 years /4.6 billion years = 6000 years/4600000000 years =
1.3 * 10-8 or 0.000000013
1.3 * 10-8 * 100 = 1.3 *10-6% or 0.0000013 %
Which situations allow for more
rapid evolution?
Which situations allow for more
rapid evolution? Greater genetic
variation, smaller populations,
shorter generation times
Some scientists estimate that the
current global extinction rate is about
30,000 species per year. If there are
currently 15,000,000 species on earth,
how long will it take to destroy all of
Earth’s biodiversity?
