Concept Check- 2
22.2 In The Origin of Species, Darwin proposed that species change through natural
selection
 The Origin of Species- descent with modification, artificial selection,
Ernst Mayr, three inferences, five observations, populations possess an
enormous reproductive potential, populations tend to be stable in size,
resources are limited, individuals compete for survival, no two individuals
are exactly alike, much variation is heritable, only the most “fit”
individuals will survive, evolution occurs as advantageous traits
accumulate
 Artificial Selection- artificial selection
 Summary of Natural Selection- natural selection, adaptation, fitness

22.3 Darwin’s theory explains a wide range of observations
 The Evolution of Drug Resistant HIV
 Homology, Biogeography, and the Fossil Record- homology, homologous
structures, divergent evolution, comparative embryology, ontology,
phylogeny, vestigial organs, biogeography, convergent evolution,
analogous structures, fossil record
