Evolution “Ring of Truth” Assessment Scoring Guide
AP Prep Biology/Biology
Learning Target 5 – Use
the DNA model to
illustrate the processes of
replication and protein
synthesis and predict the
outcome when these
processes do not occur
correctly.
Learning Target 12Justify and provide
examples of how natural
selection works over time
to produce a succession
of diversity new species
that are adapted to their
environment.

1 of the Level 2 parts is
missing or incomplete.
None of the Level 2
parts are missing or
incomplete.

3 (2+) - Proficient
4 (3+) - Advanced
1. I can discuss the process and
importance of gene expression
through the making of proteins
in cells.
2. I can describe how sexual
selection by females leads to
natural selection.
3. I can describe how the change
in the genetic makeup of a
population through natural
selection drives evolution.
Demonstrates the ability to
process the Level 2 concepts
through comparisons,
analysis, diagrams, sorting of
new concepts or by making
analogies.
Demonstrates the
ability to create your
own new ideas based
on the Level 2
concepts. This may
be done by making
predictions,
evaluating data,
speculation or by
applying the concept
or principle to a new
situation.
1. Process of gene expression
2. Importance of proteins.
- Repair structures
- Growth
3. Types of Sexual Selection
- Male competition
- Female choice
4. Change in genetic makeup
- Allele Frequencies
5. Ways alleles change
- Genetic Drift
- Gene Flow
- Mutation
- Natural Selection
Similarities
1. Misconceptions
about Meiosis
1. Analysis how proteins
control traits which are
selected for by females?
2. Relate the ideas of Natural
Selection to genetic variation
and changes in allele
frequency
3. Connect the ideas of
random and non-random
allele change to gene
expression
