1.
I can describe what makes up a gene pool.
 Define gene pool.

How was the picture of the penguins supposed to remind you of a gene pool?

Why is it important for a species to have a large gene pool?
2. I can understand why populations evolve not individuals.
 Describe how the population of Peppered moths in England evolved due to the Industrial Revolution.
3. I can analyze data to show directional, stabilizing, or disruptive selection and describe how each is effecting the
population.
 How does directional selection change the evolution of a population? Illustrate this with a graph. Think
about Peppered moths.

How does stabilizing selection change the evolution of a population? Illustrate this with a graph. Think
about Sickle Cell Anemia.

How does disruptive selection change the evolution of a population? Illustrate this with a graph. Think
about the color difference of male and female birds.

4. I can describe why a bottleneck effect has a negative effect on a population.
 Define bottleneck effect.

What does this do to the gene pool of a population?

What did you learn about bottleneck effect from the black footed ferret lab?
5. I can describe how a trait can have a high prevalence in a population due to founder effect.
 Define founder effect.

How was The Blue People of Troublesome Creek an example of founder effect?

6. I can describe various types of sexual selection in animals and relate how it is an example of disruptive selection.
 Define sexual selection.

Describe the mating ritual of the blue-footed booby.
7. I can use the Hardy Weinberg Theorem to calculate allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population.
 Write the Hardy Weinberg equation below.

How did the Teddy Graham lab help further your understanding of this concept?
8. I can contrast convergent and divergent evolution.
 Define convergent evolution and give an example. (think about the convergent concentration game)

Define divergent evolution and give an example.

Define coevolution and give an example. (think about the ants and the acacia tree)
