Punctuated equilibrium
Sexual selection (two types)
behavioral
Adaptive radiation
Interspecific and Intrasexual reproduction
specific
recombination
3. Essay choice: Give an example of a mass extinction and what is the most accepted hypothesis for the
cause of this extinction?
4. Essay Choice: Explain (briefly) why speciation theory is dependent on mutations and geographic
isolation.
5. Explain how sexual selection is considered quality control of a species’ population (remember there are
two types).
6. Essay Choice: Selection pressures are what drives evolution theory. Explain examples of them and how
the “rules of the game” can change affecting survival vs extinction.
7. Essay Choice: Describe the four main principles of natural selection theory (DOVA).
8. Know examples of evidence of evolution.
9. Explain how Natural Selection is nature’s quality control filter and how populations evolve, not
individuals.
10. Bird Lab – what does this illustrate?
