EVOLUTION UNIT REVIEW
What you need to know
EVOLUTION BOARD GAME
• What do we know to this point?
• With your Research Project Groups, grab a “game
board” and a die.
• Roll to a question, answer correctly and stay.
• Don’t answer correctly, move back one space.
• Play until there is a winner!
SO WHAT DO WE NEED TO KNOW?
• All of Chapter 15
– 15.1 Fossils
– 15.2 Theories of Evolution
– 15.3 Process of Evolution
• Section 16.2 Disruption of Genetic Equilibrium
SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO PREPARE?
• FLASHCARDS FLASHCARDS FLASHCARDS
• Provide EXAMPLES for each of the structures, processes
and agents of evolutionary change which we have
looked at.
• Look at notes from Lesson Slides
– The notes highlight important components of the lessons…
• Look at the Review sheets
– Provide you with the types of questions I might ask
WHAT TO KNOW
• Chapter 15.1- Fossils
– Know the four different fossil types we discussed
• Mold, Cast, Amber, Trace
– Know how the law of superposition can be used
to provide evidence of evolution of a species.
• Recall- Fossils found in lower strata (layers) are OLDER
than fossils found in upper strata.
WHAT TO KNOW
• Chapter 15.2- Theorists
– Jean Baptiste Lamarck
• First to propose species evolved from other species
• Proposed Acquired Traits were the reason for change in
species over time
– Charles Darwin
• Proposed that the environment selects for favourable
traits in a population
• Two main theories (Be able to explain)
– Natural Selection (NON-survival of the NON-FIT/ Survival
of the fittest)
– Descent with Modification (modification of organisms
over time due to environmental influence)
WHAT TO KNOW
• 15.3 Evidence of Evolution
– Evidence (be able to describe, and give
examples of)
• Homologous Structures
• Analogous Structures
• Vestigial Structures
• Similarities in Macromolecules
• Similarities in Embryology (Vertebrates)
WHAT TO KNOW
• 15.3 Process of Evolution
– Provide examples, and know which structures are associated
with:
• Co-Evolution
• Convergent Evolution
• Divergent Evolution
– Adaptive Radiation
– Artificial Selection
WHAT TO KNOW
• Chapter 16.2- Disruption of Genetic
Equilibrium
– The Hardy-Weinberg Genetic
Equilibrium***** (16.1)
• Know the 5 assumptions that the HWE
makes for an ideal, non-evolving
population
WHAT TO KNOW
• 16.2- Agents of Evolutionary change
– Mutations
• Insertions, Deletions, Substitutions
– Genetic Drift
– Migration (Gene Flow)
– Non-Random Mating
• Assortive mating
– Selection
• Stabilizing, Directional, Disruptive
• Recognize/ Be able to produce the shapes of the graphs!
POSTER PARADISE
• With your Evolution Research Teams, start at one poster
dispersed around the room
• You have one minute to write down as much info as you
can on the topic
– One Rule, every student in group MUST write at least one thing
before the time runs out
TO DO NOW
• Work on your Review Sheets (15.2, 15.3, 16.2)
• Start making flashcards for your test
• Finish off any journal entries
• If you want to try an Evolution Quiz (from years past)
come see me
• Chapter 15 Review in back of text book
• 16.2 Review in Textbook
• STUDY STUDY STUDY
