BIOLOGY CALENDAR

SEMESTER 2, WEEK 9 TOPIC: Evolution

California State Standards for Evolution:

Evolution is the result of genetic changes that occur in constantly changing environments. As a basis for understanding this concept:

• Students know how natural selection determines the differential survival of groups of organisms.

• Students know a great diversity of species increases the chance that at least some organisms survive major changes in the environment.

• Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction

• Students know new mutations are constantly being generated in a gene pool.

• Students know variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive under changed environmental conditions.

·  Students know that reproductive or geographic isolation affects speciation.

·  Students know that natural selection acts of the phenotype rather than the genotype of an organism.

·  Students know that genetic variation and environmental factors are causes of evolution and diversity of organisms.
