The Process of Evolution by Natural Selection – Be able to explain the process of evolution by natural selection as it applies to a specific living thing using the outline below: Natural variations caused by random mutations (adaptations) in DNA exist within populations. Those with helpful adaptations survive an environmental change (maybe a predator.) The survivors breed, passing on the inherited mutation (adaptation) to offspring. The resulting population has more of the successful inherited mutation (adaptation) than the original population.

Question

. The Process of Evolution by Natural Selection –

  1. Be able to explain the process of evolution by natural selection as it applies to a specific living thing using the outline below:
  • Natural variations caused by random mutations (adaptations) in DNA exist within populations.
  • Those with helpful adaptations survive an environmental change (maybe a predator.)
  • The survivors breed, passing on the inherited mutation (adaptation) to offspring.
  • The resulting population has more of the successful inherited mutation (adaptation) than the original population.

Phylogenetic Trees

  1. Infer evolutionary relationships of living things by interpreting phylogenetic trees.
  2. Know the divisions of hierarchical classification. (DKPCOFGS)

c.  Differentiate between homologous and analogous (caused by convergent evolution) structures
