Evolution (and flowers)
Genetics
Population Genetics: The way
natural selection and other
mechanisms of evolution lead to
adaptation
Pg. 397-400
Plant Reproduction through Flowers
Pg. 611-613
Evidence of Evolution: Evidence of
common ancestry among groups
through homologies, such as
homologous structures,
embryology, and molecular
similarities
Living things have traits
now because those traits
allowed their ancestors to
survive and reproduce
back then.
Pg. 378-385
Evidence of Evolution: Evidence of
common ancestry through fossil
record and biogeography
Theory of Evolution
Taxonomy
Summary of Darwin’s Theory
Pg. 386
Pg. 417-440
Pg. 369-372

Things you need to know for the test
1. What is selection pressure? Give an example.
2. What is relative frequency? Give an example.
3. What is survival of the fittest? How does it relate to evolution?
4. List the types of isolation that cause speciation.
5. Describe speciation.
6. What is a bell curve?
7. Draw each type of selection bell curve.
8. Be able to tell what type of selection is happening in word problems.
9. How do adaptations relate to evolution?
10.How is the process of natural selection related to the individual’s
environment?
11.What does the fossil record show about evolution?
12.Give an example of a vestigial organ.
13.How do scientists use embryology as evidence for evolution?
14.Give an example of a homologous structure.
15.What are the 4 different types of seed dispersal and why is seed
dispersal important for the plant?
16.What are the 2 ways of pollination and why is pollination important
for the plant?
17.Be able to label a diagram of the different parts of the flower and
know what they do.
