Textbook: Chapter 10: Principles of Evolution,Chapter 11: The Evolution of Populations
CA State Standards:
7a. Students know why natural selection acts on the phenotype rather than the genotype of an organism.
7b. Students know why alleles that are lethal in a homozygous individual may be carried in a heterozygote and thus maintained in the gene pool.
7c. Students know new mutations are constantly being generated in a gene pool.
7d. Students know variation within a species increases the likelihood that at least some members of a species will survive and under changedenvironment conditions.
8a. Students know how natural selection determine the differential survival of groups of organisms.
8b. Students know a great diversity of species increases the chance that as least some organisms survive major changes in the environment.
8c. Students know the effects of genetic drift on the diversity of organism in a population.
8d. Students know reproductive or geographical isolation affects speciation.
8e. Students know how to analyze fossil evidence with regard to biological diversity, episodic speciation, and mass extinction.
