BIOLOGY 11 UNIT C – EVOLUTION

 

  1. PRESCRIBED LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of this unit, you must be able to:

 

1) describe the process of evolution

  1. describe the basic structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) with reference to the following terms:
    • double helix
    • sugar-phosphate backbone
    • nitrogenous bases (A, T, C, G)
    • complementary base pairing (A-T, C-G)
  2. explain the role of DNA in evolution
  3. describe the five agents of evolutionary change:
  • mutation
  • genetic drift
  • gene flow
  • non-random mating
  • natural selection
  1. differentiate among and give examples of convergent evolution, divergent evolution, and speciation
  2. compare the gradual change model with the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution
