Life Sciences Evolution Exam Guide

Acme Guide: Evolution exam

Theories
Cell Theory	What are the key points regarding this theory? Why is a cell a fundamental unit of life?
Abiogenesis	In this theory, where did new species come from?
Evolution
	How is “fixity of species” related to theory of evolution? Why does sexual reproduction contribute to diversity of species? What is the most reliable method to dating the earth’s age? When is a population considered adapted to minor environmental fluctuations (changes). How is an inherited variation related to the environment? What are two examples of the rate of change in evolution? What are four definitions of evolution and why? (consider process, theory, change in gene pool and diversity in species) How is structure and function related homologous, analogous and vestigial structures? What are four forms of indirect evidence? Provide an example. What are three reasons why fossils may create some confusion in regards to creating a phylogenic tree.
Lamarck	Did the organism change to the environment or did the environment change the organism in Lamarck’s theory and law? What was his theory? What was his law? What are some examples of his theory and law? What is an example of “an acquired characteristic”
Darwin
	What are Darwin’s six specific points? How did Darwin link “natural selection” to “artificial selection”? Why is struggle for existence linked to Malthus Why is Wallace linked to “survival of fittest”? In both Lamarck’s and Darwin’s theories, is the source of genetic variability discussed? Why not? Darwin’s ideas was based upon overpopulation and survival of the fittest, why?

Evolution in action	In the case study of English Peppered Moths, what is the source for change in colour of the moth? In the case study on amino acids and insects, how is biochemical indirect evidence linked to “degree of relatedness”?
	In the case study with mosquitos and DDT, some mosquitos developed resistance to DDT. How would Lamarck and Darwin explain this?
	If an animal “develops” a trait to catch prey, is this a proof of an acquired characteristic?
	Lamarck states some animals “develop” an acquired characteristic vs Darwin says “nature selects”. What is the difference in the role of environment on the organism for these two theories?
	In the case study of horses, what type of selection and rate of evolution is occurring? In the “Barbellus” lab, how is geological evidence linked to phylogenetic trees?
Definitions
	If an organism does not have “genetic potential” to adapt then the species becomes what? What does the term “assurance” mean? What does “fundamental” mean? What does “fluctuate” mean?
	What is directional selection? Example
	What is stabilizing selection? Example
	What is disruptive selection? Example
	What is an example of evidence that is not indirect evidence?
	What is the difference between convergence and coevolution?
	What is “speciation” and how is it linked to isolation mechanisms?
	How is speciation linked to adaptive radiation?
	How is adaptive radiation linked to divergence of a species?
	In an interbreeding population of organisms, what is a fertile offspring called? If two species interbreed and create nonfertile species, what are they called?
	If someone visited the Hawaiian Islands and noticed 10 species of butterflies while going from island to island, how could they explain the diversity of species by looking at Darwin’s evidence in the Galapagos Islands? What would be the role of isolation mechanisms, adaptive radiation, overpopulation, fitness of species and types of selections such as disruptive, stabilizing and directional selection.

Topic	Content
Intro	Adaption and law of super position Biology. 1. any alteration in the structure or function of an organism or any of its parts that results from natural selection and by which the organism becomes better fitted to survive and multiply in its environment. 2. a form or structure modified to fit a changed environment. 3. the ability of a species to survive in a particular ecological niche, especially because of alterations of form or behavior brought about through natural selection. 4. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/adaptation Note that this can be a change in behaviour as well as structure. The big take home point is the ability to adapt allow the species to reproduce. Law of superpostion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EadTLGMu3LI Take home..just like your laundry pile, oldest is on the bottom and youngest is on top.

	Your mission	Prior to cutting out each species, colour in what you feel are adaptations. Look at how structures could show a possible adaption. So what two primary environments? Note: Due to law of superposition, the youngest species has to be showing up last on your diagram. Propose “the story of barbellus” by looking at changes with structures with time. Consider the following: Which species became extinct and why? Which species may have moved to a new locations? How do species structure give you clues as to which environment they may have adapted to?

Bio 11 :

Outline to make a viable “resource” sheet for Bio 11

Take this information and put into a landscape format so you have more room to write down information.
Use both written and drawn diagrams to explain information.
Use colour coding to identify facts.
Always use an example to explain concepts in vocab.

Good luck!

What are three functions of DNA?	Include a copy of DNA drawing with labels
Evolution	Homologous structures are the result of what processes in evolution? What is a vestigial structure?
