Unit 9: Evolution
Standards:
BIO 3.4.1 Explain how fossil, biochemical, and anatomical evidence support species over time.
BIO 3.4.2 Explain how natural selection influences the changes in species over time.
BIO 3.4.3 Explain how various disease agents (bacteria, viruses, chemicals) can influence natural selection.
Essential Questions:
- How did we acquire so many different organisms on planet Earth?
- How do gene frequencies change over time in populations?
- How do geographic isolation and reproductive isolation lead to the evolution of new species?
- What lines of evidence are there to support evolution?
- How did life on Earth begin? What were the characteristics of the 1st life forms?
- Are some responses learned or are they primarily instinctual?
- What controls the number of individuals in a population?
- How do communities interact? (Density-Dependent vs Density-Independent Interactions).
- Can we map ecosystems across the globe?
