Big Idea: Evolution is the result of many random processes selecting for the survival and reproduction of a population.
Miller Levine Biology Textbook Chapter 16 – Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
Chapter 16 Study Workbook & vocab review - all
Essential Question: How do we scientifically explain the evidence and mechanisms for biological evolution?
Concepts
A. Mutations alter a gene's genetic information, resulting in a change in the protein that is made, or how or when a cell makes that protein. Most mutations
are evolutionary neutral.
B. Evolution occurs when the gene frequency of alleles in a population shifts to confer survival and reproductive success.
C. The differential reproductive success of populations of organisms with advantageous traits is known as natural selection.
D. Speciation occurs when one population is isolated from another population. The isolation can be geological, reproductive, or
filling different ecological niches to reduce competition. With isolation comes changing environmental factors exerting selective
pressure on mutations and adaptations.
E. Common anatomical and/or genetic structures and behaviors demonstrate that species have evolved from common ancestor
F. The fossil record documents patterns of mass and background extinctions and the appearance of new species.
G. There are similarities and differences between fossils and living organisms.
H. Selective breeding and biotechnology contribute to the deliberate changing of the genetic makeup of a population.
