Evolution Today
How can you demonstrate the evolution of a current day animal to help others understand the concept of evolution?
Unit Documents
TEKSB.7.A analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental (R)
B.7.B analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden appearance, stasis, and sequential nature of groups in the fossil record (S) B.7.C analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals (S) B.7.D analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproduction (S) B.7.E analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species (R) B.7.F analyze and evaluate the effects of other evolutionary mechanisms, including genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and recombination (S) B.7.G analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning the complexity of the cell (S) Labs & Activities |
