1. Cells are the basic unit of life. 2. Genes are the basic units for passing traits from parent to offspring. 3. Evolution by natural selection is the process that has led to the great diversity of species on Earth. 4. Living things maintain the environment within their cells and bodies. 5. Living things have the ability to acquire and transform energy.

1. Design a cell/a system of cells using the following to show explicitly. Respiratory system, Energy generation, Forming tissue, and Maintaining order. 2. Sketch and/or design cellular systems to identify the basic features of life. Please show each feature using arrows to point that out in the drawing. 3. Give details on how your body structure resembles with your grandfather. Please use the understanding from DNA and/or RNA structure. 4. From your understanding sketch and explain how the evolution affected Dodo and completely got them towards extinction.
3. We discussed seven points regarding the attributes of life. What are the 7 points and how do they relate to you? 1. Biological Order 2. Reproduction 3. Growth and Development 4. Energy Processing & Utilization (metabolism) 5. Respond to Environmental Stimuli 6. Regulation (Homeostasis) 7. Evolutionary Adaptations
22) if organisms evolve, it's because of natural selection True or False 23)
1. Why is there a need to classify the great diversity and life? 2. How do you explain evolution to people who believe that it is just a theory?
1. What is true of natural selection? The only way to eliminate harmful mutations is through natural selection. Mutations occur at random; natural selection can preserve and distribute beneficial mutations. Natural selection creates beneficial mutations. Natural selection is a random process. All changes saved
Choose one of the misconceptions and explain the misconception and how discuss how your understanding on this misconception has developed over time. 1. "Scientific understand is unchanging." 2. “All mutations have an impact on the organism.” 3. “Natural selection involves organisms trying to adapt.” 4. “Adaptations are a result of competition.” 5. “There are more consumers than producers.” 6. "People look more like one parent than the other because they get more DNA from that parent."
1. We have sent two objects into distinct space with information meant to be found by an extraterrestrial intelligence, the Pioneer Plaque and the Voyager Golden Record. Pick one of these objects and describe three things included. 2. In class we discussed the emergence of intelligent life on Earth. Why might or might not this be considered an evolutionary advantage? 3. In biological terms, what is the definition of a species?
10. Many traits seen in organisms are wildly inefficient and prone to malfunction or injury. Why does this finding support the idea of evolution rather than an omnipotent designer? What would we expect for these traits in the intelligent design model? 11. Ants and termites both have highly complex social colonies with queens, workers, and soldiers. Ants evolved from wasps while termites evolved from cockroaches. In this context, are ants vs termites an example of convergent or parallel evolution? How do you know?
1)Provide a scientific example of evolution and/or natural selection. You can use human and/or animal examples.2) Describe how the animal/species developed an advantage over time or what the evolutionary process was.3) Give a source for where you located your information.
What Have I Learned So Far? Write True if the statement is true. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Charles Darwin coined the term “survival of the fittest." Fossils can be used in determining the remains of ancient organisms. 2. 3. Geology is the study of the distribution of plants and animals on Earth. 4. Lamarck proposed the theory of use and disuse. 5. Genetic mutation accounts for evidence of evolution. 6. The theory of acquired characteristics is the concept of Wallace. 7. Vestigial organs are structures that have a particular use before but have no particular purpose for existing animals. 8. The similarities of the embryos of vertebrates indicate a common ancestral domain among them. Biochemical evidence does not provide a solid proof of evolution. 9. 10. Anatomy of animals can be used as evidence of evolution Biodiversity and Systematics: Evolutionary Relationships 179
