BIOLOGY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGENDA:

– Objectives: SWBAT explain evolution as genetic change and how this kind of change leads to formation of new species

– Warm-up: Why do you suppose species change? Do small genotypic and phenotypic differences (natural variations) appearing in some members of a population guarantee that this species as a whole is going to change in character (evolve)? Explain why or why not. [10]

– Review of polygenic traits and types of selection [10]

– Darwin’s Dangerous Idea continued [20]

– Sources of Genetic Change: Meiosis, Drift, Gene Flow [40]

– Speciation [10] (Show Natural Selection Puzzle Stamp)

– Turn in Genetics Unit stamp log ASAP--DUE LAST WEEK

HOMEWORK:

– Read section 16-3, answer ALL section assessment on p. 410
