\SCI.9-12.B-5.1 - [Indicator] - Summarize the process of natural selection.
*Darwin’s 5 points • Population has variations. • Some variations are favorable. • More offspring are produced than survive • Those that survive have favorable traits. • A population will change over time.
*Evidence of Evolution 1. Biogeography: Geographical distribution of species. EX. Most marsupials live in Australia. 2. Fossil Record: Fossils and the order in which they appear in layers of sedimentary rock tells us the order that they appeared on earth (strongest evidence).
*Evidence of Evolution 3. Taxonomy: Classification of life forms. 4. Anatomy: • Structures that are similar because of common ancestry (comparative anatomy) • Vestigial structures (remnant or leftover) structures that now have no function (human appendix)
SCI.9-12.B-5.5 - [Indicator] - Exemplify scientific evidence in the fields of anatomy, embryology, biochemistry, and paleontology that underlies the theory of biological evolution.
*Evidence of Evolution 5. Comparative embryology: During the early development of organisms very similar structures appear in different organisms. Ex. At one point, humans have gill slits and webbed fingers. 6. Molecular biology: DNA and proteins (amino acids) cow insulin was once used to treat humans with diabetics

Number of Individuals Small Large Size of individuals Modes of Action • Natural selection has three modes of action: 1. Stabilizing selection 2. Directional selection 3. Diversifying selection
Number of Individuals Small Large Size of individuals 1. Stabilizing Selection • Acts upon extremes and favors the intermediate.
Number of Individuals Small Large Size of individuals 2. Directional Selection • Favors variants of one extreme.
Number of Individuals Small Large Size of individuals 3. Diversifying Selection • Favors variants of opposite extremes.
