Warm-up. 1) What is the central dogma? 2) Put the following steps of protein synthesis in order. ___ Polypeptides (proteins) are formed as ribosomes move along the messenger RNA strand. DNA molecules serve as templates for making messenger RNA molecules.

Warm-up 1) What is the central dogma? 2) Put the following steps of protein synthesis in order. ___ Polypeptides (proteins) are formed as ribosomes move along the messenger RNA strand. DNA molecules serve as templates for making messenger RNA molecules. Transfer RNA molecules bring amino acids to ribosome. Messenger RNA molecules move to the ribosome. 3) List as many factors as you can that make a protein different from another protein
Evolution:Science Department Unit Review#1-42Science Standards: 7a-d, 8a-e Charles Darwin
History of the Earth (8e) 1. What is a fossil?
History of the Earth (8e) 1. What is a fossil? • remains of ancient life
2. What is the fossil record? • all the information about past life
3. What is macroevolution? Give an example. • evolution over long periods of time (millions of years) • ex Fossil Record
4. What is microevolution? • all of the small changes in genes that happen in a few generations • ex Light and Dark Moths, England
5. What are the four Geologic Eras (in order oldest – recent)?
5. What are the four Geologic Eras (in order oldest – recent)? • Most Recent • Oldest
6. Which era was the longest? • Precambrian
7. Which era are we currently in? • Cenozoic
8. Label the eras below. A. B. C.
8. Label the eras below. Mesozoic A. Paleozoic B. Precambrian C.
9. What is a mass extinction? • a large number of unrelated species quickly die
10. Why did life continue to exist on Earth after each mass extinction?
10. Why did life continue to exist on Earth after each mass extinction? • new habitats and resources were available to them
11. Is there more or less diversity before a mass extinction?
11. Is there more or less diversity before a mass extinction? • More!!
Natural Selection (8a) 12. Define natural selection:
Natural Selection (8a) 12. Define natural selection: • how individuals who are better suited to survive and reproduce successfully in their environment
13. What happens to organisms that are NOT well suited to their environments?
13. What happens to organisms that are NOT well suited to their environments? • die or adapt
14. What does “survival of the fittest” mean? • organisms with high levels of fitness (ability to survive, reproduce, and adapt)
15. Give one example of how natural selection occurs: • Darwin’s Finches:Finches in the Galápagos Islands have beaks adapted to eat the foods available in the birds’ habitats.
Diversity of Species (7c, 7d, 8b) 16. Define Species:
Diversity of Species (7c, 7d, 8b) 16. Define Species: • a group of similar organisms that can breed and produce fertile offspring
17. Define Diversity: • a variety of something such as animals or plants • (Pond A has more diversity)
18. Populations with (more or less) diversity are more likely to survive.
18. Populations with (more or less) diversity are more likely to survive. • MORE
19. Does asexual reproduction increase or decrease diversity?
19. Does asexual reproduction increase or decrease diversity? • DECREASE • Because (like cloning) all of its offspring would be the same.
20. What is a mutation? • is any change in a DNA sequence
21. Are mutations always harmful? Do they always have some effect? • Most mutations are harmless, and some are helpful
22. Do mutations increase or decrease diversity in a population?
22. Do mutations increase or decrease diversity in a population? • INCREASE
23. Which group in the diagram has the most biodiversity during the Cretaceous period? the Quaternary Period?
23. Which group in the diagram has the most biodiversity during the Cretaceous period? the Quaternary Period? • Lizards and Lizards • How? Look at the WIDEST band
24. Which of the ponds below has more diversity? Which has a higher chance of survival? • Pond A contains 100 organisms - 30 algae, 15 frogs, 10 cattails, 5 ducks, 5 geese, 20 guppies, 13 bass, and 2 alligators. • Pond B contains 100 organisms – 50 algae, 25 geese, 20 bass, and 5 alligators.
24. Which of the ponds below has more diversity? Which has a higher chance of survival? • Pond A --because contains 8 types of organisms • Pond A --because contains 4 types of organisms • Pond A contains 100 organisms - 30 algae, 15 frogs, 10 cattails, 5 ducks, 5 geese, 20 guppies, 13 bass, and 2 alligators. • Pond B contains 100 organisms – 50 algae, 25 geese, 20 bass, and 5 alligators.
Genetics and Natural Selection (7a, 7b) 25. Does natural selection work directly on phenotypes or genotypes of an individual?
