Document Summary

Some key words organisms evolved similar characteristics as a result of exposure to similar environmental challenges [natural selection] Chapter 18: introduction to darwinian evolution (and selected historical figures) Objective 3: compare and contrast the ideas of darwin, lamarck, and wallace (knowledge/comprehension: darwin and lamarck (giraffe): Lamarck: use results in extension: offspring will have longer neck. Darwin: longer neck reaches higher leaves longer neck survives genetic drift toward favorable trait of a longer neck. Darwin and wallace - evolution occurs through natural selection. Objective 5: describe the modern synthesis and how it impacts views on evolution (knowledge/comprehension) Objective 6: explain the significance of chance vs natural selection on evolution (knowledge/comprehension) Objective 7: compare and contrast the various forms of evidence supporting evolution (e. g. fossil record, homology, homoplasy, vestigial structures, and molecular and development homologies (knowledge/comprehension) [also covered in chapter 23] Homolog, homoplasy, and molecular homologies read and also see chapter 18.
