Evolution


 * SB6. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to assess the theory of evolution.**


 * a.** Construct an explanation of how new understandings of Earth’s history, the emergence of new species from pre-existing species, and our understanding of genetics have influenced our understanding of biology.
 * b.** Analyze and interpret data to explain patterns in biodiversity that result from speciation.
 * c.** Construct an argument using valid and reliable sources to support the claim that evidence from comparative morphology (analogous vs. homologous structures), embryology, biochemistry (protein sequence) and genetics support the theory that all living organisms are related by way of common descent.
 * d.** Develop and use mathematical models to support explanations of how undirected genetic changes in natural selection and genetic drift have led to changes in populations of organisms. (Clarification statement: Element is intended to focus on basic statistical and graphic analysis. Hardy Weinberg would be an optional application to address this element.)
 * e.** Develop a model to explain the role natural selection plays in causing biological resistance (e.g., pesticides, antibiotic resistance, and influenza vaccines).

LEARNING TARGETS
 * 1) I can explain different models of the origin of life.
 * 2) I can construct a model to explain the evolution of a Eukaryotic Cell from a prokaryotic cell.
 * 3) I can explain the history of life in terms of biodiversity, ancestry, and the rates of evolution.
 * 4)  I can e xplain how fossil and biochemical evidence support the theory of evolution.
 * 5) I can relate natural selection to changes in organisms.
 * 6) I can determine the role of evolution to biological resistance in terms of pesticide and antibiotic resistance.
