Evolution Study Resources
Unit Outcomes
- Explain how natural selection can impact allele frequencies of a population
- describe the factors that can contribute to the development of new species (isolating mechanisms, genetic drift, founder effect, migration)
- Explain how genetic mutations may result in genotypic and phenotypic variations within a population
- Interpret evidence supporting the theory of evolution (fossil, anatomical, physiological, embryological, biochemical, and universal genetic code)
- Distinguish between the scientific terms: hypothesis, inference, law, theory, principle, fact, and observation
