Evolution. It's important to know how organism change over time and recognize the diversity between species.

Microevolution

Change in allele

Macroevolution

+Time

Evolution doesn't occur in a short amount of time but rather over thousands of years. It's important for students to know the time period of a species changing and gaining new traits/functions.

Genetic drift

Important for students to connect this idea of species separating due to random chance and environment especially when looking at closely related species. They could also bring up information that they learned from geography class.

Gene flow

Student's need to know that genes are passed on to the next generation. it ties back to the "survival of the fittest" theory that Darwin brings up.

Mutation

Change

New Species

Population Genetics

Allele Frequency

Genotype is the back bone of how organisms will act and look. It's important to tie back to their understand of DNA when mentioning this topic as it is the

Phenotype is important to note that it varies depending on the genes and how it shows on the individuals

Gene Pool

Gene Flow: create genetic diversity

Hardy-Weinberg populations allele frequency and genotype remains constant when put in a constant environment.(When there is no change)

Misconceptions

Species choose to evolve, rather than due to the fact of environmental factors and successful reproduction.

Natural selection is an all-powerful force and it produces perfection. Many students also

Evolution as a grand progressive ladder vs evolution as a tree.

Impact on Society/Technology

Provides a solid scientific framework for understanding the emergence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria and for analyzing the emergence and epidemiology of novel diseases, such as HIV.

Advances in developmental morphology

Initiatives to deepen knowledge of the genetic basis of complex characters.

BioDiversity

Two Types of Cells: Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes. Important for when learning about their reproduction.

Taxonomy: important to know what categories organisms are put under and how they are all connected.

six kingdoms

Darwins Theory

It's important to know about the history of Charles Darwin and how widely accepted his theory of Natural Selection as it is a concrete basic concept that stemmed the foundations of evolution and the idea of evolving from a common ancestor.

Galapagoes island

Finches it introduced the topic of change over time and a rise of new species.

Main topic

Natural Selection

"Survival of the fittest." Species are only considered fit if they have adapted to live long enough to produce strong and viable offspring to pass on their genes to the next generation.

It causes new species to occur and creates more diveristy

Is important because a organism changes to best suit their environment and due to random chance.

Adaptation
