Evolution

Standards   Discover how adaptations may occur as the result of an allele frequency increasing in a population’s gene pool over a number of generations  Explore how natural selection leads to the increased reproduction of individuals with favorable inheritable variations    Explain how the processes of meiosis and mutation enhance genetic variability in a population Explain how the processes of genetic mutation, natural selection, and adaptation leads to organisms well suited for survival in a particular environment Describe how Darwin ’s findings from his voyage supports the current body of evidence for evolution: fossil record, biogeography, anatomy (i.e., homologous structures, embryology) and molecular biology C Layer B/A Layer
