7A - Common Ancestry evidence(Fossil Record, Biogeography, and Homology)

7E - Natural Selection and Adaptations

8B - Classification and Taxonomy(DKPCOFGS)

7A - Common Ancestry evidence

analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental

We will go over these 2 questions in about 4 minutes.

7E - Natural Selection and Adaptations

analyze and evaluate the relationship of natural selection to adaptation and to the development of diversity in and among species

What is natural selection?

Survival of the fittest.

Survive long enough to pass your genes off to the next generation.

Who evolves?

Populations evolve. Individuals do not evolve

8B- define taxonomy and recognize the importance of a standardized

taxonomic system to the scientific community

Part 1 - Define Taxonomy and Why is it important to have a standard?

Part 1 - Taxonomy = Classification

the branch of science concerned with classification

How do you remember the order of classification? (From Broadest to Specific)

-Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species

- Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Spain.

Why is it important to have a standard naming system?

-To avoid confusion

- So everyone knows what organism is being discussed

**(Think of translating languages.)**

Scientific Naming System is a Binomial Nomenclature.

--> Genus and species
