This is a good link for evolutionary terms: https://www.ck12.org/book/CK-12-Biology-Concepts/section/11.2/ If you have: annelids, cheliceriforma, hexapoda, and crustacea Phylums are : annelids and arthropods (cheliceriforma, hexapoda, crustacea) -could talk about segmentation, exoskeleton, moulting, last common ancestor, chilicerae,    biramous  appendages. terrestial and aquatic, number of legs http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article//arthropods_02 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropod#Evolutionary_family_tree  go to "evolutionary family tree" and "classification" ---------------------------------------------------------- If you have: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda All four are their own phylums  -could talk about multicellularity, symmetry, tissues, body cavity, acoelomate, coelomate, germ layers Use evolutionary tree -  https://www.ck12.org/book/CK-12-Biology-Concepts/section/11.2/ \ -----------------...

Biology 11 - Evolution Test Friday

Don't forget about your test Friday afternoon! I'm available in the morning if you need to ask questions before the test. You may have a reference card to use during the test, as always. What to study: 1) Any questions in the booklet 2) These topics from lecture notes and class activities Describe the basic structure of DNA. Describe DNAs role in evolution. Describe the five agents of evolutionary change: mutation, genetic drift, gene flow, non-random mating, and natural selection Describe the 5 different types of evidence for evolution. What is a species and what is speciation? What is the difference between convergent and divergent evolution? Happy Studying
