following Chap. 12 key terms:
1) radiometric dating

d) reproduction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quiz Review over Chap. 15 Section 2 "How Populations Evolve":
4th period's quiz will be on Mon. (Feb. 13) and 6th & 7th period's quiz will
be on Tues. (Feb. 14).
You need to review the following:
1) equation for calculating allelic frequencies: p + q = 1 (p = variable for
the common allele (or gene)--A, q = variable for the rarest allele (or
gene)--a
2) equation for calculating genotypic frequencies: p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1 (p2 =
frequency of homozygous dominant (AA); 2pq = frequency of heterozygous (Aa)
and q2 = frequency of homozygous recessive (aa)
3) The Hardy-Weinberg principle states that if five conditions are met within
a population: 1) NO natural selection, 2) NO mutations, 3) random mating
4) NO genetic drift and 5) NO gene flow then the population will not
evolve. If the 5 conditions are met then THE ALLELIC FREQUENCIES (for
example: A and a) WILL STAY THE SAME over time and the population will not
evolve.
4) You will have one Hardy-Weinberg math problem in which you will have to
solve for each allelic frequency (p=A and q=a) and you will have to find
the genotypic frequencies (p2=AA, 2pq=Aa, q2=aa)
5) You need to know the descriptions of the five evolutionary forces:
a) mutations (change from one allele to another, e.g. "A" changing into "a"
b) gene flow (individuals from one population migrating into another
population; no immigration or emigration)
c) nonrandom mating (one sex choosing another sex based on certain
phenotypes; female bird selecting a male bird based on the coloration of
his plummage)
d) genetic drift (random change in gene frequencies in a population due to
human disturbances, natural disasters, and etc.; example: elephant
population consisted of tusk elephants and tuskless elephants, poachers
attacked and killed more tusk elephants than tuskless, now there are
only tuskless animals; the original gene frequencies was balanced
between tusk and tuskless elephants, now the gene pool of the
population has mostly tuskless elephants)
e) natural selection (occurs when one phenotype is selected more than
another in a population; example: light and dark feathered ducks, light
feathered ducks are not able to camouflage with their surroundings so
a predator (wolf?) will attack more light-feathered ducks than the
dark-feathered ones, the dark gene will increase while the light gene
will decrease).

"Evolution and Taxonomy" Unit Test Review:
4th period will have their test on Wed. Feb. 22 and 6th and 7th periods will
have their test on Tues. Feb. 21. The test will have approximately 42
multiple-choice questions.
The following chapters will be on the test:
Chap. 13 "Theory of Evolution"
Chap. 14 "Classification of Organisms"
Chap. 15 "Populations -- the test will only cover Section 2"
Chap. 19 "Introduction to Kingdoms of Life -- the test will only cover Section 1"
Chap. 13 Theory of Evolution
-- Study the vocabulary words you defined for Chap. 13
-- Review the "Factors in Natural Selection" section on page 288
-- Darwin's finches (Figure 3, page 278) descended from a common ancestor
found on the continent of S. America; the finches had different beak
shapes because they adapted to different environments.
Chap. 14 Classification of Organisms
-- Study the vocabulary words you defined for Chap. 14
-- Review the correct classification scheme for the different taxonomic levels
Domain --> Kingdom --> Phylum --> Class --> Order --> Family --> Genus -->
Species
Did King Phillip Come Over For Good Spaghetti?
-- Review the correct way for writing the scientific name for an organism:
The scientific name can be written in an italicized format or both the
genus and species names have to be underlined
-- Be able to distinguish between convergent and divergent evolution
Chap. 15 Populations
-- Review Section 2: How Populations Evolve (pages 326-332)
Review the five evolutionary forces that could cause a population's allele
frequencies (dominant and recessive alleles) to change over time:
1) mutations
2) natural selection
3) nonrandom mating
4) genetic drift
5) gene flow
-- Be able to solve for the allele frequencies by using "p+q=1" and solved for
"p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1" for genotypic frequenices. These two equations can only
be used if the population has satisfied the five conditions.
Chap. 19 Intro. to Kingdoms of Life
-- Study Table 1: Kingdom and Domain Characteristics on page 417
For each kingdom (Plantae, Animalia, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Fungi,
Protista), be able to identify what domain they belong to, cell type (
prokaryotic or eukaryotic), cell structure (presence or absence of cell
wall, and what the cell wall is made of? cellulose, chitin, or
peptidoglycan, and nutrition (autotroph or heterotroph)

You need to study the definitions and locations of the following flower parts:
(Use page 538 Figure 9 (Basic flower structure) to help you in preparing for
the quiz.)

Review the differences between monocot and dicot angiosperm plants.(page 515
-- shows the characteristics of monocots and dicots).
Monocots -- petals occur in multiples of 3, have parallel venation, and
produce fibrous roots (e.g. grass family, lily family, and irises)
Dicots -- petals occur in multiples of 2, 4, or 5, have branching (or net --
venation), and produce taproots (e.g. carrot plants, radish plants)
