BIO 101        OBJECTIVES        LAB QUIZ #6

EVOLUTION AND RIVERBANKS ZOO PROJECT

The student will define

· evolution

· species

· population

· fossils

The student will explain the types of data that support the hypothesis of common desent:

· Fossil record

· Comparative anatomy

· Biochemical comparisons

Fossil Record as evidence of evolution

The student will describe the geological time scale

· Era-know each in order of oldest to most recent

· Period

· Epoch

The student will be able to interpret and answer questions using a geological history chart.  Refer to lab manual for specific examples.

Comparative Anatomy as evidence of evolution

The student will know the taxonomical classification system, and understand how you would classify based on similarities:

· Domain:   Archae, Bacteria, Eukarya

· Kingdom

· Archae domain:   Archeabacteria

· Bacteria domain:  Eubacteria

· Eukaryote domain:  Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia

· Phylum (division for plants)

· Class

· Order

· Family

· Genus

· Species

The student will be able to identify the genus and species of an organism if given a binominal name.

The student will be able to define and recognize specific examples of:

· Homologous structures

· Analogous structures

The student will be able to compare two species and determine at which taxonomy level the diverge (as on page 190).

The student will be able to compare limb forearms of different species as seen in lab based on the following features:

·  Humerus

·  Ulna

·  Radius

·  Carpals

·  Metacarpals

·  Phalanges

The student will be able to compare monkey and human skulls and skeletons.  The student will recognize the similarities between the pig and chick embryos.

Biochemical evidence of evolution

If given a list of amino acid differences in a specific protein, the student will be able to identify the most/least similar organisms.

The student will understand how and antigen/antibody test could be used to distinguish the similarities/differences regarding a particular protein.

Human Evolution

The student will be able to recognize the human skull and ape skull and define or identify how the following features are used to distinguish the skulls:

·  Prognathism

·  Brow ridge

·  Eye sockets

·  Sagittal crest

·  Foramen magnum location

·  Teeth —canines and incisors (shape)

·  Canine diastema

·  Chin

The student will describe the fossils found leading up to modern humans and give an approximate age of each:

·  Australopithecus boises

·  Homo erectus

·  Neanderthal Man and Cro-magnum

·  Homo sapiens

Additional lab activities:

The student will define

·  Mutations

·  Natural selection

·  Hardy-Weinberg Principle

The student will describe the Volvocine line and be able to recognize each of the following in order from the most primitive to the evolutionary end Chiamydomonas Gonium Pandorina Eudonna Volvox

The student will turn in the completed Riverbanks Zoo field study and/or report.
