Document Summary
Biology & evolution reading: section 1. 2 in textbook & uc. Berkeley website: list the three domains into which all living organisms are currently classified. Correctly place living organisms that you know of into the correct domain. Eukaryota: basal protists, flagellates, chromists, plants, alveolates, animals, fungi, and rhodophytes: define biological evolution and explain two examples where it has been observed. (http://evolution. berkeley. edu/evolibrary/search/topics. php?topic_id=20) Biological evolution is defined as any genetic change in a population that is inherited over several generations. Descent with modification (ex. the monterey pine and the adaptation of penguins: describe darwin s theory of natural selection, including what it requires and how it works. (http://evolution. berkeley. edu/evolibrary/article/evo_25) Natural selection is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits. Some traits are favored more in the environment than others. Over generations the species can change in small ways, which allows it to be better equipped to survive.
