Natural selection gizmo - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

Student Exploration: Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium Vocabulary: allele, genotype, Hardy-Weinberg equation, Hardy-Weinberg principle, heterozygous, homozygous, Punnett square Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) Suppose the feather color of a bird is controlled by two alleles, D and d. The D allele results in dark feathers, while the d allele results in lighter feathers. 1. Suppose two Dd birds mate. What percentages of DD, Dd, and dd offspring would you predict? Use th...

Exam (elaborations) GIZMOS Student Exploration Natural Selection 1 Brandon Trigg Student Exploration: Natural Selection Vocabulary: biological evolution, camouflage, Industrial Revolution, lichen, morph, natural selection, peppered moth Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) The peppered moth (Biston betularia) is a common moth found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is commonly found in two forms, or morphs: a dark morph and a light, speckled morph. Birds are...

The peppered moth (Biston betularia) is a common moth found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is commonly found in two forms, or morphs: a dark morph and a light, speckled morph. Birds are a frequent predator of the peppered moth. 1. Which morph do you think wou...

Exam (elaborations) GIZMOS Rainfall and Beaks gizmo Student Exploration: Rainfall and Bird Beaks Vocabulary: adaptation, beak depth, directional selection, drought, evolution, natural selection, range, stabilizing selection Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.) During the voyage of the HMS Beagle (1831–1836), the young Charles Darwin collected several species of finches from the Galápagos Islands. Two of Darwin’s finches are shown below. 1. Which species do yo...
