Understandings:
5.1.U1: Evolution occurs when heritable characteristics of a species change.
5.1.U2: The fossil record provides evidence for evolution.
5.1.U3: Selective breeding of domesticated animals shows that artificial selection can cause evolution.
5.1.U4: Evolution of homologous structures by adaptive radiation explains similarities in structure when there are differences in function.
5.1.U5: Populations of a species can gradually diverge into separate species by evolution.
5.1.U6: Continuous variation across the geographical range of related populations matches the concept of gradual divergence.
Applications:
5.1.A1: Comparison of the pentadactyl limb of mammals, birds, amphibians and reptiles with different methods of locomotion.
5.1.A2: Development of melanistic insects in polluted areas.
Nature of Science:
5.1.NOS: Looking for patterns, trends and discrepancies- there are common features in the bone structure of vertebrate limbs despite their varied use.
