ASSIGNMENT FOR MONDAY

  • don't skip p. 39.
  • NATURAL SELECTION, textbook pp. 39-56;
  • p. 72  #2-7     FIGS:   2.3
  •

  •  

ASSIGNMENT FOR WEDNESDAY

  • Review the figures and textbook assignments above.  For the upcoming critter assignments, natural selection is more important than speciation (although the quiz will include speciation and the textbook pages below).
    • SPECIATION, textbook pages 57-62 and 67-72 and be prepared to answer # 1,8, 9, 10
    • CLIMATIC CHANGE, textbook pp. 62-5; and consider about how the future might compare with the past---- CONTINENTAL DRIFT, pp. 65-68
  • Begin to prepare a short presentation on your critter's evolution for Friday's class.
