Outcomes
- Describe and discuss the interrelationships which exist within and between populations, communities and ecosystems; examine human impact on the environment and assess ecological effects.
- Identify examples and explain why evolution is relevant to real-world problems; identify and explain mechanisms of evolution within and between populations by exploring how mutation, natural selection, migration, and genetic drift produce evolutionary change; identify and describe the major evolutionary events related to history of life on Earth; and identify and discuss evidence of evolution.
- Interpret and discuss evolutionary relationships depicted in phylogenies; explain the relationship of phylogeny to taxonomy; and examine the role of evolution as the major unifying theme of biology; describe and discuss the evolutionary history of biological diversity between and within the domains Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya.
