Essential Questions:
|
Evolution Unit Investigations
Investigation 2: Mathematical Modeling – Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
How can mathematical models be used to investigate the relationship between allele frequencies in populations of organisms and evolutionary change? |
Investigation 1: Artificial Selection
Can extreme selection change expression of a quantitative trait in a population in one generation? Investigation 3: Comparing DNA Sequences to Understand Evolutionary Relationships with BLAST How can bioinformatics be used as a tool to determine evolutionary relationships and to better understand genetic diseases?
