What students need to be able to do

  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about the effect of evolutionary factors that lead to genetic variation within and among populations.
  • Predict genotypes in a population from observed phenotypes using the Hardy-Weinberg principle.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about why Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium rarely occurs.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how the genetic composition of populations is the result of natural processes.
  • Make, support, and evaluate a claim about how genetic makeup can be used to classify organisms.
