Know:
The 3 Domains and 5 Kingdoms know this Classification system (the order from general to specific)
What are the Galapagos finches an example of? How did they evolve? Where did the common ancestor first appear?
What was Stanley Miller’s equipment and what did it prove
What is a molecular clock? What did molecular clocks show about HIV?
What does mass extinction do for a speciation? About how long will it take for species diversity to recover?
In the Earth’s history, when did humans show up?

What is radiometric dating? How long is carbon 14 half-life? How old are fossils that use carbon 14 for dating?
Why was it good that oxygen was not present in earth’s early atmosphere?
What and when were the earliest fossils? When was the earliest eukaryotic fossils? Multicellular? Plant, fungi and animals?
What is parsimony?

Shared ancestral characteristics and shared derived characteristics
What caused the mass extinction during the Cretaceous period?
What is an ingroup and outgroup in a phylogentic analysis?
How many mass extinctions has there been and how many species at each became extinct?
What is micro and macroevolution?

Polyploid – how do plants get like this?
What is the average time for speciation events?
There will also be a Hardy-Weinberg problem or two. Yes, you will see these until everyone gets them right!
