ü D.1.1 |
Describe four processes needed for the
spontaneous origin of life on Earth.
|
|
ü D.1.2 |
Outline the experiments of Miller and Urey
into the origin of organic compounds.
|
|
ü D.1.3 |
State that comets may have delivered organic
compounds to Earth.
|
|
ü D.1.4 |
Discuss possible locations where conditions
would have allowed the synthesis of organic
compounds.
|
|
ü D.1.5 |
Outline two properties of RNA that would
have allowed it to play a role in the origin
of life.
|
|
ü D.1.6 |
State that living cells may have been
preceded by protobionts, with an internal
chemical environment different
from their surroundings. Note:
Protobionts are things like coaceravates.
They are similar to cells, but are not
considered living because they do
not meet the characteristics of life
requirements.

ü D.2.3 |
Discuss the
definition of the term species.
|
|
ü D.2.4 |
Describe three examples of barriers between
gene pools.

|
Explain
how polyploidy can contribute to speciation.
|
|
ü D.2.6
|
Compare allopatric and sympatric speciation.
|
|
ü D.2.7 |
Compare
convergent and divergent evolution.
|
|
ü D.2.8 |
Outline
the process of adaptive radiation.
|
|
ü D.2.9 |
Discuss
ideas on the pace of evolution, including
gradualism and punctuated equilibrium
|
|
ü D.2.1 |
Define
allele frequency and gene pool.
|
|
ü D.4.1 |
Explain
how the Hardy–Weinberg equation is derived.
|
|
ü D.4.2 |
Calculate allele, genotype and phenotype
frequencies for two alleles of a gene, using
the Hardy–Weinberg
equation.
|
|
üD.4.3 |
State
the assumptions made when the Hardy–Weinberg
equation is used.
