We will not be using warm up folders today, but we will be using the following article for our warm up. Click here to open the article on the Florida Panthers. On a seperate sheet of paper you will answer the following questions. This will be turned in today, as an assignment grade. 1.Describe genetic variation. 2.What are the short term and long term impacts of low genetic variation on a population. Create a T chart to show this evidence. 3.Paragraph 1 and paragraph 4 use the phrase “new blood”. Explain the meaning of “new blood” and the effect of new blood on the Panther population. 4.Using evidence from the text, explain why genetic variation is important for species survival. 5.This article was written over 6 years ago (December 2010). Do you still think this article is important? Explain your response. Next, we took notes on Homologous and Analogous Structures on page 58. If you were absent today, here are the notes. Finally, we did a round the room activity going through 9 stations on evolution. These stations reviewed Geological Evolution (Pangaea, continental drift) and Biological Evolution(natural selection, genetic variation) Quiz next class will cover
