This review tool for the STAAR EOC Biology exam. There is a differentiated version and it can be used as a booklet. This review covers all readiness and supporting TEKS for Bio 9 and 10: Evolution
Bio 9: Evidence for Evolution
TEKS B.9 included and clearly outlined:
3 pages- B.9 (A) Analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular and development.
1 page- B.9 (B) Examine scientific explanations for varying rates of change such as gradualism, abrupt appearance, and stasis in the fossil record.
Bio 10: Mechanisms of Evolution
TEKS B.10 included and clearly outlined:
2 pages- B.10 (A) Analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not individuals
2 pages- B.10 (B) Analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited variation, the potential to produce more offspring than can survive, and a finite supply of resources, result in differential reproductive success.
2 pages- B.10 (C)- Analyze and evaluate how natural selection may lead to speciation
1 pages- B.10 (D) Analyze evolutionary mechanisms other than natural selection, including genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, and genetic recombination, and their effect on the gene pool of a population.
11 student pages with optional cover page for packets.
An alternate version is available that has guided answers.
Answer key is included.
