Think Turn Talk......
If the temperature of this room were to suddenly increase 10 degrees, what would your internal temperature be? What if the temperature dropped 5 degrees? Why?

In 5 words or less, what does evolution mean?



– The genetic makeup of a population of a species changes. 
– Evolution can occur through natural selection of adaptations. 
– Adaptations are beneficial inherited traits that are passed to future generations. 


Here is the section quiz for today's lesson. Complete it by Friday....Unifying Theme Quiz 1

If you missed today's class here are some quick notes....

The unifying themes of biology:

• Systems—Related parts interact to form a whole. Examples include cells that work together to perform a function; different organs that work together; different organisms that interact in an ecosystem.
• Structure and Function— Function is related to structure. Examples include cell structure and function; anatomical structure and function.
• Homeostasis— Stable internal conditions are maintained through automatic responses and through behavior. Examples include temperature regulation 
• Evolution— Gradual change in genetic makeup of a population of a species. Examples include adaptations in different environments resulting in different species.
