Answer the following question on a separate sheet on paper

    1. Include all major time divisions  by name and date
    2. Include major events only on your timeline.

 

  1. (Regular biology) From the mating game describe characteristics, skills and behaviors that animals demonstrate in order to ensure good sexual selection.

(Honors biology) Develop a hypothesis that supports  a set of data from the Flashy Fish activity you did in class.

 

  1. From the origin of species activity describe events that occurred over time that caused adaptive radiation of the Pollenpeeper.

 

  1. Draw an example of an evolutionary tree (Cladogram) of a small group of organism depicting their relatedness to each other based on derived and primitive traits.
    1. List your traits
