Biology STAAR Review Stations

Day 6
Category # 3 Biological Evolution and Classification (7.A, 7.B, 7.C, 7.D)
7.A analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is
provided by the fossil record biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical,
molecular, and developmental
7.B analyze and evaluate scientific explanations concerning any data of sudden
appearance, stasis, and sequential nature of groups in the fossil record
7.C analyze and evaluate how natural selection produces change in populations, not
individuals
7.D analyze and evaluate how the elements of natural selection, including inherited
variation, the potential of a population to produce more offspring than can survive,
and a finite supply of environmental resources, result in differential reproductive
success
