Topic 5.4 - Evolution

Per Angelika's request, here is the evolution PowerPoint we have been working from.  I did not create this wonderful presentation.  It comes from Stephen Taylor.

Homework: Due Wednesday:  
On the syllabus for 5.4.8, it says "Explain two examples of evolution in response to environmental change; one must be antibiotic resistance in  bacteria. "

Your job is to find information on another example of evolution in response to environmental change.  You should be prepared to share with the class a brief summary that includes: what organism was affected, what caused the change, and what the change was. 

Below are some ideas to get you started:
* The changes in size and shape of the beaks of Galapagos finches;

*Pesticide resistance in crops

* Industrial melanism or heavy- metal tolerance in plants.
