Types of Evolution Worksheets

Evolution from Sea to Land
        Types of evolution worksheets are designed for high school, middle school, and elementary school life science teachers. Types of evolution include artificial selection worksheets, gene flow labs, and bottleneck effect experiments.

    Students are introduced to vocabulary about the different types of evolution (different types of selection, genetic drift, allele frequencies), and they use that vocabulary to answer evolution questions.

Types of Evolution Concepts

  • Artificial Selection - humans are involved in selecting the surviving / reproducing organisms.
  • Natural Selection - environment selects which traits are advantagous for survival and reproduction.
  • Sexual Selection - increase reproductive success.
  • Directional Selection - one extreme phenotype thrives.
  • Stabilizing Selection - intermediate phenotypes thrive, both extreme phenotypes die off.
  • Disruptive Selection - both extreme phenotypes thrive, intermediate phenotypes die off.
  • Genetic Drift - founder effect, bottleneck effect.
  • Gene Flow - migration, mating between different populations.
