Full Description
This exam focuses on the theoretical frameworks surrounding biological evolution, emphasizing mechanisms such as natural selection and genetic drift. Key concepts include the origin of species and adaptive radiation.
Understanding biological evolution is critical for comprehending human genetic diversity and the evolutionary relationships among populations. This knowledge is pivotal in fields such as public health, conservation biology, and social science.
The exam will assess verbal understanding of evolution-related concepts, critical thinking in applying evolutionary theory, and the articulation of complex relationships among genetic variation and human adaptation.
Candidates are encouraged to utilize specific examples from various populations to substantiate their verbal presentations during the assessment.
Sample Questions
- What are the primary mechanisms of evolution that influence human genetic diversity?
- How does natural selection contribute to the adaptation of human populations?
