Unit 2 Review - Speciation

Paul Andersen reviews the major concepts within the second unit of the new AP Biology framework. He starts by describing how life is organized into three domains. He explains how the history of life on the planet is characterized by mass extinctions followed by adaptive radiation. He explains how geographic, behavioral, temporal and mechanical isolation can create new species. He also explains how microevolution within a population can explain. He ends the podcast by describing abiogenesis and mentioning the major milestones in the evolution of life on the planet.

Does the new curriculum follow the same Campbell, Reece textbook? Plz thumbs up so he can answer this.

@htcjunkie16 The new framework won't affect students taking the AP test this year. It is being added next year at the national level. I am going to use the same textbook but it will require me to jump around quite a bit. Hope that helps.

Hi

im sitting an exam on Animal evolution and biodiversity this Thurs and you have been so helpful. Thankyou.

@bozemanbiology Ok, I will be taking AP Biology next year, so the same Campbell (56 Chapters) book will be fine?

Mr Anderson,

I had to review this several times to make sure I heard you correctly.

It almost sounded like you were saying that the Urey-Miller experiment created nucleotides.

After the few times reviewing, I realize that is not what you said, but, for the sake of your students and creationist trolls, you may want to revise your verbiage.

Another amazing video, BTW.

Thanks for another helpful video Mr. Anderson! This is defiantly helping me review for my test on Friday!
