ACTIVITY SHEETS IN GENERAL BIOLOGY 2 GRADE

11/12
QUARTER 3, WEEK 3

MELC: The learners shall be able to:

1. show patterns of descent with modification from common
ancestors to produce the organismal diversity observed today.
 K to 12 BEC CG: STEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-10
2. Trace the development of evolutionary thought.
 K to 12 BEC CG: STEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-11

Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the learners will be able to:
1. Identify the different isolating mechanisms and the modes of speciation.
2. Cite and describe the contributions of Jean Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin
theory.
3. Discuss Neo-Darwinian Theory of evolution.

terminologies. Select the answer from the terms below for items 1-5, and the next
box for items 6-10.

_________________1. Two species of turtle live in the same region but one lives in water and the
other on land.
_________________2. Two species of maya with different mating songs.
_________________3. Two species of fish that breed in different seasons.
_________________4. Mule is the sterile offspring of a horse and a donkey.
_________________5. Two species of flower blooms at different months.

Allopatric Speciation Sympatric Speciation Parapatric Speciation

_________________6. The hemp nettle, Galeopsis tetrahit is a tetraploid found to thrive in the
same area as two other diploids species, Galeopsis pubescens and Galeopsis speciosa.
_________________7. The Panama porkfish, Anisotremus taeniatus, found in the Pacific Ocean
is morphologically similar to the porkfish, Anisotremus virginiacus, found in the Caribbean Sea
are separated by a land bridge between North and South America called the Isthmus of Panama.
_________________8. The Siberian lesser black-backed gull, lesser black-backed gull and herring
gull are all found in the Arctic region. The lesser black-backed gull interbreeds with the Siberian
lesser black-backed gull but not with the herring gull.

Title of the Activity: The New Evolution Theory

Most Essential Learning Competency: The learners shall be able to trace the
development of evolutionary thought.

K to 12 BEC CG: STEM_BIO11/12-IIIc-g-11

Directions: Write an essay discussing the Neo-Darwinian Theory or Modern

Synthesis which is a unified theory of evolution. Include also the contribution of
Mendelian Genetics, Birth of Population Genetics, and data from biogeography,
comparative morphology, paleontology and taxonomy to support Darwin’s idea
about evolution.
