AP: Chapter 24: The Origin of Species

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

AP biology buffs define vocabulary terms and answer critical-thinking questions about evolutionary trends. They compare macroevolution to microevolution, differentiate ploidy possibilities, explain isolation barriers, and more. Thoroughly written, this worksheet can be used as a textbook reading guide or a note-taking sheet when listening to your lecture on the origin of species.
