AP Biology Unit 7: Natural Selection — Mind Map

Reviews mechanisms of evolution (natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, non-random mating), Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and its assumptions, types of natural selection (directional, stabilizing, disruptive), speciation, phylogenetic trees, and evidence for evolution.
