LO3.2 Explain the role of endosymbiosis and horizontal gene transfer in the origins of the major lineages.

LO3.3 Justify why biodiversity is important to humans.

LO3.4 Compare the general characteristics of major lineages in evolutionary history

LO3.5 Summarize the role of extinction in shaping patterns of biodiversity
