Evidence for Evolution
Area: Embryology
Examples: embryo of pig and human
Pro: best evidence because it is the most fundamental or basic
information
Vocabulary: embryo — early stages of developing plants and animalscomparative embryology — study of
different developing organisms.
Comparative Embryology
Comparative Embryology
Evidence for Evolution
Area: Biochemistry
Examples: amino acid sequence of chimpanzee and human
Con: limited access to amino acids of past organisms
Vocabulary: comparative biochemistry — comparing amino acid sequences of
different organisms
Human (H) Chimp (C)
Chromosome comparison
Human (H)
Chimp (C) Orangutan (O)
Gorilla (G)
Chromosomes of Primates
Amino Acid Sequence for Hemoglobin Molecule
Evidence for Evolution Area: Genetics
Examples: domesticated plants and animals; DNA sequence; mutations
Pro: changes easily seen in domestic plants/animals; gene links for generation after generation documented.
Con: limited access to past DNA
Vocabulary: population — all organisms within a breeding group.
selective breeding — artificial selection of only the most desirable traits to be bred.
