A shark is an example of this type of fossil

3

Living Fossil

4

This is a picture of what type of fossil?

5

Mold Fossil

6

What type of traits are considered “primitive” (ex. Teeth)?

7

Ancestral Traits

8

From the video “Great Transformations,” you saw fossils that were discovered in Greenland of the first ___________.

9

tetrapods

10

.What geologic era do the first fossils show up?

11

Cambrian

12

Which structures are not inherited from the same ancestor, but are similar in structure and function?

13

Analogous Structures

14

What type of structures do these pictures show?

15

Homologous Structures

16

This is a picture of what type of structure?

17

Vestigial Organ

18

Bird wings and butterfly wings are considered what

type of structures?

19

Analogous Structures

20

These structures may become smaller over time if

there is no function for them.

21

Vestigial Structures

22

Embryos exhibit what type of structures during certain phases of development?

23

Homologous Structures

24

In fish, the pharyngeal pouches in the embryo

become what in the adult fish?

25

Gills

26

What does comparative embryology suggest about

evolution?

27

That vertebrates evolved from a shared ancestor

28

31

32

Which molecules are studied in comparative biochemistry?

33

DNA, RNA, and Proteins

34

Cytochrome c is a protein that is highly

“conserved.” What does this mean?

35

This means that it has changed very little over

millions of years of evolution

36

Why is your DNA 50% the same as a

bananas?

37

Because all of the genes for making new cells, replicating

DNA and making the proteins required for regular

cell functioning are very similar.

38

What is the name for the branch of science that uses

computers to analyze biological information?

39

Bioinformatics

40

From the video “Great Transformations,” what genes showed a strong evolutionary

conservation? (What were these genes responsible for?)

41

Genes for Body Plan – that set up the structure

of animals

42

What is this picture showing?

43

Island Colonization

44

Which animals did Darwin observe during his South American trip

that made him think about geographical

distribution?

45

The mara, compared to the English rabbit.

46

Why do plants have more diversity than animals?

47

Plants can more easily migrate to distant places and colonize – that is one

reason why invasive species are so dangerous!

40

What is the term used to describe the study of migration and distribution of plants and animals around the world?

49

Biogeography

50

How do Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift play a role in formation of new species?

51Evolution is intimately linked with climate and geological forces, especially plate tectonics, which helps explain many ancestral relationships and geographic distributions seen in fossils and living organisms today.

52

Explain what natural selection predicts about mimicry,

camouflage, homologous structures, and vestigial

structures.
