PPT-Evidence of Evolution

Organism DNA 1a Some of the strongest evidence for evolutionary relationships comes from studying the DNA of different organisms 1b The fact that all organisms use the same DNA molecule to code for genetic information suggests that these organisms share a distant ancestor. Variation in Living Things. SPECIES  - Group of organisms that interbreed. VARIATION - small differences between individuals of a species  . Some neither helpful nor harmful  . Some enable organism to be better suited to its environment.. EQ: What evidence convinced Darwin that species could change over time?. TEK 7ACDE. (. Supported . by 5 branches of . science. ). Evidence of Evolution. The Fossil Record (Paleontology). Geographic Distribution of Living Things (Geography). Evidence for Evolution. What is Evolution??. Change in the genetic composition of a population during successive generations, as a result of natural selection acting on the genetic variation among individuals, and resulting in the development of new species..

Artificial selection increases life span in fruit flies. Inherent limits, or can lifespan evolve?. Fruit fly expt:. Female sockeye salmon defending its nest before dying. II. Fundamental Trade-offs. Mite Kiwi bird. is the process of change over time.. Evidence of evolution. . Biogeography. is the study of where organisms live now and where their ancestors lived in the past.. Patterns in the distribution of living and fossil species tell us how modern organisms evolved from their ancestors.. Early scientists proposed ideas about evolution. . Evolution is the biological change process by which descendants come to differ from their ancestors.. A species is a group of organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring.. . The process by which organism change over time. Based on science, not opinion.. Darwin. :. Evolution is descent with modification. Evolution. :. changes through time. Species accumulate difference.
