PPT-Evidence for Evolution Homologous

Structures features similar in structure but appear in different organisms with different functions Analogous structures structures similar in function but are not similar in origin Vestigial . Homologous and Analogous Structures. Need to Know. The difference between homologous and analogous structures and how this relates to evolution.. Convergent evolution. Concept 19.3: Evolution is supported by an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence. Homologous Structures (flowers). Broccoli and Cauliflower evolved from Mustard. print. Homology: A Bouquet of Broccoli One wouldn't normally munch on a rosebud or snap off a dandelion flower for a quick snack. But in fact, in terms of homologies, when you eat broccoli or cauliflower, you are doing just that. Although not scented or suitable for centerpieces, the green tips of broccoli and the white tips of cauliflower are actually flowers. Through many generations of artificial selection, farmers modified the bright yellow blooms of the wild mustard plant into the edible, vegetal plant parts you'll find nestled next to the ranch dip on the hors d'oeuvre tray. . IMSS . BIOLOGY . . ~. . . SUMMER . 2011. LEARNING TARGETS. To understand that biological evolution . involves . descent with modification. . To explain and give different types of evidence for the key concept of biological evolution: all life shares a common ancestor.. Evolution Videos.

What is Natural Selection?. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SCjhI86grU. There is overwhelming evidence for the evolution of life on Earth. . Evolution in summary. Evolution occurs when heritable characteristics of a species change. . Evolution at its most fundamental level simply describes a . nd. , 2014 . Give one example of an adaptation and explain . why. it is an adaptation. . Define evolution by natural selection.. 3. Give an example of geographic isolation. . 4. How are convergent and divergent evolution different? . Evidence of Evolution. Essential Questions. What is the anatomical evidence of evolution?. How are fossils used as evidence of evolution?. What evolutionary evidence do we have from the field comparative embryology?. 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.. What do we use in order to determine evolutionary relationships?. Fossil Record. Anatomical Evidence. Molecular Evidence. Embryological Evidence. Evidence for Evolution. Fossil Record. Evidence for Evolution. By Dr. J. Suris Soto. Objectives . By the end of this lesson you should be able to . List several examples of evidence for evolution.. Explain how fossils, and the fossil record document the descend of modern species from ancient ancestors.. 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.. Evidence. Evidence. . of . common ancestry . among species comes from many sources.. . 2. FIVE PIECES OF EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION. G – Geographical . distribution . F – Fossil . evidence (remains of ancient organisms). Fossil evidence for evolution. Most evidence of evolution was originally found in fossils. Fossils can preserve the structure of organisms in sedimentary rock if conditions are just right. . One area of evidence of evolution is embryology, the study of embryos. When we compare embryos we can see shared characteristics of organisms throughout their developmental process. . Homologous structures. Human Arm . Bat Wing . Whale Flipper. . Analogous. Structures . Similar functions but NOT structurally related. . Insects are arthropods and birds are vertebrates. . The wing of a bird and the wing of a butterfly are examples of .
