16.4 – Evidence of Evolution 16.4 Evidence of Evolution

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Biogeography  Biogeography - is the study of where organisms live now and where they and their ancestors lived in the past.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Closely Related, but Different  Same ancestor, but adapted to different environments.  Black-tailed Jackrabbit  Snowshoe Hare  Classification = Same Genus (Lepus) – Different Species

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Distantly Related, but Similar  Different ancestors, adapted to similar environments  Differences point to different ancestors  Similarities caused by similar environments.  Example: Rhea, Ostrich, & Emu  Classification = Different Order, Genus & Species

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution The Age of Earth  Geologists now use radioactivity to establish the age of certain rocks and fossils. = Radioactive Dating  Earth is about 4.5 billion years old

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Fossil Evidence  3.8 billion years: oldest fossil evidence  Prokaryotes are the oldest form of life  Location of eukaryotes in strata suggests they evolved from prokaryotes  Fossils link life forms from past and present (whales)

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Recent Fossil Finds  One recently discovered fossil series documents the evolution of whales from ancient land mammals.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution More Recent Fossil Finds  Other recent fossil finds link:  Dinosaurs and Birds  Fish and four-legged land animals.  The fossil evidence we do have suggests an unmistakable story of evolutionary change.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution

Homologous Structures  Homologous structures = Structures that are shared by related species and that have been inherited from a common ancestor.  **Common structure, not common function.** The bones in the forelimbs of mammals all have the same basic pattern.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Analogous Structures  Analogous structures = Body parts that share a common function, but not structure, and different ancestry.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Vestigial Structures  Vestigial structures = are inherited from ancestors, but have lost much or all of their original function in the descendent.  The hipbones of bottlenose dolphins  Ear muscles, appendix, and others in humans.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Embryology  Researchers noticed that the early developmental stages of many vertebrates look very similar.  Similar patterns of embryological development provide further evidence for a common ancestor.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Life’s Common Genetic Code  All living cells use information coded in DNA and RNA to carry information from one generation to the next.  It is nearly identical in almost all organisms, including bacteria, yeasts, plants, fungi, and animals.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Homologous Molecules  Homologous proteins share extensive structural and chemical similarities.  Cytochrome c, is a protein found in almost all living cells, and is very similar in structure in all organisms.  Ex. Bakers yeast and human cells  Developmental genes called HOX genes are similar in multicellular animals.

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Testing Natural Selection  The Grant’s tested Darwin’s idea of natural selection.  The data shows that individual finches with different-size beaks have better or worse chances of surviving both seasonal droughts and longer dry spells.  Less food = Bigger beak greater chance of survival

16.4 – Evidence of Evolution Testing Natural Selection  The Grants’ data confirmed that competition and environmental change drive natural selection.  Without heritable variation in beak sizes, the finch species would not be able to adapt to a change in the environment.
