1. Evidence for Evolution7A
Analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental.

2. Common Ancestry

4. Fossils

6. Newest or youngest fossils
Fossil Record
Newest or youngest fossils
Oldest fossils

8. Biogeography

10. Homologous Structures

12. Vestigial Structures

13. Molecular Homologies

15. Developmental Homology

16. Phylogenetic Tree

19. Cladogram

22. Common Ancestry
Group of related species all come from (with some differences) the same ancestor
Ex: tigers and lions came from saber tooth cat

23. Fossils
Preserved remains of ancient organisms
Ex: dinosaur fossils

24. Fossil Record How species have evolved from their ancestors
Ex: horse fossil record

26. Biogeography
Study or where species now live and where they & their ancestors used to live

27. Homologous Structures
Structures that show similarities between groups or organisms

28. Vestigial organs
Structures that still exist in animal but no longer have any use
Ex: Hind leg bones on whales
Ex: Caudal vertebrae in humans (tail)

29. Molecular Homologies
Comparing DNA & protein structures

30. Developmental Homology
Comparing similar structures during development of embryos
