1 What is the EVIDENCE that all life evolved from a common ancestor?
Part 2

2 Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):
TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS—shows slow gradual change of a species over a LONG time! CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—

3 On the back of your warm-up make the following list:
HUMAN DOLPHIN OWL HORSE PIG CAT ELEPHANT MINK BAT TURTLE

4 Try to match the following embryos to the right creatures below…

25 Why is This is hard to get right?

26 Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):
TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS—shows slow gradual change of a species over a LONG time! CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—So much life start out looking the same way!

27 NEXT….

28 HOMOZYGOUS: HOMOGENOUS
SAME LOOK THROUGHOUT : SAME LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE SAME LOOK THROUGHOUT : SAME GENES SAME GENES: SAME LOOK THROUGHOUT SAME GENES : SAME GROUP on the PERIODIC TABLE

29 HOMOZYGOUS: HOMOGENOUS

31 “HOMO” means what? HOMOgenous mixtures are like pudding and kool aid!

32 “HOMO” means “SAME” HOMOgenous mixtures are like pudding and kool aid!

33 show the fish from 8/2011

34 Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):
TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS—shows slow gradual change of a species over a LONG time! CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—we all start out life looking the same way! HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES--physical structures SO SIMILAR that they strongly indicate a common ancestor

35 HOMOlogous FINGER structures…

36 HOMOlogous ARM BONE structures….

HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES--physical structures SO SIMILAR that they strongly indicate a common ancestor

38 HOMOLOGOUS IS NOT ANALOGOUS!
What are analogies?

39 ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!

40 ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!

41 ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!
Both cat whiskers and bug antennae are helpful for these living things to sense their environment, but are structured differently.

42 ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!
Both cat whiskers and bug antennae are helpful for these living things to sense their environment, but are structured differently.

43 ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!
Compare bird wings to insect wings. Would you say they are homologous or analogous structures? ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!

44 ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!
Compare bird wings to insect wings. Would you say they are homologous or analogous structures? ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!

45 homologous or analogous structure???
INSECT EYES MAMMAL EYES

46 homologous or analogous structure???
INSECT EYES MAMMAL EYES

47 homologous or analogous structure???
PENGUIN FINS FISH FINS

48 homologous or analogous structure???

49 homologous or analogous structure???
HUMAN KIDNEYS DOLPHIN KIDNEYS

50 homologous or analogous structure???

51 homologous or analogous structure???
JELLYFISH TENDRILS OCTOPUS TENTACLES

52 homologous or analogous structure???

53 Homologous or analogous? Chicken feet vs. T-rex feet

54 Homologous or analogous? Chicken feet vs. T-rex feet

HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES--physical structures SO SIMILAR that they strongly indicate a common ancestor NOT ANALOGOUS! VESTIGIAL ORGANS—

57 vestigial organs… the human appendix

58 vestigial organs… hind leg bones on a snake

59 vestigial organs… the tail bone of a human

60 vestigial organs… our wisdom teeth

61 vestigial organs… our wisdom teeth

62 vestigial organs… NICTITATING MEMBRANE!

63 VESTIGIAL ORGANS…REMNANTS of ORGANS THAT SHOW US WHAT WE USED TO NEED in our earliest ancestors!
NICTITATING MEMBRANE!

64 Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):

CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—All life start out looking the same way! HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES--physical structures SO SIMILAR that they strongly indicate a common ancestor NOT ANALOGOUS! VESTIGIAL ORGANS—an organ that served a purpose in the distant earlier ancestor of an organism, but isn’t needed anymore.

65 Would the nictitating membrane of the frog & cat be homologous or analogous?

66 Would the nictitating membrane of the frog & cat be homologous or analogous?
they are both physically structured the same way.

67 end!
