3. A shark is an example of this type of fossil 2

4. 3 Living Fossil

5. 4 This is a picture of what type of fossil?

6. 5 Mold Fossil

7. 6 What type of traits are considered “primitive” (ex. Teeth)?

8. 7 Ancestral Traits

9. 8 From the video “Great Transformations,” you saw fossils that were discovered in Greenland of the first ___________.

10. 9 tetrapods

11. 10. What geologic era do the first fossils show up?

12. 11 Cambrian

13. 12 Which structures are not inherited from the same ancestor, but are similar in structure and function?

14. 13 Analogous Structures

15. 14 What type of structures do these pictures show?

16. 15 Homologous Structures

17. 16 This is a picture of what type of structure?

18. 17 Vestigial Organ

19. 18 Bird wings and butterfly wings are considered what type of structures?

20. 19 Analogous Structures

21. 20 These structures may become smaller over time if there is no function for them.

22. 21 Vestigial Structures

23. 22 Embryos exhibit what type of structures during certain phases of development?

24. 23 Homologous Structures

25. 24 In fish, the pharyngeal pouches in the embryo become what in the adult fish?

26. 25 Gills

27. 26 What does comparative embryology suggest about evolution?

28. 27 That vertebrates evolved from a shared ancestor

29. 28

30. 29

31. 30

32. 31

33. 32 Which molecules are studied in comparative biochemistry?

34. 33 DNA, RNA, and Proteins

35. 34 Cytochrome c is a protein that is highly “conserved.” What does this mean?

36. 35 This means that it has changed very little over millions of years of evolution

37. 36 Why is your DNA 50% the same as a bananas?

38. 37 Because all of the genes for making new cells, replicating DNA and making the proteins required for regular cell functioning are very similar.

39. 38 What is the name for the branch of science that uses computers to analyze biological information?

40. 39 Bioinformatics

41. 40 From the video “Great Transformations,” what genes showed a strong evolutionary conservation? (What were these genes responsible for?)

42. 41 Genes for Body Plan – that set up the structure of animals

43. 42 What is this picture showing?

44. 43 Island Colonization

45. 44 Which animals did Darwin observe during his South American trip that made him think about geographical distribution?

46. 45 The mara, compared to the English rabbit.

47. 46 Why do plants have more diversity than animals?

48. 47 Plants can more easily migrate to distant places and colonize – that is one reason why invasive species are so dangerous!

49. 40 What is the term used to describe the study of migration and distribution of plants and animals around the world?

50. 49 Biogeography

51. 50 How do Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift play a role in formation of new species?

52. 51 Evolution is intimately linked with climate and geological forces, especially plate tectonics, which helps explain many ancestral relationships and geographic distributions seen in fossils and living organisms today.

53. 52 Explain what natural selection predicts about mimicry, camouflage, homologous structures, and vestigial structures.
