Evidence for Evolution Embryonic Development Microevolution Body Structures EQ: What is some of the evidence for evolution? Biological Molecules The Fossil Record

Microevolution Evolution that we can see in action during a small amount of time (remember evolution is change {in genes} over time). Examples include Peppered moths, antibiotic resistance, pesticide resistance in insects. The Peppered Moth

Evolution of pesticide resistance in response to selection

Evolution of drug-resistance in HIV 4

Biological Molecules Similarities in DNA sequences- The more alike two organisms are, the more amino acids they have in common (genetic sequence). Example- Chimpanzees and humans share a nearly identical amino acid sequence.

Similarities in DNA Sequence 6

Homologous Body Structures Structures that are inherited from a common ancestor. Structures have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissues Provide strong evidence that all four- limbed animals with backbones descended, with modification, from a common ancestor.

Homologous Body Structures Scientists noticed animals with backbones (vertebrates) had similar bone structure May differ in form or function Limb bones develop in similar patterns Arms, wings, legs, flippers

Homologous Structures

Vestigial Structures Structures that are present in an organism, but serve no apparent purpose. Examples: appendix in man, legs on skinks, pelvic bone of whales

Similarities In Early Development Embryonic Structures Of Different Species Show Significant Similarities Embryo – early stages of vertebrate development

Similarities In Embryonic Development Evidence for Evolution - Comparative Embryology Similarities In Embryonic Development

Pharyngeal pouches are present during embryonic development. Chicken Turtle Pharyngeal pouches are present during embryonic development. Human Rat

The Fossil Record FOSSIL RECORD: all information about past life that can provide evidence about the history of life on Earth. The fossil record is incomplete, because not all organisms become fossilized after death. Over 99% of all species that have ever lived on Earth have become extinct.
