C. Classifying Life 1. Categories D, K, P, C, O, F, G, & S
Kingdom Monera Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae Figure 1.15
Kingdom Animalia Figure 1.15
III. Characteristics of Animals A. Shared Characteristics
multi-cellular heterotrophs, contractile proteins, special tissues, stages of development, motile, and fixed adult size
IV. Evidence of Selection A. Fossil Record
The fossil record is based on what three key points of data to age identify them? Strata Positioning & Half-Life Dating Racemization Magnetic Reversal
B. Comparative Anatomy
Analogous structures = Outward similar inward different or same function different structure Figure 1.21
Homologous Structures = Outward different inward similar or same structure different function Vestigial Structures =Outwardly useless remnants?? Figure 22.15
C. Comparative Embryology
Similarities in developmental patterns in animals Figure 32.8 Figure 32.9
D. Molecular Homology
Homologies between species (yeast, wheat, & primate) in the sequential amino acid make-up of cytochrome C3.C3.
E. Current Evidence 1. Artificial Selection
That’s all for now folks.
