Evidence of Evolution Blue-footed booby

Evidence of evolution Fossil Record Anatomy Embryology Biochemistry Evidence in microevolution

Preservation (insect in amber) Fossil evidence Mold Fossil Fossils → remains of ancient life Fossils arranged according to age show a progression of changes The Law of Superposition → a layer of rock is older than the layer above Fossils can be arranged by relative age Radioactive Dating → naturally occurring radioactive substances decay at a known rate Transitional forms of fossils are evidence for evolutionary change Preservation (insect in amber) Cast Fossil

Anatomy evidence Evolution works primarily by modifying pre-existing structures Homologous structures: parts came from the same origins, but now may have different function e.g., forelimbs of all mammals contain the same pattern of bones, although the bones now carry out a variety of functions horse leg, bat wing, human arm, whale flipper

Anatomy evidence Analogous structures: parts came from different origin, but now have same function

Anatomy evidence Vestigial structures: parts have no current function (had a function in ancestors) Examples in humans: wisdom teeth, erector pili, coccyx, ear muscles, appendix

Embryology evidence Closely related organisms develop similarly, especially in early fetal stages This suggests that these organisms are related to other forms. Mammal embryos (including humans) have fish-like gill slits, tail

Biochemistry evidence All organisms share certain biochemistry Genetic code for building amino acids All organisms use ATP for energy Plasma membranes of all organisms consist of a phospholipid bi-layer

# of amino acid differences between human hemoglobin and other organisms

H: Human Chromosome C: Chimp Chromosome

Evidence for Microevolution Evolution Observed Evolution of pesticide resistance in response to selection.

Evidence for Evolution – Evolution Observed Evolution of drug-resistance in HIV

Evolution in Action

Macroevolution Large scale changes that take place over a long period of time that create and eliminate species.

Microevolution Short time scale events (generation-to-generation) that change the genotypes and phenotypes of populations.
