Evidence of evolution that gives us a time scale?
Single Jeopardy – Category 2

12. What provides evidence of evolution?
$400
Fossils
Embryology
Homologous structures
Vestigial Structures
Biochemical evidence
Single Jeopardy – Category 2
What provides evidence of evolution?

13. What is an example of a vestigial structure in humans?
$600
Appendix
Wisdom Teeth
Ear wiggling muscles
What is an example of a vestigial structure in humans?
Single Jeopardy – Category 2

14. How is embryology evidence of evolution?
$800
Embryos of different organisms are the same at early stages of development. This suggest they have come from a common ancestor
How is embryology evidence of evolution?
Single Jeopardy – Category 2

15. Explain the biochemical evidence of evolution?
$1000
Similar RNA/DNA
Same amino acids
More similar proteins in closely related species
Explain the biochemical evidence of evolution?
Single Jeopardy – Category 2

16. Why are homologous structures used as evidence of evolution?
$200
Homologous structures show that organisms have a recent common ancestor
Why are homologous structures used as evidence of evolution?
Single Jeopardy – Category 3

17. What is a vestigial structure?
$400
They are structures that no longer appear have a function so must have been present in an earlier common ancestor.
Single Jeopardy – Category 3
What is a vestigial structure?

18. What are homologous Structures? Examples?
$600
Body parts that have a similar structure but have different functions
Examples: forearm of a cat & fin of a whale
What are homologous Structures? Examples?
Single Jeopardy – Category 3

19. What are analogous Structures? Example?
$800
Body parts that have different structures but the same function
Example: dolphin & fish fins
What are analogous Structures? Example?
Single Jeopardy – Category 3

20. Why do some vestigial structures still exist?
$1000
It takes time for evolution to occur. It requires people to be born without the structure and mate with others born with out the structure
Why do some vestigial structures still exist?
Single Jeopardy – Category 3

21. What are two models of evolution?
$200
Gradualism and Punctuated Equilibrium
What are two models of evolution?
Single Jeopardy – Category 4

22. Which model did Darwin propose?
$400
gradualism
Which model did Darwin propose?
Single Jeopardy – Category 4

23. Explain Punctuated Equilibrium
$600
A species is in a stable state (little/no changes) for an extended period of time followed by a brief and rapid period of change that produces a new species
Explain Punctuated Equilibrium
Single Jeopardy – Category 4

24. It is a model of evolution that is based on slow and steady changes
$800
It is a model of evolution that is based on slow and steady changes
Single Jeopardy – Category 4
What is gradualism?

25. Why did the punctuated equilibrium model develop?
$1000
To explain gaps in some of the fossil records; suggests that there are no gaps but rather these were periods of rapid change.
Single Jeopardy – Category 4
Why did the punctuated equilibrium model develop?

26. What is the shape of DNA? $200 A Double Helix
Single Jeopardy – Category 5

$400
1) Adenine 2) Thymine 3) Cytosine ) Guanine
What are the four nitrogenous bases of DNA?
Single Jeopardy – Category 5

28. What base pairs with Guanine?
$600

Single Jeopardy – Category 5
What are the three parts of a DNA nucleotide?

30. Why does DNA play an important role in evolution?
$1000
Mutations that occur during replication cause the variations that evolution can act upon
Why does DNA play an important role in evolution?
Single Jeopardy – Category 5

31. $200
A group of organisms who are capable of producing viable (fertile) offspring.
What is a species?
Single Jeopardy – Category 6

32. What is convergent evolution?
