1. Evolution of Candy Lab

2. Adaptations
Co-evolution: two organisms develop adaptation and evolve together
Ex. Longer beaks on hummingbirds
Structural: changes in structure of organism; take time to evolve
Mimicry: enables a species to look like another species ex. Snakes with patterns
Physiological: changes in the chemical makeup of an organism; can evolve quickly
Bacteria become immune to antibiotics

3. Evidence for Evolution
Fossils and paleontology
Homologous structures: structural features with a common evolutionary origin; can be similar in arrangement, function, or both
Analogous structures: structures that do not have a common evolutionary origin, but are similar in function
Vestigial structures: structure that has no function in a present-day organism

4. What type of structures?

5. What type of structures?
Dinosaur Leg
Human Arm
Bird Wing

6. Evidence for Evolution
Embryology: studying the development or organisms at the earliest stages
Biochemistry: comparisons of organisms’ DNA & RNA

7. Diagramming Evolutionary Relationships
Shows the evolutionary relationships between organisms, with the oldest organism at one end and each animal being more evolved than the last
Cladogram
Groups larger groups into two smaller groups; to be used for identifying organisms
Dichotomous key
