To be successful today…
Pick up evolution booklet from blue table Evolution Test: TOM 1/18; Review Sheet Due TOM 1/18 To be successful today… BYOD Color of the day is Phones are in put away in backpacks
2
Warm-Up Tues 1/17 Read the scenario on the front of your review sheet and fill in the chart
3
Evidence for Evolution Recap…
1) Fossil Record 2) Homologous Structures 3) Analogous Structures 4) Vestigial Structures 5) Embryology 6) Genetic Comparisons
4
Warm-Up Thurs 1/12 1) In the chocolate bug lab, which bug was the mimic? Why? 2) How does mimicry increase an organism’s ability to survive and reproduce in its environment? 3) What would happen to the mimic species if it was NOT able to copy the model?
5
Warm-Up Fri 1/13 What are homologous structures? Give an example.
How do homologous structures show evolution? What are analogous structures? Give an example. Do analogous structures suggest a common ancestor? Why or why not?
6
Evidence for Evolution
7
1. Fossil Record Age & Behavior patterns
Show changes in climate & geography
8
1. Fossil Record Shows evolution & adaptation
Problems: Incomplete fossils & Imperfectly preserved
9
What similarities do you see among the forelimbs of these animals?
If you said “yes” then you just made a type of observation that scientists use to establish evolutionary relationships among organisms.
10
Homologous structures – similar internal structure found in different groups of organisms
11
Homologous structures
May or may NOT look the same on the outside May have a different function Shows common ancestor Ex. forelimbs of vertebrates
12
What is a similar feature of these 2 organisms?
13
Analogous Structures Structures w/similar function, but different internal structure Any body part that is similar in function but different in structure is an analogous structure.
14
Shows evolution But NOT by a common ancestor Ex: wings – bats, insects, & birds
15
3. Vestigial Structures Structures/organs that are no longer used
May have been used by ancestor Indicate a change has occurred
16
Examples Ostrich wings Human appendix Cave fish eyes
17
Warm-Up Fri 1/13 What are homologous structures? Give an example.
How do homologous structures show evolution? What are analogous structures? Give an example. Do analogous structures suggest a common ancestor? Why or why not?
18
To be successful today…
Pick up warm-up sheet from blue table Pull out Evidence notes & booklet Evolution Test: Wed 1/18; Review Sheet Due Wed 1/18 To be successful today… BYOD Color of the day is Phones are in put away in backpacks
19
Similar Fossils in multiple layers
Fossil Record Similar Fossils in multiple layers Fossils that disappear
20
5. Embryology Many different animals have the same organs when they are embryos Ex: embryos of fish, reptiles, birds & mammals all have gills. Suggests evolution from a common ancestor zebrafish chicken dog human skunk
21
Analyze Embryo Diagram
Which two organisms are most related? Which two organisms are least related?
22
6. Genetic Comparisons Shows evolutionary relationships using DNA sequences Ex. DNA sequence for ATP is the same for all living organisms Ex. Homologous structures require similar DNA
23
Which Deer Species is most related to the common ancestor (#1)?
24
Which 2 species are most similar? Least similar?
25
Evolutionary Diagrams
Phylogenic trees and Cladograms – Diagrams that shows evolutionary relationships of organisms based on similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics.
26
