What is the EVIDENCE that all life evolved from a common ancestor?
Part 2
2
Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):
TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS—shows slow gradual change of a species over a LONG time! CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—

On the back of your warm-up make the following list:

Why is This is hard to get right?

Evidence that life EVOLVES from an earlier species (common ancestor):
TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS—shows slow gradual change of a species over a LONG time! CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—So much life start out looking the same way!

31
“HOMO” means what? HOMOgenous mixtures are like pudding and kool aid!

CELL STRUCTURES—are similar among ALL living things DNA—the more DNA we share with another species, the closer we are related. EMBRYOS—we all start out life looking the same way! HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES--physical structures SO SIMILAR that they strongly indicate a common ancestor

38
HOMOLOGOUS IS NOT ANALOGOUS!
What are analogies?
39
ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!
40
ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!
41
ANALOGOUS things share a SIMILAR PURPOSE, but DIFFERENT STRUCTURE!
Both cat whiskers and bug antennae are helpful for these living things to sense their environment, but are structured differently.

43
ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!
Compare bird wings to insect wings. Would you say they are homologous or analogous structures? ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES DO THE SAME THING BUT ARE STRUCTURALLY DIFFERENT!

63
VESTIGIAL ORGANS…REMNANTS of ORGANS THAT SHOW US WHAT WE USED TO NEED in our earliest ancestors!

Would the nictitating membrane of the frog & cat be homologous or analogous?

they are both physically structured the same way.
