Evidence of Evolution
Chapter 15
Part II

1. Fossil Record
Are able to observe links between modern forms and ancestors (ex. transition species)
Relative age- age compared to other fossils by referring to the geologic time scale and records of known fossils
Absolute age- use of radiometric dating to date rocks

2. Biogeography Geographical distribution of species New organisms arise in same geographic
area where similar forms already lived Example) Australia – has native wolves, cats,
mice, moles, and anteaters. Most mammals are marsupials (animals evolved in isolation)

Ex) Ancient Irish Elk

Ex) European Elk

3. Anatomy and Embryology Homologous structures- anatomical structures
that occur in different species that originated in most recent common ancestor may have different functions but look similar

Analogous Structures- a body part similar in function to another organism due to environmental pressures
Ex) the wings of a fly, a moth, and a bird developed independently as adaptations to a common function – flying
![Page 13: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Analogy vs. Homology
![Page 14: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Vestigial structures- a part of an organism with little or no function but which had a function in an ancestral species
![Page 15: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Comparative Embryology- Study of structures that appear during embryonic development Ex)All vertebrate embryos go though a stage in
which they have gill pouches on the sides of their throats

4. Molecular Biology (DNA and Proteins)
Comparison of DNA, RNA, and amino acid sequences
Greater the number of similarities, the more closely the species are related through a common ancestor
Shows the common descent of the most diverse organisms.

Evidence of Evolution:fossil evidence, homologous structures, embryology,
vestigial organs, biochemical
Bones in bird’s wing and human’s arm are similar in structure.
All organisms use ATP to transfer energy. There are similarities in structure among the early
stages of fish, birds and humans. Humans, unlike rabbits, have no known use for
their appendix. Horses have increased in size and decreased in
number of toes since the Eocene.

Phylogeny The relationships by ancestry among
groups of organism Represented by the “Tree of Life” Different evidence supports different
“trees”
![Page 25: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Patterns of Evolution
1. Coevolution
2. Convergent Evolution
3. Divergent Evolution
![Page 27: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
1. Coevolution When two or more species have evolved
adaptations that influence each other (evolutionary “arms race”)
Examples: Predator-prey Parasite-host Plant-animal pollinator (bee and flower) Humans have developed and used
antibiotics to kill bacteria, bacteria have evolved to become antibiotic resistant
![Page 28: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
2. Convergent Evolution Organisms appear to be similar but are not
closely related at all The environment selects similar traits Result in analagous structures
Ex) dolphin and shark
![Page 29: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. Divergent Evolution Two or more biological characteristics
become more and more dissimilar in response to different habitats
![Page 30: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Adaptive radiation- a new population in a new environment (island) will undergo evolution until the population fills many parts of the environmentEx) Galapagos finches
Caribbean Anole Lizards
![Page 31: Evidence of Evolution](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56815c3c550346895dca32a4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Artificial Selection
The intentional breeding (by humans) of certain traits, or combination of traits, over others
