EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION NOTES
Ch. 10-12
Evolution
Is:
Does NOT:
show HOW life arose!
the change of species over time
3 Sources of scientific evidence for the theory of evolution:
1
2
Fossil Record
3
Homologies
Biogeography
Study of the geographic distribution of
species and fossils used to test
predictions and discover patterns
Fossils are:
traces of dead
organisms
Anatomical
Homologies
Developmental
Homologies
Ex. Embryology
Molecular Homologies
Biochemical Evidence
Defined as:
The study of
organisms in their
earliest stage of
development
Comparing the genes of
several species shows
that:
Closely related species
show similar DNA
nucleotides (thus amino
acids & proteins) than
distant species. Greater
# of similar aa’s, more
closely related. Greater
# of differences, more
distantly related.
Includes:
Dated by:
1. Relative dating-oldest rocks—deep
newer rocks—near
surface
2. Radioactive
dating-Ex. Carbon 14, half
life of radioisotope
Record is
incomplete
because:
Special conditions
are needed for
fossils to form—
Calcium must be
replaced & buried
in sediment in mud,
tar, ocean
(DNA & Proteins)
Homologous Structures
--structures that share a
common ancestry so have
same arrangement of
structures but different
form and function.
Ex. forelimbs of human,
bird, dolphin, bat
and
Analogous Structures
--structures that have
similar function but not
structure or form
Ex. bird wing & butterfly
wing
and
Vestigial Structures
--remnants of an
organism’s past, serve no
useful function
Ex. whale—pelvis,
human—appendix, tail
bone, muscles that move
ears
Evidence that:
Similar genes are
at work during
early
development.
Ex. Early embryos
of fish, monkeys,
humans, chickens,
etc. all look the
same
Ex.
Human & chimp amino
acids are more similar
than dogs or snakes
