Evidence of evolution and Types of Selection
Matching Matching the type of evidence for evolution with its corresponding description. radioactive dating Method for dating specimens that were once living on Earth by testing the presence of a specific isotope (i.e. Carbon-14) by its rate of decay. Geography Species found in one location closely resemble species found in another location indicating a common ancestor. Embryo Development Embryology Different species show similar developmental patterns indicating a common ancestors. Homologous Structures Similar body structures with different functions show indication of a common ancestor as different environments lead to adaptations. Vestigial Structures Organs or structures which have lost most or all of their original function indicates common ancestry with related species. Biochemical Evidence Comparison of the genetic code; more related species have similar biochemistry which indicates common ancestry. Sorting Sort the image based off whether it is a homologous OR analogous structure.(Larger images have been provided below for you to look at in case you need to- the images to sort are below them.)#1#2#3#4 Homologous Structure #4 #2 Analogous Structure #1 #3 What type of evidence is described by the following statement?The legs of a whale are left over from an ancestor that was once part reptile and part whale. Homologous Structure Vestigial Structure Analogous Structure Comparative Embyrology Biochemistry Evidence What type of evidence is described by the following statement?The DNA of a chimpanzee and a human are very similar, which suggests a common ancestor.. Homologous Structure Vestigial Structure Analogous Structure Comparative Embyrology Biochemistry Evidence What type of evidence is described by the following statement?In the earliest stages of life scientists can compare the development of different organisms. Homologous Structures Analogous Structures Vestigial Structures Comparative Embryology Biochemistry Evidence If a fossil contains 6.25% of Carbon-14, how old is that fossil? 5, 730 years old 11, 460 years old 17, 190 years old 22,920 years old How much Carbon-14 is present in a fossil that is 5, 730 years old? 100% 6.25% 50% 25% Fossil Record Use the Law of Superposition to rank the labeled fossils in the image below in order from oldest to youngest. Where 1 = oldest and 3 = youngest. (Hint: Use Numbers!!) 3 2 1 Sort each image or description into the correct type of selection (I put larger images below just in case the ones you are sorting are too small) Directional Selection Only the darkest moths blend in with the bark; therefore, they survive and reproduce Stabilizing Selection short tails throw off a cats balance and long tails drag on the ground. Medium tails are best Disruptive Selection large beaks can crack seeds and small beaks can pick up insects. Medium beaks can't do either Artificial Selection Farmers have the best dairy cows reproduce People choose which dogs to mate to provide desirable traits Sexual Selection A female chooses the male with the best territory Geographic Isolation Darwin's finches stopped mating because they lived on separate islands Temporal Isolation Species of flowers don't mate because they accept and release pollen on different days Behavioral Isolation Species of birds don't mate because they have different mating rituals Reproductive Isolation even if two organisms could have offspring, their offspring would be infertile
