Evidence of evolution Practice

Master evidence of evolution with this practice worksheet!

Matching Matching the type of evidence for evolution with its corresponding description. Fossils By comparing fossils we can see change over time and change between organisms 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. DNA 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?At an early stage of development, humans show gill-like structures. Homologous Structure Vestigial Structure Analogous Structure Embyrology DNA What type of evidence is described by the following statement?Humans have the remnants of a tail bone. Homologous Structure Vestigial Structure Analogous Structure Embyrology DNA 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 Embryology Molecular 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 Embryology DNA Fossil Record 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
