Chapter 13: Evidence of Evolution Topic 13 Evidence of Evolution (Chapter 13) Fossils Biogeography 13.1 13.2 Anatominical Comparisons Embryonic Development Patterns 13.3 13.4 Goal: To identify the scientific evidence supporting the theory of evolution. Essential Questions What types of information are used to determine how species are related to one another? Why are transitional fossils especially useful for understanding evolutionary relationships? Why are vestigial structures are important to evolutionary biology? Outcomes (Desired Results) By the end of the unit, students will be able to: Describe attributes that can be used to determine evolutionary relatedness in species. (13.1-5) Explain why hard body parts are more likely to appear in the fossil record. (13.1) Describe two ways that the age of a fossil can be determined. (13.1) Explain how biogeography can be used to explain the evolution of a species. (13.2) Compare and contrast homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures. (13.3) Explain how embryonic development can be used to identify evolutionary relationships. (13.4) Describe how DNA sequences can reveal evolutionary relatedness. (13.5) Explain what is meant by a molecular clock. (13.5) Assessments Complete the quiz. (13.1-13.5) Complete the LearnSmart Activity for Chapter 13 Molecules 13.5
