Natural Selection – “survival of the fittest;” Animals best adapted for their environment will survive. Question: Which animal above is best adapted for snow, rabbit A or B? 5 Ideas to Support Evolution: • • • • • Biogeography Fossil Record Comparative Anatomy Comparative Embryology Molecular Biology (DNA) Today’s assignment: • • • • Read Pages 378-386 in the biology text book Answer Section Assessment questions 1-4 (p 386) Standardized Test Prep p. 391 (#1,#2, #6 - #10) See Ms. Johnson Biogeography: Study of the distribution of species geographically and historically, and why (or why not) they are found in a geographical area. • Look at page 383 in your text. • What land is shared by two rodent species? • Why do you think rodent species in the Americas are divided into different ranges? or 832 Fossil Record: Groupings of fossilzed organisms used to provide evidence about Earth’s history. Comparative Anatomy: Homologous structures in different organisms show common ancestors. Comparative Embryology: Early stages of embryos show similarities. For each step of guess the embryo, write down on scratch paper which one you think will will. Molecular Biology: Genetic mapping to show DNA connections between organisms. Red Panda: Related to Racoon, Bear or Panda? Darwin Awards • (10 January 2010, Brazil) An electrical discharge made toast of municipal guard Arthur de Souza Coelho, 47, on Sunday evening. • According to police reports, he had installed a tiny electric fence around his car to protect against the frequent robberies that occur in his neighborhood in Belem, Para. Then (direct translation from Portuguese) "he forgot that he had left the fence on and he ended dying with the electric shock.” • After all, we are all dying, but some end sooner than others. Reflection: Give an example of one of these 5 sources of evidence for evolution: •Biogeography •Fossil Record •Comparative Anatomy •Comparative Embryology •Molecular Biology (DNA)
