Biogeography
1. Biogeographers study where organisms live now
and where they and their ancestors lived in
the past.
2. When individuals from a mainland bird
population immigrate to various islands, natural
selection may result in closely related, but
different, island species.
3. Distantly related organisms may be similar if they
live in similar environments.
4.What explains the distribution of finch species on
the Galapagos Islands?
The finch species had descended with
modification from a common mainland
ancestor.
5. What explains the existence of similar but unrelated
species?
Such species evolved features in common
because they were exposed to similar
pressures of natural selection.
Comparing Anatomy and Embryology
9. Structure Type
Description
Structures that are shared by
related species and that have
been inherited from a
common ancestor
Body parts that share
common function, but not
structure
Body parts in animals that are
so reduced in size that they
are just vestiges, or traces, or
homologous structures in
other species
Example
Comparing Anatomy
10. Bat wing and mouse
arm
11. Reptile foot and bird
foot
12. Dolphin fin and fish tail
13. Eyes on blind cavefish
14. Snake tongue and dog
nose
10 – homologous
11 – homologous
12 – analogous
13 – vestigial
14 – analogous
15. How are the forelimbs similar?
Same kinds of bones in approximately the same
positions
16. How are the forelimbs different?
The shape and length – ex. Metacarpals of bats are
much longer than humans
17. How are homologous structures such as forelimbs
evidence for common descent?
The bones are similar in structure and arrangement.
Therefore, it is reasonable to assume they are
descended from a common ancestral form
18. How does the pattern of embryological development
provide further evidence that organisms have descended
from a common ancestor?
The early developmental stages of many vertebrates
look very similar. Therefore, it is reasonable to
assume that vertebrates (animals with backbones)
are descended from a common ancestor.
Genetics and Molecular Biology
19. The science of genetics provides molecular evidence
that supports evolutionary theory
20. All living cells use DNA and RNA to code heritable
information.
21. The universal genetic code is used by almost all
organisms to direct protein synthesis.
22. Proteins that are homologous share extensive
structural and chemical similarities.
23. Cytochrome c is a protein used for cellular
respiration in almost every living cell.
24. Homologous genes called Hox genes control timing and
growth in embryos.
25. Relatively minor changes in an organism’s genome can
produce major changes in an organism’s structure.
26. Which of the following hypotheses did the Grants test?
A. Differences in beak size and shape produce differences in
fitness
B. For beak size and shape to evolve, the birds must leave the
islands.
C. For beak size and shape to evolve, the climate must
change radically.
D. Differences in beak size and shape are not determined by
genetic mutations.
Answer: A
27. The data that the Grants collected proved that there is
A. No link b/w the environment and the shape of finch feet
B. No link b/w the environment and the shape of finch beaks
C. Great variation of heritable traits among Galapagos finches.
D. Very little variation of heritable traits among Galapagos
finches.
ANSWER: C
28. The Grants conducted their experiment to test which of the
following processes?
A. Natural selection
B. Genetic mutation
C. Artificial selection
D. Sexual reproduction
ANSWER: A
29. The art shows how finch beaks are similar to certain kinds of
hand tools. Suppose a finch fed on insects that burrowed into
small holes on tree trunks. What type of tool do you think this
finch’s beak would resemble? Explain.
The finch’s beak might resemble a very thin probe that
can reach into a small hole and skewer or grasp the
insect
30. Evidence for Evolution includes:
 Geographic distribution of living species
(biogeography)
 Fossil record, age of Earth
 Similar anatomical structures
 Similar embryological development
 Universal genetic code
 Homologous proteins
 Experiments that verify natural selection occurs in
nature (Finch beaks)
