2
A shark is an example of this
type of fossil
3
Living Fossil
4
This is a picture of what
type of fossil?
5
Mold Fossil
6
What type of traits are
considered “primitive” (ex.
Teeth)?
7
Ancestral Traits
8
From the video “Great
Transformations,” you saw
fossils that were discovered in
Greenland of the first
___________.
9
tetrapods
10
.
What
geologic era do the
first fossils show up?
11
Cambrian
12
Which structures are
not inherited from the
same ancestor, but are
similar in structure and
function?
13
Analogous Structures
14
What type of structures do
these pictures show?
15
Homologous Structures
16
This is a picture of what
type of structure?
17
Vestigial Organ
18
Bird wings and butterfly
wings are considered what
type of structures?
19
Analogous Structures
20
These structures may
become smaller over time if
there is no function for
them.
21
Vestigial Structures
22
Embryos exhibit what type
of structures during certain
phases of development?
23
Homologous Structures
24
In fish, the pharyngeal
pouches in the embryo
become what in the adult
fish?
25
Gills
26
What does comparative
embryology suggest about
evolution?
27
That vertebrates evolved
from a shared ancestor

32
Which molecules are studied in
comparative biochemistry?
33
DNA, RNA, and Proteins
34
Cytochrome c is a
protein that is highly
“conserved.” What does
this mean?
35
This means that it has
changed very little over
millions of years of evolution
36
Why is your DNA
50% the same as a
bananas?
37
Because all of the genes for
making new cells, replicating
DNA and making the
proteins required for regular
cell functioning are very
similar.
38
What is the name for the
branch of science that uses
computers to analyze
biological information?
39
Bioinformatics
40
From the video “Great
Transformations,” what genes
showed a strong evolutionary
conservation? (What were these
genes responsible for?)
41
Genes for Body Plan –
that set up the structure
of animals
42
What is this
picture showing?
43
Island Colonization
44
Which animals did
Darwin observe during
his South American trip
that made him think
about geographical
distribution?
45
The mara, compared to
the English rabbit.
46
Why do plants have more
diversity than animals?
47
Plants can more easily
migrate to distant places
and colonize – that is one
reason why invasive
species are so dangerous!
40
What is the term used to describe
the study of migration and
distribution of plants and animals
around the world?
49
Biogeography
50
How do Plate Tectonics and
Continental Drift play a role
in formation of new species?
51
Evolution is intimately linked
with climate and geological
forces, especially plate
tectonics, which helps explain
many ancestral relationships
and geographic distributions
seen in fossils and living
organisms today.
52
Explain what natural selection
predicts about mimicry,
camouflage, homologous
structures, and vestigial structures.
