Evolution

By Jodi Edge

analyze and evaluate how evidence of common ancestry among groups is provided by the

fossil record, biogeography, and homologies, including anatomical, molecular, and developmental

​and

​examine scientific explanations of abrupt appearance and stasis in the fossil record

​

​

Theory of Evolution

• Change happens gradually over time

• Change happens to populations, not individuals.​

• Genetic commonalities can identify common ancestry.

The theory says:

​

• ​Fossil record

• Biogeography

• ​Homologies

  • anatomical

  • molecular

  • developmental

Evidence for the theory:

Multiple Select

The theory of evolution states that...

• Change happens rappidly

• Genes point to common ancestry

• Change happens to individuals

• Change happens gradually, over time

• Change happens in populations

Multiple Select

Evidences include...

• Eye whitness accounts

• Biogeography

• Fossil record

• Genetic homology

What is the difference between a theory and a law?

• A theory is based on evidence

• A theory cannot change

• A law can change

• Laws are based on facts.

• Theorys can change.

• Fossils are laid down in layers from least complex to most complex.

Fossil Record:

​

Fossils from separated continents match where theory of pangea puts the continents together.
