Evo Devo Biology Evolution Song

What is the "Beagle"?

• A gene

• A mutation

• Darwin's research ship

• Dr. Carroll's Book

What does the "Sonic Hedgehog" gene do?

• Repeat spine vertebrae

• Create digits on hands and feet

• Turns off genes

• Causes mutations

Who is "B. Mac"?

• Stephen Jay Gould

• Dr. Sean B. Carroll

• Thomas Huxley

• Dr. Barbara McClintock

Using changes in DNA sequences to determine evolutionary changes over time

• Mutation

• Hox gene

• Molecular Clock

• Evo devo

We use this to track whether a gene was "transformed" and used in an organism.

• Glow tag

• Homologs

• Switches

• Proteins

Scientist who studied corn genetics and discovered that genes can move and become active/inactive

• Charles Darwin

• Barbara McClintock

• Thomas Huxley

• Eric Davidson

Structures that have similar features in different species that are related.

• Proteins

• Hox genes

• Homologous structures

• DNA mutations

When a stem cell has divided and turned genes on or off those cells have

• Mutated

• Differentiated

• Died (apoptosis)

• a glow tag

What do "gills" develop into in humans (Homo sapiens)?

• arms and hands

• Ear and jaw

• ribs

• legs and feet

Science says that these can control the activity of a gene

• Proteins

• Ribosomes

• Switches

• Hydrogen bonds
