Structures with different structures but the same function.

• Vestigial

• Homologous

• Analogous

• Developmental

When examining fossil layers...

• those at the surface are newer than those at the bottom.

• those at the surface are older than those at the bottom.

• fossils will only be seen in the layer nearest the surface.

• fossils will only be seen in the layer nearest the bottom.

What is a vestigial structure?

• A structure that is beginning to develop by evolution but doesn't have a function yet.

• A very small structure in a large animal.

• A structure from an ancestor that doesn't serve its original purpose and is disappearing.

• A structure that serves an unexpected purpose.

What is true about evolution?

• It is caused by individuals adapting during their lifetime.

• It is a scientific hypothesis.

• It occurs when organisms acclimate to their environments.

• It is change in a species over many generations.

How does the fossil record provide evidence of evolution?

• It proves that there are animals that are now extinct.

• It shows that bones can be preserved in mud.

• Newer, complex fossils show structural similarities with older, simpler fossils.

• It tells us that there are different layers of rock in the Earth.

What is stasis?

• A type of crab that proves evolution is true.

• When an organisms shows remarkably little evolutionary change over a long period.

• When a gap appears in the fossil records.

• When an organism evolves a LOT over a short period of time.

Closely related species are usually found in areas that are geographically close.

• True

• False

If closely-related species normally live nearby each other, how can you explain this image?

• These organisms are not actually closely-related.

• The llama swam across the Atlantic Ocean millions of years ago.

• The llama does not share a common ancestor with camels.

• South America, Asia, and Africa were once connected but broke apart millions of years ago.

What happened after Pangea split apart 175 mya?

• Organism of the same species were split between continents and evolved separately.

• All organisms of each species chose the same continent to live on together.

• There was no significant impact on the evolution of species.

• Almost every species suddenly went extinct.
