Evolution Assignment 01-10

What is evolution?

• A process by which species of organisms arise from earlier life forms and undergo change over time.

• A theory that explains the origin of the universe
• A process by which organisms develop immunity to diseases
• A theory that explains the behavior of atoms and molecules

Which would NOT be considered a fossil?

The study of embryological development provides anatomical evidence for evolution because...

• all vertebrate embryos pass through the same stages of development in the same sequence.

• all vertebrates are born with gills and a tail.

• all vertebrate embryos have completely different stages of development that look nothing alike.

• all plants and animals have wings, even if you can't see them when they are born.

The fossil record helps to build a timeline of life on Earth because...

• the older a fossil is, the deeper it will be found within layers of sedimentary rock.

• the older a fossil is, the closer it will be to the surface layers of sedimentary rock.

• gaps in the fossil record tell us all of the detailed changes to life on Earth during that gap.

• fossilized clocks from millions of years ago tell us exactly what time it was when specific events happened.
