Evidence of Evolution Review

Front

Structures that are similar in form but could be different in function, show evidence of a common ancestor.

Homologous structures

Front

Structures that are similar in function, but have different forms. Evidence that they evolved separately NOT from a common ancestor.

Back

Analogous structures

Front

Changes that happen at a slow, steady pace over long periods of time

Back

Gradualism

Front

A period of very little to no change

Stasis

Front

A period of little to no change, followed by a period of rapid changes in species

Punctuated Equilibrium

Front

The study of where different plants and animals are located and how they came to be there
