NGSS.HS-LS4-1

Process by which unrelated organisms evolve anatomical similarities when adapting to similar environments.

• Convergent evolution
• Biogeography
• Genome map
• Molecular homologies

Similarities between organisms of different species during early embryologic development which indicates common ancestry

• Developmental homologies
• Comparative embryology

NGSS.HS-LS4-5

Examination of the similarities and differences in DNA sequences between different species of organisms, with the similarities indicating more recent common ancestry.

• DNA comparisons

NGSS.HS-LS1-4

A record of the entire genome (all the DNA) of an organism

• Genome map

NGSS.HS-LS4-2

NGSS.HS-LS4-4

An experiment that simulated the conditions of early pre-biotic Earth's atmosphere and oceans which determined that biomolecules could be synthesized under those conditions, and is used as evidence that life originzated from chemistry.

• Miller-Urey Experiment
• Pangaea
• Divergent evolution
• Oparin-Haldane Hypothesis
