EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTIONChapter 15-2
Review of 15-3Unit 8 Part 2: Notes #1
Warm-up 2/13: • What is Struggle to Survive?
• Give an Example.• Why is struggle to survive key to Natural Selection?
• Give two examples of Evidence that scientist have to support evolution. (You should have learned some in middle school)
Evolution of a population is due to environment and the interaction of other species
Evolution acts on phenotype, not genotype
Evolution defined…
Convergent evolution: Organisms with very different ancestors become more alike due to a common environment Ex. fish and whales-
compare analogous structures
Speed Review:Examples of Evolution
Divergent evolution: populations become more and more dissimilar to adapt to the environment-compare homologous structures
Appearance of birds with different sized beaks that are specific for size of bird seed
Population undergoes divergent evolution until it fills all areas of the environment
Adaptive radiation
Co-evolution: as one species evolves another does (parasites and hosts)
EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTIONNew Notes
Chapter 15-2
Evolution defined…Evolution is a process of gradual modifications
Darwin called this descent with modification
Many animals and plants shared common ancestors and deviated from that common ancestor overtime
Organism 1
Organism 2
Ancestor
Phylogenesis – the evolutionary development and diversification of a species or group of organismsPhylogenic Tree
Fossils
Fossils provide geologic evidence of evolution
Fossils in older layers are more primitive than those in the upper layers
Transitional Species: - Descent with modification states that newer
species are modified versions of older species- Fossil record contains the intermediates
AnatomyVestigial organs - a group of organs with no
particular use now but may have been useful in ancestors (tailbone coccyx or hip bones in whales)
Anatomy cont.Homologous Structures:
body parts that are similar in structure may have different functions Indicating at some point
way in the past they did the same job and came from a common ancestor
Anatomy cont.Analogous
Structures: same functions but different development ex. a butterfly wing
and a bat wing Indicates that
populations evolved to be better suited to the environment
Homework Whales in Transition.
Chromebook Assignments: Make sure that both Assignments are in Assignment Folder & The survey is completed.Syllabus Scavenger HuntPeppered Moth Lab
Warm-up 2/18What is the difference between Homologous
and Analogous Structures?Which shows divergent evolution and which
shows convergent evolution?What is differential reproduction?
Make sure to glue Whales in Transition into your notebook.
Evidence for Evolution Part b (continuation of Thursday’s notes)
BiogeographyCertain animals in one location share similar
traits (I.E. marsupials in Australia)
Embryology Similar likenesses in
embryos of organisms is evidence of descent with modification
Biological Molecules DNA RNA ProteinsSimilar proteins means similar DNAThe longer it’s been since they shared a
common ancestor the more differences in protein

Due FridayWe will also have a quiz on Friday.
