Evidences For Evolution Flashcards
Concrete evidences of evolution
Fossils
Embryology
Anatomical evidences
Biochemical
Biogeography
Remnants of once living
Fossils
The anatomy and development of organism
Anatomical Evidences
Similar structures in different species
Homologous structures
Different in appearance but have the similar function
Analogous structures
Evidence for evolutionary change
Vestigial structures
Organs that were functional but remnants today
Coccyx (tail bone)
Ear muscles
Appendix
Wisdom teeth
Genes are located in the chromosomes, which are made of DNA
DNA/Nucleic Acids
Molecules that are used to build up and repair body parts
Protein
Study of the geographic distributions of the organism
Biogeography
Who believed that the group of organisms in each island is adapted to a distinct way of life
Darwin
This finding supports descent from a common ancestors
Biochemical
Study of the development of the anatomy of an organism to its adults
Embryology
An organism in its initial phases of development
Embryo
All vertebrates have a supporting dorsal rod
Notochord
