Evidences for Evolution Flashcards
Ernst Haeckel
Michael Richardson
Drew fake sketches of embryos
Proved all the sketches fraudulent
Gill slits Pharyngel pouches Vestigial organs Yolk sac Embryonic tail
Supposed to come from fishes Useless organs Give food to the body Produce red blood cells b4 bone marrow Becomes the tailbone of the spine
Linnaeus and Cuvier
Not evolutionists classes of animals (creation)
Analogous structures
Homologous Structures
Structures for the same or similar tasks or similar environment; convergent evolution
Similar structures for different tasks believed to be related; divergent evolution
Convergent evolution
Divergent Evolution
Is becoming more alike
Is Becoming less alike
Pleiotrophy
Cytochrome C
Phylogenetic trees
Plasmid (horizontal gene) transfer
The idea that one gene affects many others
Disproves some of the phylogenetic trees
Supposed ancestor tress coming from different physical traits
Bacteria passing DNA to others at the same level
Chromosomes
Triplet or codons
Start and stop codons
genes
Made of DNA and protein
“Words” code for a.a.
Punctuation beginning and end
The codons in one protein “sentences”
“Junk” DNA or “pseudongenes”
Endogenous retroviruses
ENCODE projects
Mutation
Parts of the human genome that are thought to have no part in the production or making of proteins
Junks DNA in my chromosomes
Study for Jin DNA in the human genome finding 93% is significant and thought to be 100% if further studied
Added or subtracted genes, gain or loss in genetic info
