Attempts to show evolutionary relationships among living and once-living organisms
phylogenetics
diagram showing patterns of shared characteristics among species, show evolutionary relationships
cladogram
what are other names for a cladogram
polygenetic trees
classification trees
Name the 4 lines of evidence we use to show evolutionary relationships
DNA
Fossils
Anatomy
Embryology
DNA
comparing Amino Acid sequences of common proteins
Fossils
used to fill in the gaps, give us a time
ANATOMY
Homologous Structures
Similar structure, different function, from a common ancestor
ATATOMY
Analogous Structures
Different structure, similar function, NOT from a common ancestor
ANATOMY
Convergent Evolution
unrelated species that develop similar characteristics overtime
ANATOMY
Divergent Evolution
Involves species with a common ancestor that change to become increasingly different overtime
ANATOMY
Vestigal Structures
Various cells, tissues, and organs in a body which no longer function in the same way the ancestral form of the trait functioned
ANATOMY
Activisms
A genetic trait that reoccurs after skipping several generations
Embryology
comparison of embryo formation and structures
Stage of development in a multi-cellular organism
Embryology
unicellular colonial and multicellular
Protista
multi-cellular
Animal
No nucleus
Eubacteria
Archaebacteria
Has a nucleus

Archaebacteria Cell Wall
WITHOUT peptidoglycan
Protista Cell wall
cellulose
