Explain. ‘SAN PEDRO RELOCATION CENTER NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL - SCIENCE DEPARTMENT € 2020, © peer TALK) an When Charles Darwin frst proposed the idea that all new species descend from an ‘ancestor, he performed an exhaustive amount of research to provide as much evidence as possible. \ Today, the major pieces of evidence for this theory can be broken down into the FOSSIL RECORD, EMBRYOLOGY, BIOGEOGRAPHY, COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, and MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. Fossils are formed when organisms become buried in sediments, causing litle decomposition ofthe organism. As time progresses various sedimentary layers get deposited, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest an the top. Fossils ate also formed through freezing, being embedded in amber, preserved in tar, or even footprints and imprints. By observing the appearance, abundance and types of fossils in each of these layers we can understand the progression of the species that ved in that location aver time Early fossils are fairy simple organisms, while later fossts become increasingly complex. This supports our more recent understanding of genetics and evolution: new alleles and genes develop from existing genes by mutation, and it seems unlikely that more complex organisms (hose with many different genes) would develop fist and then become more simple (having fewer genes). Fossil records are supported by other evidence. EMBRYOLOGY Embryology is the study of the development, structure and function of embryos. When comparing vertebrate embryos in the ealy stages of development, you will see stiking similarities. Even species that bear litle resemblance in thei adult frm may have stikinaly similar embryonic stages. ‘When looking at humans we see thatthe ‘embryo passes through a stage in which thas gil structures tke those of the fish from which all terrestrial animals evolved. Fora large portion of its development the human embryo also has a tal. This tail is usually reabsorbed before bith, Gills could be considered homologous traits between humans and fish: in humans the parathyroid glands (endocrine glands in your neck) develop from the branchial arches. In fish, a gene called Gom-2 controls the development of branchial arches into gis. ifthe gene mutates then the gis fail to develop. ‘The development of mammals, sh, reptiles and birds are linked tothe branchial arteries Biologists long ago proposed that fish evolved into amphibians, which evolved into reptiles, which evolved into birds, More recent stucies ‘of embryonic development suppor this idea ‘SAN PEDRO RELOCATION CENTER NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL - SCIENCE DEPARTMENT € 2020, © ptrect TALK ¢) All the places where species lve is known as species distribution. When looking closely at distributions itis clear that many unique species occur in isolated pockets or islands. When looking at these unique species through the lens of evolution, we would expect unusual species in isolated areas because isolation is necessary before speciation can occur. ‘The theory ofthe movernent of the Earth's tectonic plates was supported by the distribution of the fossils of particular species. Moving continents also explains why Australia has most ofthe world's marsupials andthe only two ‘monotremes; the platypus and the echidna. The platypus and the echidna are the only two living monotremes in the world. They evolved at a time when Australia became an isolated continent after being separated from Antarctica. 26 Molecular Biology is the study of gene structure and function, Darwin did not know about genes, but scientists today know that mutations in genes are the source of variations upon which natural seletion acs. Genes provide powerful support for evolution. Comparing Sequences: Allvng organisms have genes. Al genes are made of DNA and all genes work in similar ways, This supports the idea that all Iving organisms are related. For example, all organisms have a gene cytochrome ¢, a protein required for celular respiration. Humans and rhesus monkeys, have nearly identical ctochrome c. The more closely related two species are, the more similar their genes and proteins are Divergence: Scientists have found that some stetches of shared DNA mutate at regular, predictable rates. Scienlsts use this ‘molecular clock’ to estate when in the past living species spit from common ancestors. For example, whales and porpoises are more closely related to hippopotamuses than they are to other Iving organisms Whales and hippopotamuses share an ancestor that ived 50-60 milion years ago. ‘SAN PEDRO RELOCATION CENTER NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL - SCIENCE DEPARTMENT € 2020, G DIRECT TALK¢) COMPARATIVE ANATOMY ‘Comparative anatomy compares the structures of organisms ofboth lving species and fossis, Comparisons of anatomical features in iffrent organisms often provide evidence to support the theory of evolution, Organisms are often classed together according to similaties in their structures. It was through comparing the anatomy of organisms that scientists discovered phylogeny, meaning the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. Comparative anatomy includes homologous and analogous structures as well as vestigial features. HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES are body parts of organisms that are similar in structure and position but diferent in function, Humans, cats, frogs, bats and birds look diferent and move in diferent ways, Humans use their arms for balance and their hands to grasp objects. Cats use their forelimbs to walk, run ‘and jump. The forelimbs of bats and birds are wings ‘and are used for flying. Homologous. structures suggest that these species ate related and they ‘evolved from recent common ancestors. en ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES are body parts that sax ee si, perform a similar function but difer in structure, For ‘example, the wings of birds and butterfies are used for flight. But bird wings are covered with feathers. Buttery wings are covered with tiny hairs. Though used for the ‘same function, the wings of birds and butterflies are too different in structure to suggest close common ancestry. Buttery wing Bir wing SS ‘Analogous structures - the fn of shark, the wing cof penguin and the flipper ofa dolphin serve the ‘same function but have diffrent internal anatomy VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES ate body pats that have lost their original function through evolution. Ostrches have ings yet they cannot fy. An ostich’s wings are an example of vestigial structures. Other examples are human appendix, tall bone and wisdom teeth. ‘Whale hes tiny peki boe ons boy, Pais bones are hip bones, which in many species attach the leg bones to the body. Modern whales do not have legs but the pelvic bones suggest that whales came from ancestors that used legs for walking on land, The fossil evidence supports this condusion, Many fosss of whale ancestors show a slow loss of legs over rion years and at the same time, whale ancestors became adapted to watery environments. PLATYPUS and DUCK are example of CONVERGENT EVOLUTION. Analogous structures show convergent evolution. This means that organisms evolve similar structures and functions because they live in similar environments. ‘SAN PEDRO RELOCATION CENTER NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL - SCIENCE DEPARTMENT € 2020, 27 FLASH CHECK ‘As you swipe though your news feed in Facebook, you notice that there is an article 7 about evlon.
