Warm-Up • Update your Table of Contents for Monday and today – write a reminder about the Evolution Test…study everything you have! • Get your Evidence of Evolution packet out to be checked • Get a whiteboard, marker, eraser
Fact or Crap? • If you believe that the information given on the slide is truthful & accurate simply write FACT on your whiteboard • If you believe that the information given on the slide is NOT accurate information write CRAP on your whiteboard, AND THEN WRITE A CORRECT STATEMENT!
Fact or Crap? • The 4 Principles of Natural Selection are: • Variation • Mutation • Selection • Overproduction
Fact or Crap? • Evolution can be geological or biological
Fact or Crap? • A cheetah preying on the weakest member of the antelope herd is an example of Darwin’s idea of Survival of the Fittest
Fact or Crap? • A good example of evolution would be the leaves on the trees changing every season
Fact or Crap? • Most living things leave a fossil behind
Fact or Crap? • Phenotype means that an organism’s DNA mutates more easily
Fact or Crap? • Vestigial structures are things that may have been useful to an organism’s ancestors, but are no longer used
Fact or Crap? • Similar development of embryos in different species is evidence of a common ancestor
Fact or Crap? • Analogous structures mean that they have the same structure and same function
Fact or Crap? • Biological classification can also be referred to as taxonomy
Homologous, analogous or vestigial? • Homologous: • same structure, different function • evidence of a common ancestor • Analogous: • different structure, similar function • evidence of common environmental demands • Vestigial: • remnants of ancestor, no longer useful
Homologous, analogous or vestigial? • Wisdom Teeth
Homologous, analogous or vestigial? • Remnants of a 3rd eyelid
The Challenge: Homologous, analogous or vestigial? Leaves on a gingko tree • Leaves on an oak tree
Evolutionary trees • That last example was hard to figure out…how would we ever know they have a common ancestor?
Speciation • These speciation events in the evolutionary tree allow for our planet to have greater biodiversity? • What is biodiversity?
