Review-What is the difference between pure science and technology? New technology is furthering our understanding of evolution.
7. Biochemistry-Molecular and genetic evidence support fossil and anatomical evidence called molecular clocks • Two closely-related organisms will have similar DNA and RNA sequences. • Genes and proteins with matching sequences.
8. Physiological Adaptations • Changes in an organisms metabolic processes that help survival Bacterial resistance to disease Pesticide resistance in plants
no longer function • carried along with functional DNA • can be clues to a common ancestor • Pseudogenes are sequences providing evidence of evolution.
Breeding behaviors • Month of year • Calls
control the development of specific structures, cell differentiation in embryonic stages or larval stages • Ex. Eye spots of marine worm • Protein comparisons, or molecular fingerprinting reveals similarities among cell types of different organisms. • Homeobox or Hox genes indicate a very distant common ancestor.
Evolution unites all fields of biology. • Scientist from any fields contribute to the understanding of evolution. • The basic principles of evolution are used in many scientific fields.
