Summarize the evidence regarding the sum of evolutionariy modifications from the given putative ancestor form to the derived descendent. Demonstrate some competence and understanding in terms of the taxa involved(List at least three or four of the genera involved as examples) and the anatomical features that were modified over the generations. Fish to tetrapod, Ungulate to whale, ape-like primate to Homo sapiens

Shows how modern organisms descended from common ancestors Structures that do not serve a function and are similar to those found in earlier organisms 1. Transitional Species Compares the age of fossils to each other based on the layers of rock they are found in 2. Vestigial structure 3. Fossil Record 4. Relative Dating Evidence of gradual change between a new species and its ancestor 5. Radiometric Dating Structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor 6. Homologous Structures uses radioactive elements to narrow down the age of a fossil to a specific period
Define the following terms: divergent evolution, convergent evolution, analogous structures, homologous structures
by studying the limbs and fossils of different animals, such as a horse leg and a human leg, scientists have noticed that there are similarities in their bone structures. this is evidence that their bone structures and limbs may have evolved in similar ways. The scenario is describing a relationship known as causation . The scenario is describing intermediate fossils . The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation . The scenario is describing transitional fossils .
Along comes Dr Phil Bell and deep in the mines of Lightning Ridge, finds an amazingly preserved pterosaur that preserves feathers. He hypothesises that this means that feathers must have evolved before the origin of dinosaurs and therefore must have been primitive. Test this hypothesis using phylogenetic framework and provide a brief explanation of your process and whether or not you support Dr Bell's hypothesis.

A synapomophy is a shared, derived characteristic. This differs from a symplesiomorphy which is a shared_________________ characteristic. Synapomorphie characteristics are used to identify animals that share a common ancestor. For example, _________________share four synapomophic characteristics including a post-anal tail, a _________________ pharyngeal slits, and a dorsal hollow_______________ chord. These characteristics are derived in the MRCA of chordates, but_______________ in mammals.
Identification of different paleospecies in the fossil record: Group of answer choices: all of the options are true is easily established using reproductive isolation as a criterion for distinguishing one species from another. is facilitated by the understanding that most fossil species are ancestral to living (extant) species. is profoundly affected by assumptions of the amount of variation within species.

Vertebrates have tails at some point in their early development. 2. Difference in the beaks of finches found in Galapagos Island compared to those that are found in mainland. 3. Diversification of marsupials and absence of other mammals in Australia. 4. Remnants of ancient ferns that are found in the continents of Africa and South America.
