- One type of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer near the bottom of a canyon, while a different kind of fish fossil is found only in a rock layer 4,000 feet higher, near the top of the canyon. Which statement would a scientist most likely offer to explain this situation? A.) The fish in the lower layer lived in the deep sea. While the other fish lived in shallow water. B.) The fish in the upper layer lived a healthier life than the other fish. C.) The rock in the lower layer is denser than the rock in the upper layer D.) The rock in the upper layer must have formed in freshwater E.) The fish in the upper layer lived more recently than the other fish. The Geologic Time Scale is a systematic chronological dating process that relates geological strata to time. This methodology is commonly used be geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that once occurred in history. Which of the following statements can be…What Have I Learned So Far? Write True if the statement is true. If false, change the underlined word or phrase to make the statement true. 1. Charles Darwin coined the term “survival of the fittest." Fossils can be used in determining the remains of ancient organisms. 2. 3. Geology is the study of the distribution of plants and animals on Earth. 4. Lamarck proposed the theory of use and disuse. 5. Genetic mutation accounts for evidence of evolution. 6. The theory of acquired characteristics is the concept of Wallace. 7. Vestigial organs are structures that have a particular use before but have no particular purpose for existing animals. 8. The similarities of the embryos of vertebrates indicate a common ancestral domain among them. Biochemical evidence does not provide a solid proof of evolution. 9. 10. Anatomy of animals can be used as evidence of evolution Biodiversity and Systematics: Evolutionary Relationships 179Which is a difference between a forensic anthropologist and a bioarcheologist? a forensic anthropologist looks at the whole crime scene where the bioarcheologist only looks at the skeletal remains a forensic anthropologist builds a biological profile and a bioarcheologist looks at grave goods a forensic anthropologist looks at modern humans and a bioarcheologist looks at fossil hominins a forensic anthropologist works on recent cases where a bioarcheologist looks at sites deep in the past
- Why is it so important to learn about the Piltdown Hoax? Do you think it demonstrates that scientists may lose their objectivity when they want data to fulfill their expectations and desires or does it demonstrate the self-corrective nature of science? Why were people so willing to believethat one of the oldest specimens was found in south England?(1) What is the most common way for a dead organism to avoid decomposition? (2) Why do researchers look for fossils in places that are now dry and barren instead of other places like forests or grasslands? (3) What kind of dating from the lecture or textbook would be the best method for finding the number of years ago when a volcanic rock was formed? (4) Why is the pelvis of a biped shorter and wider than the pelvis of a quadruped? (5) Does the overall shape of Lucy’s pelvis resemble the human pelvis or the chimpanzee pelvis more? Do not think of the size, but compare the outlines of each bone. This is Lucy's skelton below.How do you think researchers and paleontologist determine where fossils of hominins are buried? answer must be at least 300 words in paragraph format
- 15) This is an artist's rendition of Tiktaalik. What features does the organism possess and what does that provide evidence for with respect to evolution?Fact or theory? Organisms that look similar have been observed to have differences when preserved in rocks of different ages.Based on their anatomical and behavioral differences, biologists previously placed humans and chimpanzees in different families, but now DNA sequence data suggest that they are closely related and should be placed in the same family. What are some advantages of using DNA sequences to decide how to classify organisms? What might be some disadvantages?
- You have the chance to use the very first time-machine created by humans. You volunteer to travel 520 million years back in time to collect coastal marine animals. The first organism you encounter is unusual looking and does not resemble any extant organism you know. You notice that the body is segmented, and the segments are not identical. You also notice that the organism has well developed eyes and one pair of long antennae. Their jointed appendages are branched but unequal in size and have various shapes. Moreover, the body appears to be rigid and covered dorsally with numerous spines. Try to classify this organism (e.g., its phylum) based on its appearance and describe its symmetry. Then speculate on its ecology, likely life history (reproduction), and key developmental features. The second organism that you encounter is fixed to the substrate, firm, and has fan shape with finger like projections. It is brightly colored. As you observe it, a few branches of the fan break off. You…1) In one paragraph, explain in your opinion, Why do you think the Theory of Evolution is so controversial? 2) In one paragraph, explain in your opinion, discuss your own ideas and also those that you can find by researching online.You have seen many examples of how form fits function at all levels of the biological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms that would function better than some forms actually found in nature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formed from its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet also hold objects with its forelimbs. Describe the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explain why there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.
