Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The evolution is a process in which the changes that occur in an organism’s characteristics in a population with time. Evolution explains the way living beings have changed over long period of time and have become the way they are.

- Both humans and chimpanzees have large brains and well developed eyes. Chimpanzees and humans are also clearly close relatives. These similarities between chimpanzees and humans could best be described as; Homologous traits The products of many years of convergent evolution Homoplasies Analogous traitsarrow_forwardMany species of mammals have complex eyes that are capable of sight. The function of sight is a result of the structure of the eye, the nervous system, and the brain. Removing one of these structures from an organism disrupts the function of sight. Therefore, sight would be best described as an example of a(n) . Group of answer choices Biological Hierarchy Function Defining Structure Emergent Property Evolution by Natural Selectionarrow_forwardThe two primates shown below both exhibit large eye orbits. One is a tarsier, the other is an owl monkey (the only nocturnal platyrrhine). Why do these primates share the trait for large eyes? Mark the best answer. Group of answer choices Random mutations, since having large eyes is abnormal in these species of primate. Convergent evolution, since both separately evolved large eyes to adapt to a nocturnal activity pattern. Both inherited this trait from their common ancestor, which was also nocturnal with large eyes. Unclear, cannot determine from the information given.arrow_forward

Real-World Example; An animal that you can see this evidence for evolution in is.. Picture/Diagram Sourcesarrow_forwardWhich observation is NOT an evidence for Darwin's theory of common descent? Group of answer choices There are biogeographic patterns in the distribution of species, for instance distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble. Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a common ancestor. There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms representing several distinct vertebrate groups. Due to innate drive to improve, parts that are extensively used becomes larger and stronger and passed on to the next generation as seen on fossil records.arrow_forwardThe similar appearance between elephants and mammoths is likely a product of: convergent evolution divergent evolution artificial selection parallell evolution artificial evolutionarrow_forward
- hat I Can Do The evolution of man is one of the most fascinating discussion and discovery in the field of science. Humans as the race that have dominated the Earth and seem to be at the center of it have evolved greatly. Observe the illustration on the left. The common ancestor of the primates like chimpanzees and humans might look like a primitive primate with four limbs on which the forelimbs are used to hang on trees. After some time, the emergence of humans has marked a great change on the history of life on Earth. In your point of view as a senior high school STEM student, are humans still evolving? Provide evidences for your answer.arrow_forwardPart A Sort the examples into the appropriate bins. development of pesticide resemblance of island species to resistance in insects nearby mainland species Submit discovery of bones from many different dinosaur species observation of natural selection in action changes in average beak size in finches following dry or wet years My Answers Give Up fossil record same genetic language of DNA and similar genes in yeasts, fruit flies, and humans transitional forms that link whales with land-dwelling ancestors that are now extinct similar forelimb anatomy in different species of mammals biogeography unique collection of marsupial mammals in Australia anatomical and molecular homologies reset ? helparrow_forwardIn many ways, modern human lifestyles are at odds with our bipedal locomotion. At no point in history have humans been as inactive as today (especially in developing nations), which has led to a number of physical ailments, such as obesity, loss of mobility, and low back pain. What are some other impacts of evolution on our species? What are some ways we can alleviate these problems?

- Which of the following pieces of evidence would best support the argument that humans are more evolutionarily related to fish than they are to insects? All these organisms require oxygen to survive. The earliest fish fossils are found in the lowest strata of sedimentary rocks, followed by insects, and then humans. The early stages of embryo development in fish and humans look strikingly similar while insects develop very differently compared to both fish and humans. Fossils of ancient fish and human ancestors have been discovered in the same sedimentary rock layers.arrow_forwardTrue or False: The presence of vestigial structures in humans (such as tailbones) provides support for an evolutionary hypothesisarrow_forwardHuman embryos have tails which become tail bones before birth. Tails also appear in fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals Humans also have hair and produce milk to nourish the young, which is unique to mammals. What does this indicate? a close evolutionary connection between humans and many other mammals a very distant evolutionary connection between humans and many other mammals a very distant evolutionary connection between humans and many other reptiles a close evolutionary connection between humans and many other reptilesarrow_forward
