Scientists make use of several parameters in order to determine and analyze evolutionary
relationships that exist among living organisms. These parameters are also derived from the
concrete pieces of evidence of evolution. To summ arize the valuable ideas in this module, make
a conceptual table that can simply and clearly present the importance of these parameters in
identifying the underpinning evolutionary relationships among organisms. Complete the following
table below.

. Structure and function is a central theme to the study of biology. Each major group of
organisms has evolved its own body part “tool kit" – a collection of structures that have
evolved in ways that make specific functions possible. From capturing food to digesting
it, and from reproducing to breathing, organisms use structures that have evolved into
different forms as species have adapted to life in different environments. The structure
of wings, for example enable birds and insects to fly. The structures of legs enable
horses to gallop and kangaroos to hop.
a. Think about your own teeth. What kinds of foods do you think human teeth are
suited for?
b. List at least three ways the structure of human teeth serves the function of
eating these food materials.
c. Now, finally apply the theme of structure and function to something you're very
familiar with - your hands. List out all the ways you can think of that the
structure of your hands serve the function of your hands.

Guide Questions:
1. Look again at the six embryos in their earliest stages. Describe the patterns you see. What physical
similarities exist between each of the embryos?
2. Does this suggest an evolutionary relationship? Explain how these embryos can be used as evidence of
a common ancestor between each of these six organisms.

The data may be counts or measurements or lists of species or may take many other forms; however, it is very common that biological data can be represented numerically. Raw data are often too repeti- tive and boring to be appreciated directly. They need to be sta- tistically summarized. The most ordinary way to get started on summarizing data is to enter them in a spreadsheet, such as Excel. Excel also allows one to graph data and do simple analyses. Today and in future labs, you will use Excel in these statistical exercise sections; today we will focus on how to cre- ate and use a spreadsheet. We will start with data gathered by Hollie Putnam, a stu- dent interested in understanding how water temperature af- fected the growth of coral. To determine this, Hollie took cor- als from their native habitat, where the average water tempera- 1 2 3 4 5 Create an Excel file with the data in the lab…arrow_forwardYou have now studied three different types of anatomical structures. Homologous structures show individual variations on a common anatomical theme. These are seen in organisms that are closely related. 1. Give an example of a homologous structure from this activity: Analogous structures have very different anatomies but similar functions. These are seen in organismsthat are not necessarily closely related but live in similar environments and have similar adaptations. 2.
