Chapter 20, Problem 9TYU
FOCUS ON EVOLUTION

- Which method provides the most accurate evidence for scientists to use when determining evolutionary relationships between two species of animals? identifying fossil patterns in rock strata where the animals live looking for similarities in the coloration and eating habits of the animals looking for similar vestigial structures in both species of animals comparing genetic sequences in the animals using samples of DNA 0000.arrow_forwardCLASSIFICATION AND EVOLUTION Caminalcules are imaginary animals invented by the evolutionary biologist Joseph Camin. In this lab exercise, you will construct an evolutionary tree of the Caminalcules using both the "living" species and the additional 57 "fossil" species. This illustrates how modern classification schemes attempt to reflect evolutionary history. In the process of doing this exercise you will be introduced to concepts such as convergent evolution and vestigial structures. The Phylogeny of Caminalcules Using a large sheet of paper or long size bond paper, construct a phylogenetic tree for the Caminalcules. Use a meter stick or ruler to draw 20 equally spaced horizontal lines on the paper. Each of the horizontal line will be used to indicate an interval of one million years. Label each line so that the one at the bottom of the paper represents an age of 19 million years and the top line represents the present (0 years). 1. Cut out all the Caminalcules (including the living…arrow_forwardWhich of the following is evidence that supports Darwin's theory of common descent? (Choose all that apply) There are patterns in the fossil record that suggest some species have diverged from a single ancestral species There are biogeographic patterns in the distribution of species, for instance, distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble one another, s ancestor There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms in several distinct vertebrate groups. Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a co Similar anatomical features in different organisms always indicated close common ancestryarrow_forward
- Match the correct label to locations A, B and C on the figure below. Evolutionary history, or phylogeny, is represented visually by a phylogenetic tree. Trees have a common structure, with a root, nodes, and branches. To determine evolutionary relationships among living or extinct organisms, consider the most recent common ancestors.
