Summary Introduction
To describe: The genetic changes that may lead to the evolution of new morphological forms.
Introduction: Evo-devo indicates the combination of developmental and evolutionary biology. It describes that the major morphological changes can occur between species, when there is a slight variation in the developmental genes. Evolutionary change in the developmental rates is called heterochrony and the spatial arrangement of body parts are controlled by homeotic genes.

- How, specifically, is the concept of ALLOMETRY relevant to the phylogenetic position of Homo floresiensis? Because if allometry explains the anatomy of Homo floresiensis then we can conclude that it is not separate species but instead a member of our species. Although most mammals on islands go through a process of getting smaller, Homo floresiensis evolved from a smaller ancestor to be bigger, meaning that allometry is an important factor. Mutations in the allometry allele are associated with many of the characteristics of Homo floresiensis. Because Homo floresiensis is so much smaller than other members of the genus Homo, it is important to determine how shape changes associated with smaller size impacted the species. Because Homo floresiensis had both small- and large-bodied forms, variation within the species is in large part dictated by allometry.arrow_forwardThe Manx cat is in the domestic cat group, and the bobcat is in the lynx group.

- In the early nineteenth century, the French scientist Georges Cuvier provided conclusive evidence of the extinction of species on Earth. Although Cuvier correctly asserted that a series of catastrophes led to these extinctions, he could not provide a testable explanation of the source of the new animals and plants that appeared after the extinction of older forms. How would you argue that modern evolutionary theory provides an explanation for the proliferation of new forms of life after mass extinctions?arrow_forwarda) Is Figure 1 a cladogram, phylogram, or chronogram? b) According to Figure 1, all bears share a common ancestor with what group of mammals? c) What pair of bear species diverged most recently? d) The ancestor of what species of bear diverged the earliest from the ancestor of all other bears?arrow_forwardIn what ways can an evolutionary trend develop during the history of a genus or a family?arrow_forward
