Segmentation
Can be fused into specialized functional regions
Is seen in insects, worms, and their relatives
Is important in the evolution of increasing organismal disparity
Is seen in the Cnidaria (jellyfish and friends)
Is seen in vertebrates (animals with backbones, like you)
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: Organization You have seenmany examples of how form fits function at all levels of thebiological hierarchy. However, we can imagine forms thatwould function better than some forms actually found innature. For example, if the wings of a bird were not formedfrom its forelimbs, such a hypothetical bird could fly yet alsohold objects with its forelimbs. In a short essay (100–150words), use the concept of “evolution as tinkering” to explainwhy there are limits to the functionality of forms in nature.
You 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. Give an example of an analogous structure from this activity:
Vestigial structures are anatomical remnants that were important in the organism's ancestors
but are nolonger used in the same way.
3. Give an example of a vestigial structure from this activity:

- Please help to answer with explanation: Cnidaria (jelly fish) have neuromuscular (nerve net) cells in their ectoderm. These cells are important in evolution because they represent cells specializing to become a) the lungs, b) the cells forming a specialized tissue. c) the first tissue to perform photosynthesis d) tall are true, e) none are true.arrow_forwardJay Guide The human embryo and the embryos of other animals with backbones have gill slits.

Embryos go through various stages that suggest the animal’s evolutionary process. Embryos are frequently fossilized and illustrate change over time. Embryos provide evidence for which life forms existed at the same time. Embryos contain the code for all life on Earth.arrow_forward
