Тhеге аге ___ t ___ majoг types of evidence that suppoгt evolution. 1. II. Fossil evidence Iooks at fossils." These аге are the fossilized гemains of inteгmediaгy foгms of Iife. Scientists use these fossils to Iink new species with old species. А second type of evidence is anatomical evidence. This compaгes the way oгganisms аге put togetheг. i. If you examine the агm of а human and the fin of а dolphin you сап see that the num bf!' с and огdег of the in these Iimbs аге very similaг. Biologists would say stгuctures. These types of stгucture show that that these Iimbs are ovS these oгganisms shared а Comryн?t"' ancestoг (ех. arms, wings, flippeгs). stгucture is one that has no function but is still found in the oгganism (wha е pelvis/ human appendix). iii. stгuctures show features that have the same function, but that аге not stгucturally гelated. An example of this would Ье the wing of а Ьiгd and the wing of а fly. but they Both аге used fог sepaгately. III. The thiгd type of evidence, evidence, shows that in еагlу development, human embгyos and he embryos of all otheг vertebrates are stгikingly similar. IV. The foш1h type of evidence is compaгed. evidence. The DNА of oгganisms is гelated species will show тоге similaгities in the DNA sequences. Iike Darwin thought that oгganisms evolved fгom а common ancestor. Unlike Daгwin, thought that traits acquired during а Iifetime (ех: muscles) could Ье passed оп to offspring. Не also believed that if you didn't U .St... it you would Iose it (ех: snakes Iost Iegs since they didn't use them). selection. Darwin came up with 6. The mechanism for Darwin's theoгy of evolution is 10. Тhеге are thгee patteгns of evolution, diveгgent and 1. evolution is the pгocess of two ог тоге гelated species becoming тоге diffeгent. The two spec es came fгom а t.o ancestoг. II. evolution is when unгelated species become тоге similaг in арреагаnсе as they adapt to the same ind of enviгonment. The two species do n12-rancestoг. is when two species ai·e totally dependent оп each otheг and evolve togethe1·. 11. All of the genes ог DNA availaЬ\e to а population is the poplllations 12.

Тhеге аге thгee types of natuгal selection. selection favoгs the aveгage ог inte1·mediate t1·ait/chaгacteгistic (ех: height) selection favoгs one extгeme trait/chaгacteгistic (ех: ant еаtег with long tongue can get тоге ants). , selection favoгs the two extгeme tгaits/chaгacteгistics (white ог bгown shells selected fог, tan 1s selected against) is а gгoup of oгganism that can inteгbгeed and produce viaЬ\e (living) offspгing. 17. .:Set.Li а.."°' Ot"\ is the pгoduction of а new species. It can оссuг because of geogгaphic (the sepaгation of species because of а river, mountain, etc.) 18. Life on Eaгth has continued even afteг devistating catastгophes. The гeason fог this is that with the wide of species that exist some we1·e аЬ\е to sгivive the "catastгophe." Vt,..f"{ t,� Multiple Choice 19.
