Evidences of Evolution

Cards (32)

  • Fossils are preserved remains or traces of organisms from past geological periods, found in rocks.
  • Geographical Evidence (Biogeography):
    Geographical distribution of various life forms on Earth.
  • Analogous structures are similar structures in organisms without shared ancestry. These structures evolved independently to serve the same purpose.
  • HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES are common features in the structures of different organisms.
  • Fossil Reconstruction
    The bones from fossils are assembled and a detailed drawing or reconstruction is made of the skeleton.
  • Fossils:
    FOSSILS are mineralized/ hardened traces of dead organisms most found in layers of sedimentary rocks.
  • VESTIGIAL STRUCTURES
    A vestigial structure is an anatomical feature or behavior that no longer seems to have a purpose in the current form of an organism
  • Biochemical Evidence :(Molecular) DNA, Amino Acids, Cytochrome C are similar in related organisms
  • Embryology: An EMBRYO is an unborn animal in its earliest phases.
  • ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES:
    HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES are common features in the structures of different organisms.
