Fossil record Layers of sedimentary rock contain fossils
new layers cover older ones, creating a record over time
fossils within layers show that a succession of organisms have populated Earth throughout a long period of time

Analogous structures
Separate evolution of structures similar functions similar external form different internal structure &
development different origin no evolutionary relationship
Solving a similar problem with a similar solutionSolving a similar problem with a similar solution
Don’t be fooledby their looks!

AP Biology
Convergent evolution Flight evolved in 3 separate animal groups
evolved similar “solution” to similar “problems” analogous structures
Does this mean they have a
recent common ancestor?

AP Biology
Convergent evolution Fish: aquatic vertebrates Dolphins: aquatic mammals
similar adaptations to life in the sea
not closely related
Those fins & tails & sleek bodies are
analogous structures!

AP Biology
Parallel Evolution Convergent evolution in common niches
filling similar ecological roles in similar environments, so similar adaptations were selected
but are not closely related

Vestigial organs Modern animals may have structures that
serve little or no function remnants of structures that were functional in
ancestral species deleterious mutations accumulate in genes for
non-critical structures without reducing fitness snakes & whales — remains of pelvis & leg bones of
walking ancestors eyes on blind cave fish human tail bone
This is not LaMarck’s loss from “disuse”!

Vestigial organs Hind leg bones on whale fossils
Why would whaleshave pelvis & leg bones
if they were alwayssea creatures?

AP Biology
Comparative embryology Similar embryological development in
closely related species all vertebrate embryos have similar
structures at different stages of development gill pouch in fish, frog, snake, birds, human, etc.

Comparing DNA & protein structure universal genetic code!
DNA & RNA compare common genes
cytochrome C (respiration) hemoglobin (gas exchange)
Closely related species have sequences that are more similar than distantly related species DNA & proteins are a molecular
record of evolutionary relationships

Building “family” treesClosely related species (branches) share same line of descent until their divergence from a common ancestor

AP Biology
Artificial selection Artificial breeding can use variations in
populations to create vastly different “breeds” & “varieties”
“descendants” of the wolf
“descendants” of wild mustard

Natural selection in action Insecticide &
drug resistance insecticide didn’t
kill all individuals resistant survivors
reproduce resistance is inherited insecticide becomes
less & less effective
