Final Jeopardy
A shark is an example of this type of fossil
2
3
Living Fossil
4
This is a picture of what type of fossil?
5
Mold Fossil
6
What type of traits are considered “primitive” (ex. Teeth)?
7
Ancestral Traits
8
From the video “Great Transformations,” you saw fossils that were discovered in Greenland of the first ___________.
9
tetrapods
10
.What geologic era do the first fossils show up?
11
Cambrian
12
Which structures are not inherited from the same ancestor, but are similar in structure and function?
13
Analogous Structures
14
What type of structures do these pictures show?
15
Homologous Structures
16
This is a picture of what type of structure?
17
Vestigial Organ
18
Bird wings and butterfly wings are considered what
type of structures?
19
Analogous Structures
20
These structures may become smaller over time if
there is no function for them.
21
Vestigial Structures
22
Embryos exhibit what type of structures during certain phases of development?
23
Homologous Structures
24
In fish, the pharyngeal pouches in the embryo
become what in the adult fish?
25
Gills
26
What does comparative embryology suggest about
evolution?
27
That vertebrates evolved from a shared ancestor

32
Which molecules are studied in comparative biochemistry?
33
DNA, RNA, and Proteins
34
Cytochrome c is a protein that is highly
“conserved.” What does this mean?
35
This means that it has changed very little over
millions of years of evolution
36
Why is your DNA 50% the same as a
bananas?
37
Because all of the genes for making new cells, replicating
DNA and making the proteins required for regular
cell functioning are very similar.
38
What is the name for the branch of science that uses
computers to analyze biological information?
39
Bioinformatics
40
From the video “Great Transformations,” what genes showed a strong evolutionary
conservation? (What were these genes responsible for?)
41
Genes for Body Plan – that set up the structure
of animals
42
What is this picture showing?
43
Island Colonization
44
Which animals did Darwin observe during his South American trip
that made him think about geographical
distribution?
45
The mara, compared to the English rabbit.
46
Why do plants have more diversity than animals?
47
Plants can more easily migrate to distant places and colonize – that is one
reason why invasive species are so dangerous!
40
What is the term used to describe the study of migration and distribution of plants and animals around the world?
49
Biogeography
50
How do Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift play a role in formation of new species?
51Evolution is intimately linked with climate and geological forces, especially plate tectonics, which helps explain many ancestral relationships and geographic distributions seen in fossils and living organisms today.
52
Explain what natural selection predicts about mimicry,
camouflage, homologous structures, and vestigial
structures.
