    The text discusses five main types of evidence that support the theory of evolution: fossils, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, and molecular biology. Each is described and examples are provided.

    The five main types of evidence for evolution discussed are fossils, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, biogeography, and molecular biology.

    Comparative anatomy provides evidence for evolution by comparing the structures of different organisms and showing how structures in common ancestors have changed or remained similar over time in descendants. Homologous structures show common ancestry.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1.  You will research the following:
    •Fossils
    •Comparative Anatomy
    •Comparative Embryology
    •Biogeography
    •Molecular Biology
    2. Your project should include descriptions of each as well as two examples.
    4. Be sure that your project:
    •is your own work and all text is written in your own words
    •includes citations of all resources used for your research
    •is presented in a way that is neat, organized, and clear
    •complete sentences should be used in all written descriptions and explanations
     
    Fossils
    THIS IS A FOSSIL OF AN ANCIENT FISH YOU COULD SEE
    WHERE THE FISH HAD LITTLE HANDS AND THE MODERN
    DESCRIPTION FISH DOES NOT.

    Fossils are remains or traces of


    ancient organisms that are not
    organisms themselves but rocks.
    Preserved remains become fossils
    after about 10,000 years. Fossils
    can be microscopic or humongous.
    Comparative Anatomy
    THIS IMAGE IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURE WHICH
    DESCRIPTION COMPARES THE ANATOMY OF THE ORGANISMS. THESE ORGANISMS
    HAVE SIMILAR BODY PARTS BUT HAVE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS.

    In my opinion, comparative anatomy


    is when two organisms with a
    common ancestor are compared to one
    another to show changes or
    similarities or structures which refers
    to homologous structures.
    Comparative Embryology
    THIS EXAMPLE SHOWS FOUR DIFFERENT ORGANISMS'
    DESCRIPTION EMBRYO BEING COMPARED TO ONE ANOTHER AND ARE
    LIKELY DERIVED FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR.
    Another example is how humans are also
    in my opinion, comparative closely related to other organisms but have
    different functions for similar body parts
    embryology is when infants of
    different organisms are compared to
    one another to see similarities and
    differences. With the development of
    technology scientist were able to see
    these closely related embryos develop.
    Biogeography
    IN THIS IMAGE IT SHOWS HOW THE CONTINENTS STARTED
    DESCRIPTION TO DRIFT APART AND THE SPECIES OF PLANTS AND
    ANIMALS GOT SEPARATED AND ENDED UP ADAPTING TO
    THEIR SURROUNDINGS THAT IS WHY PENGUINS IN THE
    The study of the geographical distribution NORTH COULD BE THE SAME SPECIES BUT HAVE
    DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS FOR EACH BODY PART.
    of organisms. In my opinion,
    biogeography is the study of similar
    ancient organisms and or modern
    organisms in different continents. Which
    also led to the theory of continental drift,
    saying that all the continents where once a
    super continent.
    Molecular Biology
    THIS IMAGE IS AND EXAMPLE OF THE SAME GENE
    DESCRIPTION TRANSLATION WITH OTHER ORGANISMS .

    In my opinion molecular biology is the


    study of evolution through DNA or
    genes.
