What is Comparative Embryology?
It is the study of how to compare and contrast Embryos.
Who was the first person to study embryos?
Aristotle
A trait that helps organisms survive and reproduce?
Adaptation.
We found the fossils of every species ever?
True/False
False
Types of evidence
Preserved remains of an organism that lived in the past?
Fossils.
What is the goal of Comparative Embryology?
The Goal is to make sense of how embryos develop.
What is the best tool to look at embryos?
A Microscope
Species change gradually over time?
Evolution
Why do offspring inherit adaptations from their parents?
Because they inherit all traits by inheriting the DNA of their parents.
Types of evidence
similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor?
Homologous Structures
What are the traits that all the Animals have in stage 1 of there development?
Gills,Eyes and a Tail.
What is a embryo?
It is a organism in the earliest stage of development.
The process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than the other members of there species?
Natural Selection.
If a habitat area suddenly changed, what is going to happen to the size population of organisms living there?
If a habitat suddenly changed then the size of the population would initially decrease in numbers.
Types of evidence
The study of how to compare and contrast Embryos?
Comparative Embryology.
What were the names of 4/8 of the animals?
Calf,Human,Rabbit,Chick,Hog,Fish,Salamander,
Tortoise.
How many stages are in the development.
The theory that species evolve during short periods of rapid change?
Punctuated Equilibrium
How would organisms in the area change over time if the color of the area changed?
Any organism that was naturally able to blend in would be more likely to survive, the other organisms would be easier for predators to see.
Types of evidence
Using Body fibers to compare relationships with other animals?
DNA Comparing
Which two animals were the same in stage 1?
Fish and Salamander.
Is embryology the same thing as DNA Sequencing?
No
Branching tree?
a diagram that shows how scientists think different groups of organisms are related.
What natural event would allow an organism to change color, and eventually the population to change color over time?
Genetic Mutation
Bonus Question
What is the most Engendered species today.
Vaquitas
