What is Comparative Embryology?
It is the study of how to compare and contrast Embryos.
Who was the first person to study embryos?
Karl Ernst von Baer
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 figure out how different embryos develop and find similarities.
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?
They inherit adaptation form there parents DNA that was passed down.
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 the organisms living there?
The size of the population would decrease.
Types of evidence
The study of how to compare and contrast Embryos?
Comparative Embryology.
How many stages are in the development.
How would organisms in the area change over time if the area's color changed?
The organisms that did not blend in would get eaten and the other organisms that blended in would thrive
Types of evidence
Features of different species that are similar in function but are not used for the same purpose
Analogous structures
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 event in genetics would cause a species of a population to change their color during a period of time?
Genetic Mutation
