The structures of these body parts are similar, but have changed in function over time due to their environment. 

Homologous Structures 

100

Field of study that compares and contrasts embryos of different species

Comparative Embryology

Larger cells engulfed smaller prokaryotes which then became part of the larger cell. Which theory is this?

Endosymbiosis

100

What organism is most closely related to the pig?

Whale

200

Where are simple and older fossils found?

Bottom

200

Body parts that are non-functional, but past ancestors may have used them. 

Vestigial Structures


200

Which two organisms would you think share a closer common ancestor based on biogeography? The Blue finch and the _______. explain your answer.  

Green Warbler because there is a mountain that divides the other two birds. 

200

What two theories involve in the development of ancestorial prokaryotes becoming Eukaryotes?

Endosymbiosis & Autogenous Theories.

What is the term that has occured at point 3? I am looking for a specific term. 

Extinction. Species are going Extinct.

300

Where are newer and more complex fossils found?

Top

300

Name two barriers that could impact common ancestry when thinking about biogeography.

Mountains, Deserts, Oceans...

300

Why do embryos of different organisms look similar?

Because they share a common ancestor 

300

What is autogenous theory?

The membrane of a single ancestral prokaryotic cell folded inward on itself. 



300

Name the organisms from most closely related least closely related of our unknown organism.

Fossil records suggest that organisms have 

Common ancestry

400

Different structure, same function

Analogous Structures


400

The study of embryology shows similarities during the early development of embryos. Why would you think this occurs? 

They share a common ancestor

400

Endosymbiosis is the believed theory to have created which organelles?

Chloroplast and Mitochondria

During punctuated equilibrium organisms will stay the same and then rapidly evolve due to an event or situational change. What is the period called when they stay the same?

Stasis

500

Which 2 types of structures suggest common ancestry?

Homologous and Vestigial 

500

What factor has change to cause differences in homologous structures across species? If all the species once came from a common ancestor why are the structures now different? 

Their Environment.
