Hi, here are some key points we should have picked up from today's lecture
-Evolution is among us and there is alot of proof
-Fossil records of transition species
-Similar embryologic developement
-Similar protien and DNA sequences
-Fossil records show us the ancestral species to today's organisms and how adaptations have slowly changed the population
-They can also show common ansestry in extremely different organisms today, The wrist bone in several mammals are the same to show relation
-Analogous structures
-similar parts of organisms in terms of use but have different internal structure and origin
-NO evolutionary relationship, the species just had similar solutions for similar problems
-Parallel Evolution
-a species fills similar ecological roles in similar environments, so similar adaptations were selected
-not closely related
ex: marsupials in australia and placental mammals elsewhere
-Common ancester millions of years ago, but once separated evolved differently
Hope this helps clear things up!
