Evolution Movie 3
Darwin and evidence
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| agreed that evolution occurs | Darwin and Lamarck |
| did not think evolution or extinction occurs | Aristotle |
| agreed there are no different ancestors or descendants | Aristotle and Lamarck |
| developed the theory of Acquired Characteristics | Lamarck |
| His work forced Darwin to go public | Wallace |
| developed the theory of natural selection | Darwin |
| develeoped the theory of descent with modification | Darwin |
| who stated "each species is unique, no ancestors, no descendants, no change" | Aristotle |
| organisms develop traits within their lifetime and pass the traits to their offspring | Lamarck |
| who stated "species change over time, but not into different organisms" | Lamarck |
| organisms change over time into different organisms with some going extinct | descent with modification |
| who stated "species have descendents and ancestors different than themselves" | Darwin |
| forms when body parts are covered with sand, soil, or tree sap before they can decay | fossil |
| rocks are in layers; those in lower layers are older than those in top layers | law of superposition |
| compares ages of two fossils; tells which is older | relative age |
| the unstable nucleus of an atom breaks down creating a different element | radioactive isotope |
| the time it takes for half of a radioactive isotope to break down | half life |
| an age measured in years based on radioactive isotopes | absolute age |
| similar structures found in different organisms that have similar function and origin | homologous structures |
| body parts reduced in size or function; may have had an important role in an ancestor | vestigial organ |
| chemicals and the way they are used by the bodies of different organisms | biochemistry |
| study of the early development of an organism | embryology |
| if we say fossil A is older than fossil B because of it's position in rocks we use: | law of superposition |
| if we use radioactive isotope calculations to determine the age of fossil A, we found: | absolute age |
| Carbon-14 and Potassium-40 are: | radioactive isotopes |
| the bones found in the wing of a bat and the hand of a human are: | homologous structures |
| the non functioning eyes of cavefish are examples of: | vestigial organs |
| comparing the proteins used in cellular respiration between two animals uses: | biochemistry |
| comparing the nitrogen base pair sequences between two organisms uses: | genetics |
| if two organisms have an ancestor in common we say they have: | common ancestry |
