Evidence for Evolution
• By Darwin’s time, scientists had noted that all vertebrate limbs had the same basic bone structure.

Common Descent
Common descent – all organisms on this planet come from a single common ancestor
This was from Monday’s vocabulary

Comparing Anatomy and Embryology
– The front limbs of amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals contain the same basic bones.

Homologous
• Darwin proposed that animals with similar structures evolved from a common ancestor with a basic version of that structure.
• homologous structures - Structures that are shared by related species and that have been inherited from a common ancestor

Analogous Structures
Analogous structures – structures that share a common function, but not structure
![Page 10: DO NOW 1. What is fitness? 2. If an organism does not have high fitness what will happen to it? What will happen to its species? 3. In natural selection,](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d0b5503460f949df0c0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Vestigial Structures
Vestigial Structures – structures that have lost much or all of their original function
Vestigial structures/ vestigial genes are some of the strongest evidence for evolution

Vestigial Structures
Dolphins have hip bones that do nothing, heck they aren’t even attached anymore!

Refresher
Proteins are made of amino acids The instructions for making proteins
comes from DNA The flow of information in a cell (any
cell) is DNA -> RNA -> Protein Question:
If the DNA is changed what happens to the protein?

Vestigial Genes
In our Genome (our DNA) we have the genes that code for things our ancestors had, but we no longer need.
These genes have been sitting in our DNA for millions of years
Every once in a while, these genes are expressed.
Because they have been dormant for so long they often do not work very well.
![Page 17: DO NOW 1. What is fitness? 2. If an organism does not have high fitness what will happen to it? What will happen to its species? 3. In natural selection,](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d0b5503460f949df0c0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Atavisms
Atavisms also are called "throwbacks" and can be found in modern horses and their relatives despite millions of years of evolutionary separation from their fossil horse ancestors.

Atavisms
Atavisms are caused because we still have the DNA from our ancient ancestors.

Homologous Molecules
Homologous proteins – proteins that share extensive structural and chemical properties.
That means that they do the same job and look similar.
![Page 21: DO NOW 1. What is fitness? 2. If an organism does not have high fitness what will happen to it? What will happen to its species? 3. In natural selection,](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110322/56649d0b5503460f949df0c0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Homologous Genes
Homologous genes – are genes that perform the same task
These are NO DIFFERENT that homologous alleles

DNA these letters also spell DAN
Everything we are is just an expression of DNA
Your eye for example, is at its core nothing more than thousands of T’s G’s C’s and A’s.
If one of those T’s G’s C’s or A’s is changed then it is possible that the structure of the eye will change as well.
Every time your cells go through mitosis mistakes are made in the DNA
Over time these mistake add up We can actually tell how closely
related to species are by looking only at these mistakes
