Title: Molecules as Evidence of Evolution
Boston University UCLA
Organismal form indicates evolutionary relationships.
A. AlwaysB. OftenC. SometimesD. Never
Learning Goal:
To infer evolutionary relationships by comparing molecular structures and functions among organisms.
Identify evolutionary relationshipsDescribe limitationsDiscover new ways
Construct evolutionary model
Learning Objectives:
Fun with organisms
1. take a moment by yourself to consider how these organisms are evolutionarily related.
2. work in groups of two or three and arrange the images you were given. Organize them according to which ones you think are most closely evolutionarily related.
3. write down all the criteria you used to group these organisms.
Which animal are alligators most closely related to?A.
B.
C.
Lizard
Bird
Bat
Which animal are hippos most closely related to?A.
B.
C.
Whale
Alligator
Rhino
Which organism are moths most closely related to?A.
B.
