For each organism list an adaptation and its function:a. spiderb. turtlec. crabEvolution is a branching processDefine:AncestorCladogramQ. Use the diagram below to make a cladogram with the following organisms; human, snake, chimpanzee, and mouse. Explain the reasoning for your placement.Chapter 11.1 Evidence for Evolution (TB pp. 214-220).An Evolutionary Timeline Questions:1. How old do scientists believe the earth is?2. When did life first appear on earth? What type of cells?3. When did the first humans appear?4. When did the first multicelluar organisms appear?5. List one other important event from the timeline.Chapter 11.1 Evidence for Evolution (TB pp. 214-220)Lines of EvidenceDefine:Homologous StructuresAnalogous StructuresVertebratesQuestion:1. How do similarities in the bones of humans, porpoises, birds, and elephants provide evidence for evolution?FossilsDefine:FossilFossil recordQuestions:1. Why are there gaps in the fossil record?2. In which layer in the diagram at right will you find the youngest fossils? The oldest?Chapter 11.2 How Evolution Works (TB pp. 222-225)The finches of the GalapagosQ.1. What was Darwin’s hypothesis about the finches on the islands? Darwin’s theory of evolution and natural selectionDefine:Natural selectionQ. 1. What are 3 variables that affect the size of a population?The process of natural selectionQ. 1. List the four steps of natural selection. Chapter 11.3 Natural Selection (TB pp. 227-230)MutationsQ. 1. What do random mutations produce?The importance of genetic variationDefine:Genetic variationQ.1.
