Cladogram: Relationships Among Representative Organisms
based on analyzing a cladogram it shows the relationships among representative organisms such as lamprey, tuna, bullfrog, snapping turtle, kangaroo, rhesus monkey, and human. As we analyze, the most primitive were the lamprey since it is the root or the ancestors of the other organisms as the cladogram shows and the most advanced are the humans because they are more modified.

    Evolution and Diversity Lab Reports

    Observations- Throughout the lad we viewed many different organisims and many different traits. This lab takes a look at the three domains Bacteria, Archea, and Eukarya, which contain animals, protists, fungi, bacteria, and plants. And throughout the lab we uncovered what makes each plant different and what makes each animal in a set kingdom different. The results of our observations were recorded and analyzed from the results that follow. Observations of species and their traits that came from either divergent or convergent evolution were recorded and analysis of each kingdom…

    Neil Shubin In Your Inner Fish Analysis

    Over decades, many Americans reject the ideas of evolution and there were many arguments against the theory of human evolution. However, in order to understand how the human developed, we must look at the human evolution. For many centuries, we have been curious about our origins and our human bodies structure. How we got to be the kind of species we are today, such as the way we look; walking upright on two legs, our hands has five fingers, the size of our brain and teeth, and what makes us a unique species. Our animal ancestors have shaped our body structure in many ways, we humans have a lot in common than you might think with apes, reptiles and even fish.…

    There are many examples of body structures that are formed in similar ways during embryonic development and that share similar patterns of bone structure, even though they take on different forms and perform somewhat different functions. These structures are called homologous structures. Homo- means same, and -logous means information, so homologous means “same information”. Homologous structures mean that the animals share a relatively recent common ancestor. 1. Carefully examine the drawings of forelimb skeletons shown in Figure 1 on the next page. Look for similarities in the bones amongst the various animals. 2. Color in the human arm first. Color the bones of the arm (the humerus, ulna, and radius) blue. Color the bones of the hand (the carpal, metacarpals, and phalanges) yellow. 3. Color the corresponding bones in each of the other animals the same color as the human bones. 4. Observe each of the skeletons again, and describe the function of each limb in the table below: Animal human whale cat bat bird crocodile 5. Answer the Summary Questions. Function…

    Order Primate Analysis

    Many processes have taken place to shape humans from the Australopithecus Afarensis to the modern day human also known as the Homo Sapien. As a result, the two defining traits that occurred by taxonomy are the effects of brain size and bipedalism. Humans, like other primates are considered as Order Primates in the Hominidae family and therefore are a prime example of taxonomy when the two diverged into different species. During taxonomy when humans diverged from their ancestors 6 to 7 million years ago, the result is the differences such as walking upright, brain size and overall skeletal structure are prominent due to the divergence of humans and other primates. Although primates and humans both share many anatomical, behavioral and socialization traits the differences are drastic and are all a result of selective pressures.…

    Ecology is the study of how organisms interact within their environment. Every species interacts with its surroundings, whether it’s within their populations, community, ecosystem, etc. In this lab, we will be comparing two different species and how they grow alone as well as together, in the same environment. More specifically, in this lab, we will be dealing with one of the most important ideas in ecology, the niche. Due to this concept, we can study the environmental circumstances the organism can handle, the essential resources it will need to survive, and how it will obtain these resources. “Different species can hold similar niches, and the same species may occupy different niches” (Wikipedia). This could mean that although these two organisms are living in the same environment, they are still capable of growing because it is possible for different species to live in the same niche and share the same limiting resource.…

    Evolution study guide

    Evolutionary theory explains the existence of homologous structures adapted to different purposes as the result of descent with modification from a common ancestor. Similarities and differences among homologous structures help determine how recently species shared a common ancestor. For example the front limbs of reptiles and birds are more similar to each other than either is to the front limb of an mammal. This similarity indicates…

    Primate Evolution Essay

    This article relates to Big Idea 1, that the process of evolution drives the diversity and unity of life. More specifically it falls under the subunit 1B, that organisms are linked by lines of descent from common ancestry. With the discovery of a new primate species more information is found about the evolutionary history of all primates, from monkeys to humans. This ancient primate is connected to the modern day lemur, and could potentially serve as a missing link in the early branches of various lemur species. This connection is based on the idea that all organism are linked by common ancestors, and the identification of species can be determined by these genetic…
