Students have asked these similar questions
Many species look similar as embryos. What causes them to appear different as adults? Why does the study of development give insights into evolutionary relationships?
A skeptic of evolution asks the following question – “If humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?” Use your understanding of primate evolution to explain to this individual why their view of primate evolution is skewed. Reference examples.
Compare and contrast systems theory, adaptationtheory, and developmental theory.

- EVOLUTION LINK Charles Darwin once said, It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. Explain what he meant.arrow_forwardGiven homologous structures like a bird’s wing & whale’s flipper and analogous structures like a bird's wing & insect's wing, prove evolution.arrow_forwardScientists compare the structures of a chicken embryo and a human embryo at the same stage of development. They find that both vertebrates have similar shapes and structures, including the presence of gill slits and tails. How is this comparison of the embryos used as supporting evidence of evolution? A. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans are the direct descendants of modern day fish with tails and gill slits. B. The similarities suggest that vertebrates passthrough each of the adult stages of their evoluntionary history as they develop. C. The similarities suggest that vertebrates can undergo genetic changes during development that lead to the evolution of new species D. The similarities suggest that chickens and humans descend from ancestors with genes that code for the development of tails and gill slitsarrow_forward
- In some ways, human development is like that of a sea urchin, in others more like the of a frog, and in other ways more like that of a bird, and even more like that of a dog. Explain in a few sentences how this is true for each of these different animals.arrow_forwardDNA sequences called homeoboxes help homeotic genes in animals direct development. Given that they are common to flies and mice, explain why these animals are so different.arrow_forwardWhy are the similarities among organisms during early development evidence for evolution?

- Kettlewell's experiment is included in most biology texts as an example of evolution How do we know that the moths evolved?arrow_forwardAnswer the following: More recently evolved organisms have modified the stages of embryological development. Would you expect early or late stages to be modified the most? Why? The basic stages of embryological development are remarkably similar for a wide range of organisms. How would you explain such consistency? As cells invaginate and move about, do they “know” where they are? If not, how is movement controlled? If so, how do they perceive their position. Is parental care of a species a factor that affects embryological development? If so, how?arrow_forwardElaine Morgan makes the case that humans may have an aquatic ancestor in recent evolutionary past. Do you agree with Elaine Morgan’s assertion that human evolved in an aquatic environment? Explain.arrow_forward
