Answer 11

Trace fossils

Question 12

Example, foot imprints in mud made by walking on top or tracks made by organisms that burrow on sand or mud.

Answer 12

Trace fossils

Question 13

two types of FOSSIL FORMATION

M___________
C______________

Answer 13

Mineralization
Carbonization

Question 14

This happens when the remains of dead animals are buried in soil, mud, or sediment and minerals in water from the ocean, rain, or river replaced the organism’s original body structure. This mineral hardens into a fossils

Answer 14

Mineralization

Question 15

A fossil forms when a dead organism is compressed overtime and pressure drives off the organism’s liquid and gases, only the carbon outline or film of the organism remains.

Answer 15

Carbonization

Question 16

R____- age dating
A_________- age dating

Answer 16

Relative- age dating
Absolute- age dating

Question 17

determines the relative order in which species have appeared on earth.

Answer 17

Relative- age dating

Question 18

what rock is at the top? the youngest or the oldest?

Answer 18

youngest

Question 19

measure the ratio of unstable isotopes and stable isotopes to find the age of igneous rocks

Answer 19

Radioactive decay

Question 20

used in absolute age dating

Answer 20

Radioactive decay

Question 21

are the body parts of organisms that are SIMILAR IN STRUCTURE and position but DIFF IN FUNCTION

Answer 21

Homologous structures

Question 22

re the body parts of organisms that have the SAME FUNCTION, but DIFF IN STRUCTURE.

Answer 22

Analogous structures

Question 23

are body parts that have lost its original function over time.

Answer 23

Vestigial structures

Question 24

Comparison of Embryos

Embryos of different species resemble each other during embryological development.

Answer 24

Embryology

Question 25

All vertebrate embryos have ___________ pouches.

Answer 25

pharyngeal

Question 26

Comparing DNA sequences. All organisms on earth have genes. All genes are made of DNA, and all DNA follow a certain sequence or code. By comparing genes and proteins of organism’s, scientists can be able to tell how related they are.

Answer 26

Molecular Biology

Question 27

Is a protein found in mitochondria. It is used in the study of evolutionary relationships because most animals have this protein.

Answer 27

Cytochrome- c

Question 28

Humans and _________ __________ have nearly identical cytochrome-c, which prove that they are closely related.

Answer 28

rhesus monkeys

Answer 29

Humans Cyt-c - 104 amino acids Monkey Cyt-c 103 amino acids

Question 30

Why do we need to study evolution and its evidences? G_________ - Used to illustrate earth processes ________ __ ______. - Teaches us about the beginnings and transformations of life itself. E________ A___ - All living organisms inhabited the Earth only during certain time intervals and are reflected in the fossil record in sequence according to each layer of rock sediment E___________ - Help us understand the environment where extinct lifeforms once existed. C______ S______ - Allows paleontologists to reconstruct ancient environments H_____ origins - Paleoanthropologists study hominid fossils to understand the beginnings of human life, from the tools our ancestors used, the food they ate, their physical adaptations, to their social behavior and migration patterns. Our past and future- “History repeats itself” - Leads to discoveries and understanding of Earth’s processes which can benefit mankind.
