Species Embryo (A-F) Describe the Anatomical Changes from Early to Late Stages Human Chicken Rabbit Tortoise Salamander В Fish A Guide Questions: 1. Look again at the six embryos in their earliest stages. Describe the patterns you see. What physical similarities exist between each of the embryos? 2. Does this suggest an evolutionary relationship? Explain how these embryos can be used as evidence of a common ancestor between each of these six organisms.

1. Zoologists refer to morphological and genetic similarities in animals when investigating about their evolutionary relationships, describe how these two methods work and indicate their advantages and disadvantages (at least 2 for each method). 2. Aside from the principles of evolution, a study of the interactions of organisms with their environment is also significant in understanding Zoology. Give at least two significances of studying ecology in relation to understanding animals.
15. Flying squirrels, sugar gliders, and colugos are all mammals that glide using a flap of skin between the forelimbs and hindlimbs. They are not closely related and are found in North America, Australia, and Malaysia, respectively. How did they all evolve a similar structure when they are not closely related? 16. Since dinosaurs are now extinct, does that mean that birds (the dinosaurs" closest living relative according to the tree) are also on their way to becoming extinct? Why or why not?

You have now studied three different types of anatomical structures. Homologous structures show individual variations on a common anatomical theme. These are seen in organisms that are closely related. 1. Give an example of a homologous structure from this activity: Analogous structures have very different anatomies but similar functions. These are seen in organismsthat are not necessarily closely related but live in similar environments and have similar adaptations. 2. Give an example of an analogous structure from this activity: Vestigial structures are anatomical remnants that were important in the organism's ancestors but are nolonger used in the same way. 3. Give an example of a vestigial structure from this activity:
