What is the common ground between evolutionary biologists and developmental biologists who have adopted the perspective known as Evo Devo?
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?
What makes development evolution different from species evolution?

- 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.arrow_forwardThere are two hypotheses to explain the pattern of Human Evolution: 1) Progressive Evolution of a Single Lineage ; 2) Evolutionary Radiation Which of these hypotheses are supported by evidence, and briefly explain why? Please explain in detailsarrow_forwardMost of what we know about animal development comes from studies in model organisms like C. elegans and D. melanogaster. Why are these studies useful for learning about human development? O a) The genes involved in development are evolutionarily conserved O b) Genes that are active in development of other animals are not likely to be active in human development Oc) Studies in model organisms are not useful for understanding human development O d) All animal development is the exactly same, including human developmentarrow_forward
- Darwin's concept of evolution "the theory of decent with modification through variation and natural selection" can best be demonstrated by which of the following examples? a. A giraffe stretches his neck to reach higher branches. The exercise of stretching up strengthens the muscles in the giraffe's neck and legs. This ability to stretch is also seen in the giraffe's offspring. b. A monkey accidentally drops her fruit in the salty water of a bay. She recovers the fruit and eats it. She discovers the fruit is cleaner and tastes better after it has been in the salty water. She continues to wash the fruit in the bay before eating it. Her offspring see what she has done and also wash their fruit in the salty water. Soon, the whole population of monkeys is washing their fruit. c. Several turtles hatch from a clutch of eggs buried in the sand on a beach. One of the turtles is the color of the sand; the others are darker in color. The turtles scurry toward the water,…arrow_forwardBriefly explain what convergent evolution is.arrow_forwardQuestion 4 Which of the following is not a statement of von Baer's laws? Less general characters develop from the more general, until finally the most specialized appear. The general features of a large group of animals appear earlier in development than do the specialized features of a smaller group. C) All of the above are Statements of von Baer's laws. D The early embryo of a higher animal is never like a lower animal, but only like its early embryo. E) The embryo of a given species, instead of passing through the adult stages of lower animals, departs more and more from them.arrow_forward
- Evolution in Humans 1) explain what evolutionary mechanisms are involved in creating variation in populations 2) define homology and analogy and discuss examples of eacharrow_forwardHow can evolution proceed by a change in the pattern of a species’ development?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is NOT true about evolution? Group of answer choices A-Evolution has been supported by a mounting body of genetic evidence B-Humans share a recent common ancestor with other primates C-The main principle of the theory of evolution is the simple fact that humans evolved from monkeys D-The theory of evolution has been tested and subjected to verification through accumulated evidence (and has not been disproved) E-Evolution can be studied at the microevolutionary or macroevolutionary levelarrow_forward
- Evolution in Humans: 1) describe several techniques that paleontologists today use to establish fossil age 2) describe how tracking changes in DNA sequence among related organisms can be used to create a migration maparrow_forwardExplain why genetic drift causes evolutionary change but does not produce adaptationsarrow_forwardWhy are fruit flies good subjects with which to observe the process of evolution through natural selection? Fruit flies are good subjects because they have very long generations, and scientists can control their development over long periods of time. Fruit flies are good subjects because they have short generations and scientists can control their development in the lab. Fruit flies change into different species of flies each generation, so they have more features to study. Fruit flies are K-strategists, and these are easier to study over short periods of time.arrow_forward
