AP Bio - Evidence for Evolution Flashcards

9495031514	Paleontology	Fossil deposits show older organisms at deeper sediment levels and younger organisms at higher sediment levels. Gradual and rapid change can be observed over time.	0
9495031515	Biogeography	Unrelated organisms in different regions show great similarity (due to natural selection).	1
9495031516	Embryology	Similary stages in development among related species. These help establish evolutionary relationships.	2
9495031517	Homologous Structures	Body parts that resemble one another in different species because they have evolved from a common ancestor.	3
9495031518	Analogous Structures	Body parts that resemble one another in different species because they evolved independently as adaptations to their environment.	4
9495031519	Molecular Biology	Similarities in gene sequences indicate evolutionary relationships.	5
