Question
Background
When Charles Darwin first proposed the idea that all new species descend from an ancestor, he performed an
exhaustive amount of research to provide as much evidence as possible. Today, the major pieces of evidence for this
theory can be broken down into the fossil record, embryology, comparative anatomy, and molecular biology.
There are 4 areas of evidence for evolution.
Fossil
Anatomical
Molecular
Embryological
You can remember this as F.A.M.E

Answer
Anatomy
There are 3 different types of evidence in Anatomy that help us understand evolutionary relationships between different organisms.
Please match the description with the functions.
(3 points)
Vestigial Structures Analogous structures Homologous structures
Structures like the human tailbone, appendix, and whale pelvis structures.
Evolution has reduced their size because the structures are no longer used.
It is a tiny remnant of a once-larger organ.

Answer
Molecular similarities provide evidence for the shared ancestry of life. DNA sequences comparisons can show how closely species are related.
Biogeography, the study of the geographical distribution of organisms, provides information about how and when species may have evolved.

The statements you've provided about tigers and lions could relate to different areas of evidence for evolution. Here's how they could be categorized:
1. **Tigers and lions evolved at different times**: This could relate to the **Fossil** evidence, as studying the fossil record can show how species evolved and diverged over time.
2. **Tigers and lions are products of artificial selection**: This statement relates more to **Anatomical** evidence within the context of artificial selection by humans, as selective breeding has altered certain traits in domesticated animals and some wild counterparts.
3. **Tigers and lions are distinct species**: This relates to **Molecular** evidence (such as genetic differences) that can demonstrate how species are defined based on genetic divergence and reproductive isolation.
4. **Tigers and lions adapted to different environments**: This relates to **Embryological** evidence and also anatomical features that show adaptations, as different environments can drive the evolutionary changes in species.
These associations help understand how different lines of evidence contribute to the theory of evolution.

Here’s the correct matching of descriptions with the types of anatomical evidence:
1. **Vestigial Structures**:
- Structures like the human tailbone, appendix, and whale pelvis structures.
- Evolution has reduced their size because the structures are no longer used.
- It is a tiny remnant of a once-larger organ.
2. **Analogous structures**:
- (These typically describe structures that serve similar functions but are not derived from a common ancestor, such as wings of birds and insects.)
3. **Homologous structures**:
- (These typically describe structures that are similar in form or function due to shared ancestry, such as the forelimbs of humans, whales, and bats.)
Based on your descriptions, all of them relate to **Vestigial Structures**. If you need explicit matches for the other types (Analogous and Homologous), please clarify.

When gametes unite during fertilization, the resulting zygote inherits two alleles for each gene. One allele comes from each parent. The alleles an individual inherits make up the individual’s **genotype**.
The expression of an organism’s genotype produces its **phenotype**; this term refers to the organism’s characteristics, such as purple or white flowers.
