• Earth A Home for Life
• 200
• The first multicellular organisms to live on land
  appeared this many years ago.
• 500 million B. 3.8 billion
• 1.2 million D. 1.2 billion

What is A 500 million.

• Earth A Home for Life
• 300
• During the Permian Extinction, about _______ of
  the species living in the ocean became extinct.
• 90 C. 50
• 10 D. 1

What is A. 90?
10
Earth A Home for Life 400 Scientists think that
this is what caused the Permian extinction 250
million years ago and how and why it may have
happened.
What is what is the Earths land masses joining
together causing 90 of the species in the ocean
and many land dwelling animals to die ? The
formation of one big continent changed the
climate and conditions in the ocean.
11
Earth A Home for Life 500 This is when, why and
how scientists think the Cretaceous extinction
happened and what disappeared.
What is 65 million years ago scientists think
that an asteroid hit the Earth which caused a
climate change and the dinosaurs disappeared?
After the dinosaurs died out, many new mammals
began appearing.
12
Species Change over Time 100 The relative age of
a fossil tells you a. whether one fossil is older
or younger than another fossil b. exactly when a
fossil was formed c. the amount of radioactivity
in a fossil d. how long the fossilized organism
was alive on Earth
What is A, whether one fossil is older or younger
than another fossil?
13

• Species Change over Time
• 200
• Lamarck proposed that species evolve because
• they adapt to their surroundings over time.
• they can pass on traits acquired during their
  lifetimes to their offspring.
• they overproduce and a variety of species come
  from each offspring.
• natural laws decide when they should change.

What is B, they can pass on traits acquired
during their lifetimes to their offspring?
14

• Species Change over Time
• 300
• Most__________ will become more common from one
  generation to the next.
• variations
• mutations
• speciations
• adaptations

What is d adaptations?
15
Species Change over Time 400 According to
Lamarck, could the parents of the tortoise from
Abingdon Island be born with a short neck?
What is yes, they could have stretched their
necks during their lives and then passed on that
trait to their offspring?
16
Species Change over Time 500 This is how
variation and adaptation may have led to the
development of long-necked tortoises on Abingdon
Island.
17
Species Change over Time 500 Answer Slide

• The offspring of the ancestors of present-day
  tortoises on Abingdon island differed from each
  other in small ways.
• One of these variations was likely neck length.
  The tortoises competed with one another for
  leaves.
• The better adapted tortoises, with long necks,
  survived and reproduced at a higher rate.
• Therefore, long-necked tortoises became more
  widespread.

  they are used in different ways. This is
  evidence that supports the theory of evolution
  by_________.
• artificial selection
• natural selection
• acquired characteristics
• similarity of structures

What is similarity of structures?
19

• Evidence for Evolution

  the most similar genes.
• tree and flower
• flower and bacterium
• bacterium and human
• human and tree

What is a, tree and flower?
20

A in the diagram to the right is an example of a
vestigial organ.

21
Evidence for Evolution 400 Structures B, C, and
D are forearms of different animals share a
common ancestor. What type of biological
evidence is this?
What is similar structures with different
functions?
