C. Classifying Life 1. Categories D, K, P, C, O, F, G,& S

Kingdom Protista Kingdom Monera Figure 1.15 Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae

Kingdom Animalia Figure 1.15

III. Characteristics of Animals A. Shared Characteristics

multi-cellular heterotrophs, contractile proteins, special tissues, stages of development, motile, and fixed adult size

IV. Evidence of Selection A. Fossil Record

The fossil record is based on what three key points of data to age identify them? Strata Positioning Magnetic Reversal Half-Life Dating & Racemization

B. Comparative Anatomy

Outward similar inward different or same function different structure Analogous structures = Figure 1.21

Outward different inward similar or same structure different function Homologous Structures = Figure 22.15 Vestigial Structures = Outwardly useless remnants??

C. Comparative Embryology

Similarities in developmental patterns in animals Figure 32.8 Figure 32.9

D. Molecular Homology

Homologies between species (yeast, wheat, & primate) in the sequential amino acid make-up of cytochrome C3.

E. Current Evidence 1. Artificial Selection

That’s all for now folks.
