5 GENETIC SIMILARITIES

JEAN -
BAPTISTE de LAMARCK gene pool 1 DNA changes over time


environment caused changes in organisms close similarities in DNA = shows related hell


use Id 11 Use → creatures could dev new organs ( change
.
organisms with more similarities in protein t nucleic acid leg
structure ( function = more closely related



giraffes stretched their necks 9 BIOCHEMICAL SIMILAR 171ft

CHARLES DARWIN shared amino acid sequences


individuals most suited to their environment

lived long enough to reproduce




parents passed good traits → offspring

tell favourable traits → died




WALLACE

• related species dev . from a common ancestor 8 changed
over time





populations living in separate areas could lead to new species




EVOLUTION → SCIENTIFIC THEORY

CREATIONISTS believe Earth 8 all living things were created In a

SCIENCE needs evidence to support its facts


FAITH act of belief based on absolute trust in a holy being

convergent t divergent



3 MODIFICATION WITHIN A SPEC Ift
