A) What types of data document patterns and processes of evolution?
B) What does homology mean and how is it important with respect to evolution? How types of
homology are for providing evidence of evolution?
C) does the fossil record provide support for the of evolution? Why do sugar gliders and flying
squirrels look so much alike?
D) What do we call the similarity between flying squirrels and sugar gliders?
E) Provide a complete explanation for the question, what is evolution Vocabulary
Solution
Answer A) There are mainly four types of data which document patterns and process of
evolution; Homology, fossil record, direct observations and biogeography.
Answer B) Homology means sharing a similar structure due to relatedness. this is important with
respect to evolution because homology tells us that two different animals which shares the
homology structures had a common ancestor during evolution. there are two types of homology
in evolution; paralogs, which tells us that two copy of one gene located at two different positions
on genome inside a single organism has evolved as a duplication event and such genes are called
paralogous. while orthologs tells us that if two genes are similar in two different organism\'s
genomes then they were originated in their ancestor.
Answer C) Yes, fossil record is one of the data documentation for the evolutionary studies and
they help to find the missing links between various points of evolution. sugar gliders and flying
squirrels look alike because they share similarity in structures such as white belly, big eyes, same
size, and a thin layer of skin under the legs for gliding in the air.
Answer D) We call this kind of similarity in same functional structures as analogy..
