-experiment must be repeatable

Macroevolution: major evolutionary change
Vestige
Homology: similar anatomical structure
Cladogram: depicts evolutionary relationships among different taxa
, Taxon: the animals/organisms listed
Node: the point where a common ancestor is shared by two or more taxa
Synapomorphy: shared derived characteristics
Clade: consists of a group of organisms and includes the ancestor and all its descendants
Concepts to review in the manual:
Seven lines of evidence for macroevolution
1. Fossil record
2. Molecular sequence data
3. Structural homology
4. Developmental similarity
5. Vestigial structures
6. Convergent evolution
7. Patterns of animal and plant distributions
Fossil preservation types
- Impression: no organic matter preserved
- Compression: some organic matter preserved
- Petrification: plant tissues are infiltrated and/or replaced with minerals
- Amber: preservation of fossils within the fossilized plant sap (amber)
Three domains of life: eukarya, eubacteria, archaea
Geologic time scale
