Study Notes
- Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is natural selection.
- Jean Baptiste de Lamarck's theory is acquired characteristics.
- The theory of need explains how organisms change in response to their environment.
- Lamarck's theory of use and disuse suggests that traits change depending on organ use.
- Lamarck believed giraffes evolved longer necks due to the need to reach tall trees.
- The inheritance of acquired characteristics is adaptation theory.
- Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution.
- Evolution is the change in heritable characteristics over generations.
- Evidence for evolution includes fossils, anatomy, molecules, and embryos.
- Homologous structures have different functions based on a common ancestor, vestigial structures have little function, and analogous structures have similar functions but are different.
