What to Focus On

  • Fossils give direct evidence of evolution.
  • Fossils are mostly found in sedimentary rocks.
  • Radioactive dating is used to estimate fossil age.
  • Homologous organs have the same origin but different functions.
  • Analogous organs have the same function but different origin.
  • Homology is evidence of divergent evolution.
  • Embryos of vertebrates are more similar than adults.
  • Notochord and gill clefts are important embryonic structures.
  • Recapitulation theory states that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Homologous organs are similar because they perform the same function.

Analogous organs are similar because they have the same origin.

Lamarckism and Darwinism both say that acquired traits are inherited in the same way.
