WS4 Evolution

1. The document provides an activity worksheet for students on evolution. It contains questions about fossil records, comparative anatomy, genetic information, homologous vs analogous structures, and amino acid sequences in hemoglobin. 2. The worksheet asks students to analyze diagrams of sedimentary rock formations to determine the oldest layers, examine examples of homologous and analogous structures in different species, and compare amino acid sequences in hemoglobin between humans, horses, gorillas, chimpanzees and zebras to determine relatedness. 3. The objectives are for students to explain how fossil records, comparative anatomy, and genetic information provide evidence for evolution, and to analyze examples of homologous and analogous structures and amino acid sequences to understand evolutionary relationships
