The Evolution of this Class
Class began today with us getting our much awaited tests back...
I was pretty happy with my result and found the explanations of the problems I missed to be very explanatory and beneficial.
We then proceeded to do one of two labs. Bob Stoddard and I chose to make DNA strands out of beads and pipe cleaners. The four DNA Strands that we made belonged to...
Humans
Chimpanzees
Gorillas
Common Ancestor
We then analyzed and compared the different strands and found the DNA strands to be very similar to each other. Using this information we were able to discover exactly how all of these organisms were related to each other and exactly how related they were to each other.
It turns out that none of the organisms directly evolved from any of the organisms, rather they all share a common ancestor and therefore share many similar traits.
Today was a very interesting and eye-opening introduction to evolution.
