29 Evolution I
29.1 The origin of life (Book 4, p. 29-3)
� Scientists generally believe that the first organisms were formed by joining (1) _____________
molecules together. The organic molecules were produced from simple (2) _______________
substances present in the atmosphere of the early earth.
29.2 Evolution (Book 4, p. 29-5)
� At the present time, scientists generally accept the theory of (1) _______________ (進化), which
suggests that life on earth started from a (2) _______________ _______________ (共同祖先).
A Evidence for evolution: fossils (Book 4, p. 29-5)
1 Types of fossils
� (3) _______________ (化石) are the preserved remains or traces of ancient organisms. They
can be divided into two types:
- (4) _______________ _______________ (體化石): They include body parts of organisms
They provide us with information on the (5) _______________ of ancient organisms and
what they looked like.
- (6) _______________ _______________ (遺跡化石): They include structures caused by
the activity of organisms. They provide us with information on the (7) _______________
of ancient organisms.
� Classify the following fossils into body fossils and trace fossils:
a

Body fossils:
(8) _____, _____, _____
Trace fossils:
(9) _____, _____, _____

2 Formation of fossils
� One of the ways of fossil formation and how the fossils are exposed:
1 A fish dies. The soft parts of it decay, leaving the
hard parts like the skeleton. The skeleton is then
buried in mud and sand.
2 After millions of years, the mud and sand become
rock due to great pressure from the upper layers
of sediment (沉積物). Meanwhile,
(10) _______________ begin to deposit in the
fish skeleton and turn it into a fossil.
3 (11) _______________ movement raises the
rock above water.
4 Further earth movement or
(12) _____________ exposes the fossil.
� Other ways to preserve remains of organisms:
- Small animals might get trapped in (13) _______________ (樹脂) secreted by trees. After a
long time, resin turns into (14) _______________ (琥珀), preserving the animals inside.
- Organisms can also be preserved in ice.
3 How a fossil record provides evidence for evolution
� The (15) _______________ of fossils in sedimentary rocks (沉積岩) forms the
(16) _______________ _______________ (化石紀錄).
- In sedimentary rocks, the (17) _______________ (uppermost / lowest) layer is the oldest
rock containing the (18) ____________________ (earliest / most recent) fossils.
� The fossil record agrees with the theory of evolution that:
- existing life forms arose from (19) _______________-_______________ life forms
- organisms became more (20) _____________ in structure and more (21) ______________.

� Scientists can now estimate the age of fossils by (22) _______________ _______________
(放射性同位素定年法). This helps scientists obtain information about the time of existence of
organisms.
� Evolution of the horse: clues from the fossil record

Bones of
forelimb
Body size
- Body size of horses (23) _______________ over the past 60 million years.
- The horse’s legs became (24) _______________ over time. The number of toes was
(25) _______________.
� Limitations of using fossil records as evidence for evolution:
- There are (26) _______________ _______________ (缺少的環節) in fossil records.
- (27) _______________-bodied organisms usually do not form fossils.
- The bodies of dead organisms may be eaten by other organisms or (28) _______________
before fossilization occurs.
- The conditions in which the organisms died are not suitable for fossil formation.
- Most fossils are (29) _______________ and may be damaged.
- Some fossils are located in (30) _______________ areas.
B Other evidence for evolution (Book 4, p. 29-12)
1 Homologous structures
� Some structures of different species may look very different and perform different functions,
but their designs are basically the same. These structures are said to be (31) _______________
(同源的).

� Example: The forelimbs of mammals (e.g. humans, horses, bats and whales) perform different
functions, but all of them are (32) _______________ _______________ (五趾型肢). This
suggests that these mammals evolved from a (33) _______________ _______________. Their
limbs (34) _______________ to perform different functions in different environments.
� Identify to which mammal the following limbs belong. State the functions of the limbs.

2 Comparative biochemistry
� By comparing the similarity of certain chemicals (e.g. proteins and nucleic acids) in different
species, the (43) _______________ relationship between them may be deduced.
i) Comparing the amino acid sequence in proteins
� Scientists hold the view that the fewer the differences in the (44) _______________
_______________ sequence in the same type of protein of different species, the fewer the
(45) _______________ which have occurred and the closer the phylogenetic relationship
between the species.

ulna and radius
carpals
metacarpals and phalanges

� Example: The difference in the amino acid sequence of one of the polypeptide chains of
haemoglobin between humans and five other vertebrates:
Vertebrate Gorilla Rhesus
monkey Dog Chicken Frog
Number of differences in
amino acid sequence in
haemoglobin between
humans and other vertebrates
1 8 15 45 67
- Humans are (46) _______________ (more / less) closely related to gorillas than rhesus
monkeys.
- The evolutionary tree (進化樹) below shows the phylogenetic relationship between humans
and the above five vertebrates. Identify vertebrates I to VI.
I: human
II: (47) _______________
III: (48) _______________
IV: (49) _______________
V: (50) _______________
VI: (51) _______________
ii) Comparing the base sequence of DNA
� The more similar the (52) _______________ sequence of DNA, the closer the phylogenetic
relationship of the species.
� The similarity in the base sequence of DNA between humans and six other species of animals:
Species Gorilla Rhesus
monkey Chicken Mouse Rabbit Squirrel
Similarity in base sequence
of DNA between humans
and other species
97.7% 91.1% 88% 85% 80% 75%
- Humans have a (53) _______________ phylogenetic relationship with gorillas than rhesus
monkeys.
- This (54) _______________ (agrees / disagrees) with the findings when amino acid
sequences in haemoglobin are compared.
