| Central Question: What effect does physical location have on similarities and differences in species? Guiding Thought Question: Connect Tobler's First Law of Geography (Everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things) to the idea of genetic diversity between plants or animals from the same family. Today's Learning Objective: Students will work on the methods used to determine common ancestors and link species within a geographic area by constructing a cladogram for the Amazon and then another of their choosing for another region. |  |

these two things are related in the sense that animals, while even from the same family, can be quite different

Though things are related in the past, adaptations can create a new species and make their genetics diverse to keep from inbreeding.

Animals and plants that live in the same area will have similar adaptations because the animals and plants are competing for the same resources or they have to adapt to find other resources

Past plants and animals could have been closely related but over time they make different adaptations and changes. They also keep the same adaptations being in a stable habitat.

There can be two animals or plants that classify from the same classification but are very different (example: Alligators and Crocodiles)

Even though animals are related they could have adapted to different environments

Animals in the same family may have similar features, but the animals in the same biome will be similar because they will have adapted to the same environment.

Plants and animals are similar near the same area because over time they adapt to live there.

The physical location of plants and animals will have an impact on them and make them similar. So a desert tortoise might have similar adaptations to a desert toad and that might have similar adaptations to a cactus due to the harsh climate and lack of water.

Animals and plants from the same species will have similar features but will have different adaptations because they are changing to accommodate their habitat/biome

Within the same family, animals that live in a similar biome are more related than the animals that live in different biomes.

Animals who are in the same family that live closer together are more related than other animals in the same family who live farther away.

Some animals come from the same family of species, but they will change to be more like the animals in their biome

If a plant and animal are in the same biome they might have similar adaptations to live in the biome

Every animal is related, but they adapt when they are in different biomes, which creates genetic diversity.
