| 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. |  |

Plants and animals who are more related to others of the same species, then genus, then family, and get further related the further up the taxonomic chain. This is like Tobler's law as items closer on the taxonomic tree are more closely related than the items farther away.

Animals that live in the same environment will have many of the same adaptations. When animals live in different environments they will have a lot of differences in their adaptations to the environment. This can lead to many animals of the same species having many differences such as how much fur an animal has.

Plants and animals in the same family may be less alike than plants and animals in the same area but in a different family because based on Tobler's first law of geography they are adapted to their environment and related because they are close to each other.

Well as you can see there are distant animals such as sea stars related to a grizzly bear , the more specifics one gives, the shorter the list of related animals, until one gets to species, then there is only grizzly bear.

The ideas are connected because everything is different and has diversity even between similar species, but those similar species still have a genetic code that is close to it.

Plants and animals who are closer together likely more related because they all live in the same environment and need the specialized genes. They also can be very different and not have much relation at all but can form same adaptations

Tobler’s First Law of Geography states that everything is related to everything else, but near things are more related than distant things and it related to the genetic diversity between plants and animals from the same family because the animals that are from the same area/family who have moved to different areas will have to evolve and adapt to their new environment to be able to survive in it.

Plants or animals from the same family that live far apart and in different regions have two main things that affect their similarities and differences.

The further down the genetic pyramid the closer related the species become. Some species may look alike but a majority of the time the functions are different.

having a common ancestor but adapting to their enviorment

Adaptations and common ancestors (finding them through genetics) can be telling in physical factors for the locations of species

Animals and plants that are from the same family and in the same areas have adapted to that specific environment. The ideas are connected because everything has diversity and even those that are similar are a little different, however, the similar species have a close genetic code.

Species in the same family are more different than animals in the same ecosystem because they have adapted to their own environment, but based on Tobler’s law they are more closely related

Animals could be from the same environment but have different adaptations because of what they eat.

It's simple. Not every animal in a certain family lives in the same environment. With different environments comes different adaptation so of course their is going to be variation and differences between plants and animals in the same family.

Animals from different areas need different things in order to survive and some animals have to adapt to there environments and the predators

they are closer related because they deal with similar environments then somewhere far away and have similar adaptations for that area.

When animals live near each other they have most of the same adaptations rather than an animal that lives farther.

To me it seems like the 2 ideas are almost saying the same thing. The charts show that they are all related but distantly in some cases. and same with tobler's law. I'm unsure of how to say what im thinking though.

In the evolution process, near things took more time to evolve and far things took less time to evolve.

because they have common enviorment they could heave more thing in common andthat is far the environment can causes a different adaptations

Near things are related because they are with each other in the same or similar environment and evolve together.

Animals that live in a similar environment will adapt to similar climates. If they are of the same species but live in different environments, they will have different adaptations. Leave a Reply. |
