| 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. |  |

They feel like it??

Even animals are from the same family they can look different becuase of the environment they have evolved in, their needs are different than their other family member, or because they have dealt with different problems.

plants from the same family and animals from the same family have only minor differences compared to plants and animals that are not in the same family.

Genetic familial ties share a common ancestor and demonstrate a geographical divide where organisms became apart of similar niches but in different environments.

The law states that "near things are more related than distant things" meaning that animals, plants, etc. that were/are more close to each other are more related compared to things that were/are separated. This explains the diversity of species because it tells us that animals that are more far out, are related to other species farther out despite acting and appearing differently compared to the other and vice versa.

Species share similarities due to a common ancestor, but evolve differently based on their needs due to their specific environment.

the location of the certain animals may cause them to be the same species but have different adaptations

the law stating that near things are more related than distant things means that animals/plants which are physically closer to each other are more closely related than those which are farther apart. this explains diversity because even though everything shares a common ancestor, they evolve to suit their environment. so animals in similar environments will be more similar than different environments

Animals have certain ranges that they live in, so they stay in their areas separated by multiple different factors. meaning that animals that are closer tend to be similar

Animals may look different, but can still be from the same family of species because of the environment that they have evolved to live in.

There is genetic diversity between plants and animals that are in the same family because species develop adaptations based upon their environment. Thus, animals that are in the same family, but live in different areas of the world have diversity of genetic characteristics.

Many organisms share a common ancestor before their ancestors split up due to geographical obstacles, or other reasons.

Basically the deal is that the animals and plants that live in areas with conditions and they all evolved to those conditions. So animals that live near each other would all be evolved similarly and thus be more similar than things far away. 9/28/2021 12:38:11 pm
The example I would use is the dog family, so a wolf and a fox are more closely related probably because they both live in North America. Versus a arctic wolf and a dingo.

They need different adaptations for different areas and while they might be from the same family in how they live and what they eat it might be completely different. Leave a Reply. |
