HW - 1/5/12

Tonight's homework is to complete the analysis questions for CW 50. Use the notes you took on the reading (which is also found below) to help you answer the questions.

1. How can fossils (for example, transitional fossils) provide evidence for evolution?

2. Describe the evolution of tetrapods (four-legged animals) in your own words.

3. Using details/examples describe how natural selection could have influenced the evolution of tetrapods. Feel free to discuss the traits of species as Eusthenopteron, Acanthostega, Tiktaalik, and/or Ichthyostega.
