LAC 28:XI.9760. Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

A. Use data to identify that fossils of different animals that lived at different times are placed in chronological order (i.e., fossil record) and located in different sedimentary layers. B. Recognize that similarities and differences in external structures can be used to infer evolutionary relationships between living and fossil organisms. C. Identify an explanation of the evolutionary relationships between modern and fossil organisms. D. Identify patterns (i.e., pictorial displays, representations, data) in the embryological development as evidence of relationships among species. E. Analyze numerical data sets that represent a proportional relationship between some change in the environment and corresponding changes in genetic variation (i.e., traits) over time.
