How does evidence in each of these areas of research explain evolution (i. e. what does each of theses tell about evolution and change?

a. biogeography

b. radioactive dating

c. fossils

d. comparing anatomy and development (homologous and vestigial traits)

e. genetics and molecular biology

Biogeography: Animals can come from certain areas and move to other areas causing their adaptations and therefore traits to change.

Radioactive Dating: The time zone fossils come from can be dating to certain times where there species may have changed. This can also be said for Fossils.

Comparing anatomy and development: There characteristics of certain biological features can differentiate species and their traits to determine which animal has came from another and other relative species.

Genetics and Molecular Biology: Genes can be passed onto on another and looking at genes passed down from one species to the next determines evolution of traits.

mendel's first law states that during the formation of reproductive cells , pairs of hereditary factors for a specific trait separate so that offspring receive one factor from each parent.
