Full Description
This exam investigates evolutionary patterns in developmental mechanisms across diverse animal species. It addresses key concepts such as heterochrony, evolutionary development biology (evo-devo), and the role of gene duplication.
Insights into these patterns are essential for understanding how developmental processes have adapted to environmental pressures and contributed to biodiversity over time.
The examination will require students to demonstrate their understanding of evolutionary mechanisms that influence developmental outcomes, fostering a deeper connection to the concept of evolutionary change.
Additionally, case studies comparing developmental strategies in various lineages may be reviewed, highlighting the evolutionary significance of shared and divergent traits.
Sample Questions
- What is heterochrony and how does it influence evolutionary outcomes?
- How do gene duplication events contribute to developmental diversity among species?
