Dr.
Reichler's Bio
301M Spring 2010 Homework
#3 due in class on W 3/3
Go to the Texas Memorial
Museum, located at 2400 Trinity St. which is just above the "Mustangs"
statue at the corner of 24th and San Jacinto
streets (http://www.utexas.edu/tmm).
On the third floor is the Hall of Texas Wildlife and the first floor
houses the Hall of Paleontology. Choose one of the organisms on
the third floor and one of the organisms on the first floor that you
think are evolutionarily related. Include the scientific name of
the two organisms. Tell me how they are similar and how they are
different. How do you think the organisms are related
evolutionarily? What changes do you think occurred in the
environment that led the organism on the first floor to evolve into the
organism on the third floor? You can include photos and/or
drawings to help make your point.
To help us grade this assignment, please include your name and class time at the top of the first page:

Your name
Your essay (not to
exceed two pages, photos and/or drawings will not count toward the page
limit)
This assignment should
not exceed 2
printed pages (photos and/or drawings will not count toward the page
limit), and must be word-processed/typed.
It can be
single- or double-spaced and whatever font that is still readable.
Be certain
to cite any outside sources that you use. Using outside sources
is fine,
but
not citing those sources is plagiarism. This
homework will be graded on a
scale of 0-1 points. The
typed/word-processed paper should be printed and turned in during class
on March 3.
I will subtract 0.2
points for each day late.
If you have any questions, please ask.
