Front

What is this an example of? Options: vestigial structures, embryology, homologous structures, fossil record

Back

homologous structures

Front

Two organisms that are closely related would have

Back

very similar DNA sequence

Front

The study of the early stages of development that is one evidence of evolution is:

Back

Embryology

Front

The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

Back

are descended from a common ancestor

Front

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

Back

The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor

Front

The fossil record helps scientists

Back

All of the above: better understand the kinds of organisms that lived in the past, how the environment has changed over time, and how organisms have evolved over time.

Front

The forelimbs of humans, cats, whales, and bats are similar in structure due to having a common ancestor. Is this considered homology or analogy?

Back

Homology

Front

Which of the following are homologous structures? whale flipper and bat wing, legs on a beetle and legs on a cat

Back

whale flipper and bat wing

Front

The cave fish and minnow are related, but the cave fish is blind and only has the remnants of an eye. What type of structure is this?

Back
