Evolution and Classification Review

Two organisms that are closely related would have

• very similar DNA sequence
• exactly the same DNA sequences
• no proteins in common
• completely different DNA sequence

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

The hip bones in a whale are examples of

• homologous structures
• analogous structures
• fossils
• vestigal structures

NGSS.HS-LS4-1

Structures that no longer serve a purpose.

• Homologous structures
• gene pool
• population
• Vestigial structures

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Some organisms that share a common ancestor have features that have different functions, but similar structures.  These are known as

• vestigial structures
• analogous structures
• homologous structures
• fossil structures

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

Structures that have different mature forms in different organisms but were derived from the same common ancestor and embryonic tissue

• homologous structures

• vestigial structures

• molecular homology

• analogous structures

NGSS.MS-LS4-3

A characteristic of different organisms that have similar function but not necessarily the same structure and did not come from the same common ancestor

• vestigial structures

• analogous structures

• adaptation

• homologous structures

NGSS.MS-LS4-2

A structure that is the same during the development of all vertebrate species is...

• Homologous

• Analogous

• Vestigial

• Embryological

Similar DNA sequence between different organisms indicating a common ancestry or evolutionary origin

• molecular homology

• analogous structures

• evolution

• Law of Superposition

study of similarities and differences in the structures of organisms

• paleontologist

• permineralization

landforms become barriers between population of species

• convergent evolution

• geographic isolation
