Describe the motion of the basketball after it leaves the players hands, and explain how this is an example of an acceleration change.

• The ball travels in curved trajectory in a single direction with decreasing speed. This is acceleration because of change in velocity

• The ball moves downwards and then upwards in an arc. This is acceleration because of the change in force pulling the ball downwards

• The ball travels in a horizontal line to the basket with increasing speed. This is acceleration because of a change in velocity.

• The ball travels in curved trajectory in a single direction with decreasing speed. This is acceleration because of change in direction

In addition to anatomical evidence, how does genetic evidence support the claim that all life on Earth came from a common ancestor?

• DNA reveals how species are related and shows their shared genetic code

• Dominant and recessive alleles in genes cause variations in populations

• Similar embryonic development in fish, pigs and turtles reveal common ancestry

• Similar bone structure in mammals provides evidence of common ancestry

• Their feathers were adapted to match their environment

• They had identical phenotype in all locations

• They had identical genotype in all locations

• Their beaks were adaptations related to the foods in the finches ate.
