We know chimpanzees and humans share a common ancestor because...

• They're both super cute

• They share ~98% of their genome

• They exist at the same time

• We don't know this.

A homologous structure is....

• similar in structure but different in function

• different in structure but similar in function

• similar in both structure and function

• different in both structure and function

Bats, whales, and humans all have a pentadactyl (5-digit) limb. This suggests that...

• 5 is the optimal number of digits

• they are unrelated

• share a common ancestor with a 5-digit limb

• they evolved from one another.

Due to the over and improper use of antibiotics, some bacteria have...

• become mutants

• become resistant to certain antibiotics

• remained the same over generations

A vestigial structures are

• structures inherited from ancestors that no longer serve any function

• similar in structure but different in function

• structures that have appeared in descendant lineages

• have mutated over time

Structures change over time because

• they adapt to changing environments

• evolution is a random process

• species are continually becoming more perfected

Artificial selection is when

• nature selects which individuals survive/die

• humans select which individuals survive/die

• technology is used to change genes

• chemicals are used to cause mutations

The fossil of the archaeopteryx suggests that...

• Reptilian dinosaurs evolved from birds

• Birds evolved from reptilian dinosaurs

• Evolution occurs in one generation

• Birds and reptilian dinosaurs are unrelated
