Evidence of Evolution

What would be useful evidence to show that humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestor?

• Fossil record and DNA comparisons between the two
• Lack of homologous structures
• Analysis of how the two species interact
• Fossils of the two species living together

These structures are an example of what kind of evidence

• Analogous structures
• Vestigial Structures
• Homologous structures
• Embryology

Bats, humans, and whales have similar structure in their forelimbs. These provide evidence of common ancestry because they -

• perform the same function
• have the same structure
• are the same size
• are mammals

Even if the function is different if they have the same structure it would be -

• Analogous structures
• Vestigial Structures
• Homologous structures
• Rudimentary structures

A scientific theory is

• an untested idea
• fake
• a model supported by evidence
• an opinion that’s based on vibes

Vestigial organs are

• examples of imperfections, like a crooked knee
• Remnants of structures that were useful to ancestors
• Evidence that does not support the theory of evolution
• Structures that can only be observed in embryos

Which of the following is true about the fossil record?

• Layer B is formed after layer D
• Layer C was formed after layer A

Which of the following is an example of convergent evolution

• Two species merging together
• A species that regains a trait from an ancestor
• Two populations in the same area that turn into two species
• Two different species gain the ability to fly

A pattern of slow shange interrupted by periods of rapid change is-

• Natural Selection
• Genetic drift
• Punctuated equilibrium
• Gene flow

When multiple transitional fossils are found in many rock layers, they provide evidence of

• seasonal variation in the diet
• gradual change over time
• DNA is genetic material
• Unchanging environment
