Zoogeographic regions are characterized by the presence of specific groups of animals. These regions are determined by taxonomic or phylogenetic relationships of animals. The map shows the zoogeographic regions proposed by the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in 1876. The similarities of organsisms in which two areas numbered above provide the best evidence for common ancestry between the organsisms in both locations?
1 and 2
3 and 4
5 and 6
7 and 8

The limbs of several organisms are shown in the illustrations below. Scientists sometimes compare the limbs of these organisms to look for evidence of common ancestry. These limbs provide evidence of common ancestry because they -
have the same basic structure
perform the same function
are the same size
are parts of mammals

The opossum, which is native to North America, and the kangaroo, which is native to Australia, are marsupials. The fact that both these mammals incubate their immature offspring in a pouch provides evidence that they -

must range great distances to eat
have very similar skeletal structures
are descended from a common ancestor

Genome maps provide the DNA sequences of chromosomes. Some scientists have compared the genome maps of a hedgehog and a sloth. What do these genome maps allow the scientists to determine?
the color patterns of the offspring of each species
how much the size ranges of the two species differ
the methods of protein synthesis that each species usese
how closely related the two species are to each other

An analysis of DNA and RNA sequences can be used to classify organsism. A dendrogram, such as the one show above, is based on molecular data. It can be used to represent evolutionary relationships within a group of organisms that are hypothesized to have descended from a common ancestor. Which statement is best supported by the information in this dendrogram?
lesser pandas are more genetically similar to giant pandas than they are to racoons
brown bears are more genetically similar to giant pandas than they are to sun bears
lesser pandas are more genetically similar to raccoons than they are to giant pandas
the bear species are all more genetically similar to dogs than they are to giant pandas

Three species of lizards of the genus Gallotia are found on the Canary Islands, a chain of seven volcanic islands off the west coast of Africa. The easternmost island, Lanzarote, is the oldest, while the westernmost island, El Hierro, is the youngest. The distribution of lizard species is shown on the map below. Which statement about the ancestry of the lizards from the genus Gallotia is best supported by this information?
the common ancestor of the lizards colonized the island of El Hierro
the ancestors of each species came from different continents at different times
the common ancestor of the lizards probably came from Africa
the ancestors of each species evolved in Spain and were brough to the islands at the same time
