DNA and Evolution

Evolution is best defined as:

• the process which organisms die.

• the process which organisms change over time.

• the process which organisms that are extinct become revived.

• the process which non-living things fossilize.

How does embryology support the Theory of Evolution?

• It shows that they have a common ancestor because of their similarities.

• I'm not sure.

• Animals change over time.

• it does what now

In stage one (top row) of these embryos, most of the embryos________

• look very similar.
• have very different features.
• show different stages of development.
• have only a tail if they are non-human.

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

For evolution to happen, this has to occur first:

• an organism finds a new mate
• and organism's DNA changes
• The environment in which a species lives changes
• the population increases

Changes in species that allow that species to survive changes in the environment are called:

• ecosystems
• adaptations
• biomes
• alleles
