Evolution

Which of the following is true, based on the image.

• The fossils found in layer B are older than those found in layer G.

• The fossils found in layer F are older than those found in layer D.

• The oldest fossils are those found in layer G.

• Layer C is missing fossils because of an earthquake that occurred during its time period.

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

Which species’ DNA is most similar to the DNA of the toothed whale? 

• Hippopotamus 
• Baleen Whale
• Grazing Mammals
• Camels

_____________________are features present in modern organisms which are no longer in use.

• DNA

• Vestigial structures

• Fossils

• Homologous structures

Most organisms look similar when they are embryos, what does this mean?

• this is evidence that aliens exist
• this is evidence that we share the genes of a common ancestor
• this is evidence that all organisms are clones of each other

Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring? 

• Evolution 
• Variation 
• Adaptation
• Natural Selection 

Structures that are similar to function but differing structure.

• Homologous

• Analogous

• Vestigial

• DNA

The study of the early stages of development that is one evidence of evolution is:

• Homologous Structures
• Embryology
• Vestigial Organs

What kind of evidence for evolution is shown in this image?

• fossil evidence
• anatomical evidence
• molecular evidence

What is this an example of?

• Homologous structure

• Analogous structure

• Vestigial organs

• Functional adaption
