Evidence of Evolution Lesson

Multiple Choice

What can be concluded from the diagram shown?

• The more closely related the organisms are, the easier it is to tell them apart at an early embryonic stage.

• The more closely related the organisms are, the harder it is to tell them apart at an earlier stage.

• All organisms are equally related, and can be told apart from an early stage.

• None of the organisms are related, and can be told apart at all stages.

Multiple Choice

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.

Multiple Choice

How does embryology support the Theory of Evolution?

• It shows that embryos who develop similarly share a common ancestor

• It shows that embryos who develop similarly are not related to one another

• It shows that organisms have the ability to evolve, or change, over time

Multiple Choice

the study of fossils and the fossil record

• Natural Selection

• Phylogenetics

• Genetic Variation

• Paleontology

Multiple Choice

What is the fossil record?

• Are the remains or evidence of once-living organisms

• Is the change over time in populations of related organisms

• Is made up of all the fossils ever discovered on Earth

• Occurs when the last individual organism of a species dies
