• A. The theory that all living organisms are made of cells

• B. The theory that all living organisms share the same basic genetic components

• C. The theory that organisms function best when their internal conditions are maintained within narrow limits

Multiple Choice

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

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.

Options (8)

Characteristics inherited from a common ancestor.

Characteristics evolved independently and not from a common ancestor.

Divergent evolution

Convergent evolution

An example would be the shape of the for limb of a human and a cat.

An example would be the wings of a butterfly and the wings of a bat

Characteristics have different functions due to living in different environments.

Structures have similar functions because they live in similar environments.
