Based on the video's hypothesized whale evolution, what is the correct order of places where you could have found the whale's ancestors, then the whale? For example, did they live underground, then in the oceans, then in the sky? (no, they didn't)

Open Ended

Describe how the whale skeleton could be used as evidence for evolution.

Multiple Select

Select all the claims made by the theory of evolution as shown in the slides.

• All living things are related

• Evolution is powered by natural processes

• All living things are identical

• Evolution is powered by artificial selection

Open Ended

Explain how embryology provides evidence for the theory of evolution.

Multiple Choice

Which of the following pieces of evidence is used to support the theory of evolution according to the slides?

• Embryology

• Genetics/molecular biology

• The fossil record

• All of the above

Multiple Select

Select all that are examples of evidence for evolution.

• Fossil records

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

• Modern technology

Open Ended

How does the comparison of gene sequences provide evidence for evolution among different organisms?

Multiple Choice

What is one way that the evolution of technology, such as smartphones, is similar to biological evolution?

• Both involve gradual changes over time based on previous versions.

• Technology evolves randomly without any influence from earlier models.

• Biological evolution happens instantly, while technology takes centuries.

• Technology does not show any similarities to previous models.
