How did life begin?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following best explains how comparative anatomy provides evidence for evolution?

• It shows how different species have similar structures due to common ancestry.

• It explains how fossils are formed in sedimentary rocks.

• It describes how all living things have the same DNA sequence.

• It shows that all species have identical body structures.

Multiple Choice

Dromedary camels and South American llamas have similar skeletal and muscle structures, but each has a specialized hump. What would a scientist most likely conclude based on this observation?

• They evolved from a common ancestor and adapted to different environments.

• They are not related and developed similar traits by chance.

• They are the same species with minor differences.

• They have no evolutionary relationship.

Multiple Choice

How does biogeography provide evidence for evolution?

• By showing how species are distributed across the world and how they evolved from common ancestors.

• By comparing the DNA of different species.

• By studying the fossil record only.

• By observing animal behavior in different regions.

Multiple Select

Which of the following are types of evidence that support the theory of evolution?

• Embryology

• Comparative Anatomy

• Fossil Record

• Photosynthesis

Open Ended

What information would scientists be studying as evidence in comparative anatomy?

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is a similarity between mammals and whales as shown in the images?

• Both have a nose

• Both have fur

• Both lay eggs

• Both have wings

Multiple Choice

How do the bones in a whale's fin compare to those in a human arm?

• They are completely different

• They are analogous, showing similar bone structures

• Whales have no bones in their fins

• Humans have more bones in their arms than whales have in their fins

Open Ended

Describe how scientists use different types of evidence to support theories of evolution.

Multiple Choice

According to the images, what changes occurred in the hominid skull and brain as the jaw bone began to thin?

• The skull increased in size and the brain grew larger

• The jaw became sharper

• The nose became more pronounced

• The eyes became smaller

Multiple Choice

What was the second major development in early hominids after bi-pedal walking?

Open Ended

Reflecting on today's lesson, what is one question you still have about the evidence for evolution or the history of life?

Multiple Choice

How does comparative anatomy provide evidence for evolution?

• By showing similarities in bone structures among different species

• By comparing the diets of different species

• By analyzing the speed of different animals

• By observing the color patterns of animals
