Descent with Modification

Peacock feathers are an example of:

• homologous structures
• sexual selection
• analogous structures
• vestigial structures

The effect that location has on the modification of life:

• Biogeography
• DNA
• Homology
• Evolution

Two similar structures in closely related organisms that have a different function:

• Vestigial
• Analogous
• Evolution
• Homologous

The chemical foundation of an organism that determines what it is like:

• Homology
• Evolution
• Modification
• DNA

The modern practice of using a computer to determine possibilities that could occur genetically and therefore impact evolution:

• Mathematical Models
• DNA
• Vestigial
• Selective Breeding

Two structures that belong to organisms that are not closely related, but the structures are similar because they serve a similar purpose for each organism:

• Homologous
• Vestigial
• Geographical
• Analogous

A penguin and a fish both have fins.  This is an example of:

• Homologous structures
• Vestigial structures
• Analogous structures
• DNA replication

A structure that has been reduced in size and is no longer used by an organism is referred to as:

• vestigial
• analogous
• homologous
• mathematical

The study of the earliest stages of development for an organism:

• Geography
• Cardiology
• Embryology
• Immunology
