Biology Classification / N.S and. History of Life EOC Review

How does the fossil record support evolution?

• It shows animals are the same today and haven't changed

• It shows modern animals are similar smaller versions of extinct animals

• The fossil record doesn't support evolution

How does molecular biology support evolution?

• All organisms have the exact same genetic code

• The more similarities in the genetic code then a closer relationship between the organisms

• The more similarities in the code then the farther the relationship between the organisms

• It doesn't support evolution
