Organisms that are closely related and evolved from a common ancestor would have:

exactly identical DNA sequences

completely different DNA sequence

The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

are descended from a common ancestor

Have very similar skeletal structures

must range great distances to eat

The table shows the survival rate of two types of beetle populations in the same environment over a period of three years. Based on the information in the table, which statement is correct?

Green beetles are more fit for their environment than brown beetles

Brown beetles have a shorter life cycle than green beetles have

Brown beetles undergo more unfavorable mutations than green beetles

Green beetles do not have the adaptations suited for survival in this environment

Mutations are important because they produce:

new traits that help natural selection occur.

death of the organism in which they develop.

During early stages of development, dolphin embryos begin to develop hind limbs. By the time the dolphin fetuses are fully developed, the hind limbs have disappeared. Which statement best explains the early development and then disappearance of hind limbs in dolphins?

The early ancestors of dolphins had hind limbs.

Dolphin fetuses change their development to adapt to an aquatic environment.

The genes that control the development of hind limbs are destroyed as the fetus develops.

Dolphins are evolving to become terrestrial animals.
