The study of the early stages of development that is one evidence of evolution is:

• Homologous Structures
• Embryology
• Vestigial Organs

NGSS.MS-LS4-3

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

What is comparative anatomy?

• The study of how animals develop before being born or hatching from an egg

• Fossils that have been arranged in chronological order

• comparing DNA code of different living creatures to find out who is most closely related to who

• finding similarities and differences of the anatomy of different animals

What is embryology?

• The study of how animals develop before being born or hatching from an egg

• Fossils that have been arranged in chronological order

• comparing DNA code of different living creatures to find out who is most closely related to who

• finding similarities and differences of the anatomy of different animals

What is the fossil record?

• The study of how animals develop before being born or hatching from an egg

• Fossils that have been arranged in chronological order

• comparing DNA code of different living creatures to find out who is most closely related to who

• finding similarities and differences of the anatomy of different animals

What is DNA comparison?

• finding similarities and differences of the anatomy of different animals

What is Evolution?

• The cenozoic era

• a scientific theory that all living things are related and come from a common ancestor. Living things change over time

• a scientific theory that the Earth was created by "The Big Bang"

• The dinosaurs

What are homologous structures?

• structures within different species that look the same because they are from a common ancestor but have different functions

• structures within different species that are adapted to perform the same function but do not come from a common ancestor

• structures within an organism that are have no function "use less"

What are analogous structures?

• structures within different species that look the same because they are from a common ancestor but have different functions

• structures within different species that are adapted to perform the same function but do not come from a common ancestor

• structures within an organism that are have no function "use less"
