• Analogous
• Evolution
• Homologous

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

• Homology
• Evolution
• Modification
• DNA

NGSS.MS-LS3-1

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

• vestigial
• analogous
• homologous
• mathematical

Which DNA sequence is least closely related to:  ATGCCGTA

• AGTCCGTT
• ATCGTGTG
• ATTCGCTG
• ATGGCGTT

Which DNA sequence is most closely related to:  GTCAATGT

• GTCGATCT
• GTGAATGT
• GCCACTGG
• GTGAACCT

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

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

An example of a vestigial structure is:

• Fins for penguins and fish
• Human wisdom teeth
• Bat arm and whale fin
• Human brain
