(B) 13.1-13.5

Darwin initially recognized that...

• The same location makes organisms more similar to one another than the same climate.

• Species that live in similar climates will be the most similar, even if those environments are very far from each other.

• The density of species affects how similar individuals are, the more animals in an area the more similar they will look and act.

• Temperature of a climate was related to biodiversity. The hotter it is the more different kinds of organisms there are.

Who came up with ideas to similar after making observations in Indonesia?

• Malthus

• Hutton

• Lyell

• Lamarck

• Wallace

Finding fossils of coral reefs in the Nevada desert provides evidence that:

• Nevada used to be much colder than it is today
• an ocean once covered what is now Nevada
• there was a mistake because no coral reefs exist in deserts
• ancient corals used to live on land

Which organism would fossilize the easiest?

• snail living near a river

• jellyfish living near a river

• crab living on the side of a cliff

• slug living on the side of a cliff

• dogs

Scientists compare the limbs of organisms to look for evidence of common ancestry. These limbs provide evidence of common ancestry because they -

• perform the same function
• are the same size
• have the same basic structure
• are parts of the same animal

The best way to construct an evolutionary tree of the plants in this data table is by using...
