• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil

What are the oldest fossils and why?

• B, C- because they are closest to the top

• A, B- because they are closest to the bottom

• They are all the same age- because they are all found on layer 2

• A, B- because they are found closest to the top

The evolution of the horse is the most complete fossil record we have of a single organism. Using the picture, what can you conclude happened to the horse over time?

• The horse grew larger and lost its toes

• The horse shrank and lost its toes

• The horse grew larger and gained toes

• The horse shrank and gained toes

How does embryology support the Theory of Evolution?

• It shows that they have a common ancestor because of their similarities.
•          I'm not sure.
• Animals change over time. 

Structures that show an important link in an organism's past that is not as important now as it once was.

• Homologous Structures
• Analogous Structures
• Vestigial Structures
• Mimics

Structures that have no common DNA link, but have similar functions. EX: Butterfly and bird wings.

• Homologous Structures
• Analogous Structures
• Vestigial Structures
• Mimics

Two organisms that are closely related would have

• very similar DNA sequence
• exactly the same DNA sequences
• no proteins in common
• completely different DNA sequence
