Evidence for Evolution review Game

What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?

• To look different from other species.
• To be able to eat the food available in the environment.

• To protect itself against predators.
• To protect itself against prey.

Structures with similar parts, but may have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures

• homologous structures

• adaptive radiation

• fossil

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

What type of evidence for evolution is shown in the image above?

• Fossils

• Vestigial structures

• Homologous Structures

• similarities in DNA

What type of evidence for evolution is shown in this picture?

• Fossils

• Embryology

• Homologous Structures

• Vestigial Structures

Which of the following is true about the evidence of evolution

• Vestigial structures are not real evidence of evolution.

• Homologous structures and fossils are the most dependable forms of evidence.

• Comparing DNA is the most accurate method to show evolutionary relationships.

• Embryology and Homologous structures do not support the theory of evolution.

Vertebrate embryos passing through similar stages of development is evidence for

• use and disuse

• homologous structures

• common ancestry

• acquired characteristics

Embryos, fossils, and DNA all support the theory that 

• Animals share common ancestor
• Animals are not related 
• Evolution is made up
• The weakest survive

Humans, birds, whales, and lizards all have similar arm bones. What is the reason for this?

• The function of these bones is the same in all animals
• They live in similar environments
• They have a common ancestor
• All organisms resemble humans

An inherited trait that increases an organism's chance of surviving and reproducing.

• variation
• adaptation
• vestigial structure
• mutation
