A whale uses its fin for a different function than a cat uses its paw. However,, the bone structure of the whale’s fin and the cat’s paw are the same because they both came from a recent common ancestor. This is an example of what kind of structures?

• Homologous Structures

• Vestigial Structures

• Analogous Structures

A monarch butterfly has wings and can fly and blue bird can also fly. The monarch butterfly and blue bird DO NOT have a recent common ancestor. What kind of evolution is that an example of?

• homologous structures created by divergent evolution

• Combined Evolution between the butterfly and bird

• analogous structures created by convergent evolution

• co-evolution between the butterfly and bird

A species of ants that lives only on a particular plant. The ants provide protection for the plant by fighting off insects that try to eat it. The plant provides food and shelter for the ants. This mutually beneficial relationship has caused the ant and the plant to evolve together. What kind of evolution is this an example of?

• Coevolution

• Combined evolution

• Convergent Evolution

• Divergent Evolution

Humans no longer have any use for their wisdom teeth. Even so, in our evolutionary history we once used our wisdom teeth for greater jaw strength. Wisdom teeth are an example of what kind of structure?

• Homologous Structure

• Vestigial Structures
