Evidences For Evolution

Which among the following best explains the fossil records as an evidence of evolution?

• Recorded events from the past indicates that the Earth was once filled with water.

• Fossils suggest that the Earth is not the same as it is today,for instance there were once a huge massive interconnected land termed as Pangaea.

• Fossils recorded the history of life Earth and indicates that ancient life forms were different from modern day species.

• Recorded activities of animals from prehistoric times suggest that people came from monkeys.

What evidence of evolution is portrayed by the unique species on islands which are usually isolated from another mainland?

• Fossil record

• Embryology

• Comparative Anatomy

• Biogeography

Which is NOT true about fossils?

• They suggest that life has a history.

• They are proofs of life in the past.

• The older the fossil, the less it looks like modern day species

• They seem precisely like modern species, regardless of their age.

How will you use biogeography as an evidence to infer evolutionary relationship?

• The unique characteristics of the organisms living on a secluded area is indicative of their ancestry and speciation.

• Organisms living closer at each other and sharing the same niche are also closely related to each other.

• Biogeography revealed that organisms with similar developmental pattern even if found at different places might once live together before they were separated due to natural events or forces.

• All of the above

Which of the following is not a piece of evidence for evolution to infer the evolutionary relationship between organisms?

• Comparative Anatomy

• Molecular Bonds

• Fossil Record

• Embryology
