What are homologous structures?

Similar structures found in different species that are inherited from a common ancestor

Structures that are the result of convergent evolution

Structures that serve completely different functions in different species

Structures that are not inherited from a common ancestor

What is the advantage of finches having different shaped beaks?

To be able to eat the food readily available in the environment.

To look different from other species.

To protect itself against predators.

To protect itself against prey.

Pollution caused the moths to turn darker. The dark moths then had an advantage over light moths.

White moths taste better than dark moths.

Dark moths taste better than white moths.

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Because they come from recessive alleles.

Because they come from dominant alleles.

Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

What are vestigial organs?

Structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor

Structures are similar physical features in organisms that share a common ancestor, but the features serve completely different functions.

artificial device that replaces a missing body part

A type of instrument played in church.

The fossil record provides evidence that...

older species gave rise to more recent species

fossils have no connection to today's species.

Time between being born to having babies.

Time you spend with your grandparents.

Time it takes to grow a body part that was cut off.
