Fossil D is older than fossil C

Fossil A and C are the same age

Fossil B is older than fossil C

Fossils A is older than fossil B

The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

are descended from a common ancestor

Have very similar skeletal structures

must range great distances to eat

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor

The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment

The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases

All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

What conclusions can be made based on this table shown?

the red panda and the racoon are the most closely related

the American black bear and the giant panda are most closely related

the giant panda and the red panda are most closely related

the giant panda and the racoon are most closely related

The picture shows the members of the Camelidae family. The physical features and the geographical origin of these animals provide evidence that -

they live in the same type of environment.

have slowly evolved to become herbivores.

Genome maps provide the DNA sequences of chromosomes. Some scientists have compared the genome maps of a hedgehog and a sloth. What do these genome maps allow the scientists to determine?

How closely related the two species are to each other.

The color patterns of the offspring of each species

How much the size ranges of the two species differ

The methods of protein synthesis that each species uses

What conclusion can you draw from the fact that many modern whale species have vestigial pelvic and leg bones?

The ancestors of whales may have been land mammals

Whales could walk if they wanted to

Whales are preparing to evolve into land animals

Someday whales will be able to walk and will have legs

Scientists discover that cells from two species of organisms are made up of similar proteins, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship. If the scientists do further biochemical analyses, which additional finding would support this conclusion?

The anatomical structure of both organisms is similar.

The fossils of both organisms are found relatively close to each other in the fossil record.

The DNA nucleotide sequence of both organisms is similar.

Both populations of organisms have undergone natural selection over time.

The fact that both these mammals incubate their immature offspring in a pouch provides evidence that they-

Are descended from a common ancestor

Must range great distances to eat

Have very similar skeletal structures

The picture shows similarities among the forelimbs of three animals. The similarities provide evidence for which of the following hypotheses?

Cats, whales, and bats had the same ancestor millions of years ago.

Legs and wings may have evolved from flippers.

All mammals have evolved from an ancestor that was a bat.

A cat’s leg, a whales’sflipper, and a bat’s wing have identical functions

Two organisms that are closely related would have

completely different DNA sequence

Which is not evidence for evolution?

All of these are evidence for evolution

many animals have homologous structures due to common ancestry

Many animals have vestigial structures from an ancestor

We can observe changes in life forms by observing the fossil record

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth?

Fossils show how life forms present today are different than those from the past

Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of years

Fossils show that some species have gone extinct

Different sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time

The diagram illustrates an embryonic stage of two organisms. Which of the following can be determined by observing the embryos shown in the diagram

The organisms share a common ancestry.

The organisms belong to the same genus.

The organisms are native to the same geographic areas.

The organisms will grow into anatomically similar adults.
