Structures as different as human arms, bat wings, and dolphin flippers contain many of the same bones, these bones having developed from very similar embryonic tissues. How do biologists interpret these similarities?
by identifying the bones as being homologous structures
by proposing that humans, bats, and dolphins share a common ancestor
by the principle of convergent evolution
Three of the statements above are correct.
Two of the statements above are correct.

Over evolutionary time, many cave-dwelling organisms have lost their eyes. Tapeworms have lost their digestive systems. Whales have lost their hind limbs. How can natural selection account for these losses?
The ancestors of these organisms experienced harmful mutations that forced them to find new habitats that these species had not previously used.
Under particular circumstances that persisted for long periods, each of these structures presented greater costs than benefits.
Natural selection accounts for these losses by the principle of use and disuse.
Natural selection cannot account for losses, only for innovations.

Members of two different species possess a similar-looking structure that they use in a similar fashion to perform the same function. Which information would best help distinguish between an explanation based on homology versus one based on convergent evolution?
The two species share many proteins in common, and the nucleotide sequences that code for these proteins are almost identical.
Both species are well adapted to their particular environments.
The sizes of the structures in adult members of both species are similar.
The two species live at great distance from each other.

Ichthyosaurs were aquatic dinosaurs. Fossils show us that they had dorsal fins and tails, as do fish, even though their closest relatives were terrestrial reptiles that had neither dorsal fins nor aquatic tails. The dorsal fins and tails of ichthyosaurs and fish are
examples of convergent evolution.
homologous.
adaptations to a common environment.
Three of the responses above are correct.
