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

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

Similarities in bone arrangements, like those in the picture, support the hypothesis that...

these organisms share a common ancestor

these organisms are not well adapted

these organisms all share the same DNA sequences

these organisms are members of the same species

Two organisms that are closely related would have

completely different DNA sequence

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

A scientist compares DNA taken from four different living species. Which of the following statements is true?

Species A and Z share a recent common ancestor.

Species X evolved from Species Y.

Species A and Species Y are the same.

Species Y and Species Z can interbreed.

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.

How can the pattern of change in the fossil record best be explained?

The mollusks were well adapted to their stable environment. A large, sudden change occurred in their environment. After the change the mollusks with the bigger shells were better adapted for the new environment.

The mollusks were well adapted to their stable environment. The mollusks hybridized with a smaller species of mollusk. A new species of mollusk with a bigger shell resulted.

The mollusks were not well adapted to their environment. The length of the mollusks' shells changed gradually over time. The mollusks in the original population that had small shells died over a period of many years.

What is biogeography?

The study of the distribution of species and ecosystems on Earth

The study of the interaction between living organisms and their environment.

The study of the structure and function of cells and their components.

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.
