• Homologous Structures
• Embryology
• Vestigial Organs

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
• belong to the same species
• must range great distances to eat

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

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

The fossil record help scientists

• better understand the kinds of organisms that lived in the past

• better understand how the environment has changed over time

• better understand how organisms have evolved over time

• all of the above
