Bird and butterfly wings have the same functions but different structures. What type of evolutionary evidence is this?
Analogous structures
Embryological development
Genetic comparisons
Homologous structures
When unrelated species evolve similar characteristics because they live in similar
environments
Divergent Evolution
Speciation
Convergent Evolution
Punctuated equilibrium
A number of different species arise from one common ancestor
- New environments caused differences to evolve in populations
Convergent Evolution
Divergent Evolution
Coevolution
Gradualism
Which type of structure is depicted in the image?

DNA
How do fossils support evolution?
The fossil record provides evidence that organisms have changed over time.
Individual species disappear and reappear in the fossil record over time.
The fossil record provides evidence that all organisms developed at the same time.
Organisms in the fossil record are identical to living organisms.
