- 2. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following pieces of evolution evidence deals with comparing similar structures in various species?fossil recordcomparing embryologycomparing biochemistrycomparing anatomy
- 3. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following pieces of evolution evidence deals with structures common in embryos that form differently or for different purposes in adult form?fossil recordcomparing embryologycomparing biochemistrycomparing anatomy
- 4. Multiple Choice
The forelimbs of penguin, alligator, bat, human are which of the following?homologous structuresvestigial structures - 5. Multiple ChoiceIf an organism has a vestigial structure, that structure likely once had a function in a(n)close relativeearly ancestorunrelated organismembryological stage
- 6. Multiple ChoiceTwo organisms that are closely related would havevery similar DNA sequenceexactly the same DNA sequencesno proteins in commoncompletely different DNA sequence
- 7. Multiple ChoiceHow would you describe this evolution?Homologous structureAnalogous structureStructural adaptionFunctional adaption
- 8. Multiple ChoiceWhich best describes these fossils?The oldest fossils can be found on the lower layersThe oldest fossils can be found at the top layersThe youngest fossils are always found on the bottom layersYou can not tell the age of any of these fossils
- 9. Multiple ChoiceStructures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestryvestigial structureshomologous structuresadaptive radiationfossil
- 10. Multiple ChoiceThe diagram above shows an embryo of different vertebrates at different stages of development. Which field of study would support the similarities in development as evidence for evolution?comparative biochemistrypaleontologycomparative biogeographycomparative embryology
- 11. Multiple ChoiceThe forelimbs of vertebrates, like the ones pictured here, are similar in terms of number of bones and the orientation of bones. Which best describes how comparing homologous structures provides evidence of evolution?The genes for the body plan and forelimb layout were present in a common ancestral species vertebrates share, thus passed onto all vertebrates.Similar anatomical structures show how animals adapt to changing environmentsHomologous structures show that different species evolve at different ratesHomologous structures don’t actually provide evidence for evolution
- 12. Multiple ChoiceA fossil of an extinct dinosaur is found and the anatomy of the fossil shows similarities to that of a bird. What could this mean?This is purely by chance and isn't significantThe extinct dinosaur and modern bird share a common ancestorAll dinosaurs evolved into birds and that's why there aren't any dinosaurs alive todayDinosaurs choose to fly, and evolved into birds to escape predation and capture food
- 13. Multiple ChoiceThe diagram illustrates an embryonic stage of two organisms.
Which of the following can be determined by observing the embryos shown in the diagramThe 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. - 14. Multiple ChoiceStructures that have different mature forms but develop from the same embryonic tissue are calledanalagousadaptationshomologousfossils
- 15. Multiple ChoiceWhales are aquatic mammals that contain a pelvis bone. Even though it does not aid in its movement, the function must have been used by a common ancestor of the whale. Thus, the pelvis is referred to as a(n)vestigial structureanalogous structurehomologous structure
- 16. Multiple ChoiceIf species A and B have very similar genes and proteins, what is probably TRUE?species A and B share a relatively recent common ancestorspecies A evolved independently of species B for a long periodspecies A is younger than species Bspecies A is older than species B
- 17. Multiple ChoiceAnatomical remnants (left over structures) that were important in the organism's ancestors, but are no longer used in the same way.Homologous StructuresAnalogous StructuresVestigial StructuresComparative Anatomy
- 18. Multiple ChoiceStructures that are similar in form (structures) with different functions such as the wings of a bat and the arms of humans.Homologous StructuresVestigial StructuresAnalogous StructuresMolecular Homology
- 19. Multiple ChoiceThis can show the changes that occurred over time for a specific type of creature. Older fossils are found deeper than more recent fossils.PhylogenyHomologous StructuresFossil RecordVestigial Structures
- 20. Multiple ChoiceComparing embryos at different stages of development can show different relationships between species.EmbryologyCladogramHomologous StructuresAnalogous Structures
- 21. Multiple ChoiceThe comparing of similarities and differences of body structures in form and function.Analogous StructuresCommon AncestryComparative AnatomyFossil Record
- 22. Multiple ChoiceStructures that are very different in structure or anatomy but have similar functions such as the wings of a bird and a butterfly.Vestigial StructuresHomologous StructuresAnalogous StructuresCladogram
