- 1. Multiple Choice
An example of genetic variation in the bacteria population would be...
the bacteria colony will grow quickly if treated with hand sanitizer
some may become resistant and survive hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer will allow the bacteria to obtain a better food sourced
Hand sanitizer would have no bearing on bacteria they are already resistand

- 25. Drop Down
Two bodily structures, found in different species, have different internal bone structure but have a similar purpose in each organism (a)
analogous strucutrehomologous structurevestigial strucutre - 26. Multiple Choice
Evidence of evolution from the field of paleontology examines
DNA and protein sequences
embryos of different species
fossils compared to living organisms
the location of different species across the planer
- 27. Multiple Choice
Early during development, organisms as diverse as humans, a mouse, a bat can appear indistinguishable. All of their embryos look nearly identical suggest that
during development, humans go through stages of being a mouse and a bat
this is coincidental
These are different species with shared ancestry to all mammals
there is no reason for this at all it just happens naturally
