- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is an example of a vestigial structure?the wings of a red-tailed hawkthe hind limbs of a house catthe fins of sharksthe tailbone of a human
- 11. Multiple ChoiceWhich is not evidence for evolution?many animals have homologous structures due to common ancestryMany animals have vestigial structures from an ancestorWe can observe changes in life forms by observing the fossil recordAll of these are evidence for evolution
- 12. Multiple ChoiceHow do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth?Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of yearsFossils show that some species have gone extinctFossils show how life forms present today are different than those from the pastDifferent sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time

- 21. 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. - 22. Multiple ChoiceHumans, birds, whales, and lizards all have similar arm bones. What is the reason for this?The function of these bones is the same in all animalsThey live in similar environmentsThey have a common ancestorAll organisms resemble humans

Vestigial structures
structures that perform a similar function but are not similar in origin
remnants of once-important structures that have slowly lost all or most of their function
features found in different organisms that share structural similarities but may have very different functions
preserved remains of an organism

The bones are vestigial structures that had a function in an ancestor.
The bones are homologous structures to the wings of butterflies.
