What statement best supports the idea that some dinosaurs evolved into birds?

The fossil record shows that some species of later dinosaurs had a great deal of body armor, just as modern birds.

The fossil record shows that some species of earlier dinosaurs were extremely large, just as modern birds.

The fossil record shows that some species of later dinosaurs were feathered, just as modern birds.

What determines which individuals will survive and pass their traits on to the next generation?

Homologous structures

natural selection

vestigial structures

interspecies reproduction

How does embryology support the Theory of Evolution?

None of these answers

It shows that they have a common ancestor because of their similarities.

Animals change over time.

A change in the inherited characteristics of an organism over time is ________

ancestry

evolution

development

growth

The most recent ancestral form or species from which two different species evolved is known as ________________________.

an embryonic stage.

evolution.

development.

a common ancestor.

Why does common ancestry relate to evolution?

Common ancestors make evolution happen more quickly.

Evolution can never take place with common ancestors.

Evolution only happens when there are common ancestors.

have only a tail if they are non-human.

show different stages of development.

look very similar.
