1

What is the function of these structures?

1

Click on all the structural differences between butterfly and bird wings

1

Do analogous structures show common ancestry?

1

Why might cave fish have evolved without eyesight?

For 8 to 13. Identify the example as homologous, analogous, vestigial or as embrology
1

The wings of bats and birds are both used for flight but have different structures. Birds and bats are not related

1

Snakes have little leg bones that have no function

1

The embroys of humans, fish, and salamanders have common features. This indicates a common ancestor.

1

Whales have a pelvis and little femur bones even though they do not have legs.

1

Horses, cats, dogs, and humans have the same number of bones in the upper arm. These organisms have similar bone structure in the limbs but are used for different functions. This indicates a common ancestor.

1

Dolphins and sharks have a streamlined body, flippers, and a tail however, dolphins are mammals and sharks are fish. Dolphins and sharks do not have a common ancestor.

1

How many differences are there between the human and the chicken (count the number of highlighted sequences. count both rows)

1

How many differences are there between the human and the horse (count the number of highlighted sequences)

1

How many differences are there between the human and the tuna (count the number of highlighted sequences)

1

How many differences are there between the human and the monkey (count the number of highlighted sequences)

1

What organism is closely related to humans?

1

What organism is least closely related to humans?

What is the BEST evidence to support evolution and common ancestory?
