Read the statement that follows:

“When you look at a human’s arm and a whale’s limb, I think you are looking at two completely different structures. They do not look the same, and they do not even do the same thing! There is no way a walking creature and a swimming creature are related.”

Why do fossils found in deeper rock layers tend to be older than those found in upper layers?

a) Older fossils are pushed to the bottom over time

b) The deeper layers form first, covering older organisms

c) Younger fossils sink into lower layers

d) Fossils randomly distribute throughout rock layers

Which of these is NOT a line of evidence for evolution?

DNA / Biochemistry

Comparative Anatomy

Embryology

All of these are lines of evidence

Scientists compare organisms' DNA to support the theory that all species share a common ____

Separation

Population

Ancestor

Environment

How do transitional fossils provide evidence for evolution?

a) They show that species appear suddenly without change

b) They display a mix of traits between ancestral and modern day species

c) They disprove the idea that species share common ancestors

d) They are identical to modern species, proving no change has occurred

A scientist discovers a fossil of an ancient horse-like species that had three toes. How might this fossil support the theory of evolution?

a) It shows that modern horses always had hooves

b) It provides evidence that horses evolved from ancestors with multiple toes

c) It suggests that evolution only happens in certain species

d) It proves that all species eventually evolve into horses

When all of the organisms of a species have died it is called...

Evolution

Adaptation

Extinction

Natural Selection

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth?

Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of years

Fossils show how life forms present today are different than those from the past

Fossils show that some species have gone extinct

Different sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time

If two species have similar DNA sequences, it would indicate that they

share a common ancestor.

are not closely related.

will have similar fitness.

have no evolutionary relationship.

The study of embryos of various organisms to show a common ancestor because of similarities in development is known as what?

Natural Selection

Speciation

Embryology

Evolution

According to homologous structures, the similarities of mammal limbs provide evidence that...

The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment

The organisms have the same genetic diseases

The organisms may have developed from a common ancestor
