Which of the following is an example of a homologous structure?
What does the fossil record primarily provide evidence for?
Which type of evidence for evolution is most associated with DNA analysis?
The presence of vestigial structures in organisms supports the theory of evolution.
Fossils can show abrupt changes in species that do not align with gradual evolution.
What is one example of a modern-day vestigial structure in humans?
Select the types of evidence that support the theory of evolution (choose two):
Match the evidence type with the appropriate description:

If an organism appears in the fossil record
Explain how the fossil record and homologies provide evidence for the theory of evolution.
What best describes gradualism in evolution?
Abrupt appearance in the fossil record suggests that:
Stasis refers to a period where no significant evolutionary changes occur in a species.
Gradualism and abrupt appearance are two incompatible concepts in evolutionary biology.
What is one factor that can lead to stasis in a species?
Choose two factors that might lead to different rates of evolutionary change:
