Question 3
3.
What explains the similarities in the limb structures of humans, mice, and bats?
Different evolution paths for each species.
Adaptation to similar environments over time.
Common descent suggests shared ancestry among species.
Random chance leading to similar structures.
Question 4
4.
What type of anatomy investigates the similarities seen in different species' structures?
Cellular biology studies microscopic structures.
Paleontology studies fossils and extinct species.
Genetics focuses on DNA variation.
Comparative anatomy examines structural similarities.
Question 5
5.
What demonstrates the gradual evolution of complex structures like the eye?
Complex structures appear suddenly in evolution.
All eyes evolved to be identical across species.
Simple structures evolved into more complex forms.
Eyes evolved independently with no ancestors.
