Scientists can determine relatedness among organisms by comparing partial amino acid sequences. The table (below) shows four partial amino acid sequences from four different organisms.

Which organism is the LEAST related to the other three organisms?

The image below shows part of the humerus bone (arm bone) in different genera of primates.

Which statement is best supported by the observable structures of the different humerus bones?

Which of the following best explains the significance of the embryological similarities observed in the developing embryos of a hog, calf, rabbit, and human as shown in the image?

On the diagram below, select the common ancestor for the Dog and Coyote:

An analysis of DNA and RNA sequences can be used to classify organisms. A dendrogram, such as the one shown below, is based on molecular data. It can be used to represent evolutionary relationships within a group of organisms that are hypothesized to have descended from a common ancestor.

Which statement is best supported by the information in this dendrogram?

Which of the following observations provides the best evidence that Pakicetus is an ancestor of Rodhocetus in the evolutionary transition toward modern whales?

The tailbone gets its name from what it used to be. It’s a remnant of the tail we used to have. Humans evolved not to have tails a long time ago. The coccyx is a vestigial piece of your body — part of our anatomy that isn’t necessary for us to survive, like evolutionary leftovers from our past.

Which of the following statements best explains the presence of the coccyx (tailbone) as a vestigial structure in humans?

Below are the actual results of similarities of the protein sequences of the cytochrome b gene (a gene involved in intracellular energy use) from six different species.

Which conclusion about the relatedness is supported by this data?

The diagram below shows the relationship between the DNA sequences of 4 species and an unknown species.

Which species is closely related to the unknown species?

Camelids, including llamas, alpacas, and camels, have unique two-toed feet with soft pads and toenails, rather than hooves, which are well-suited for various terrains, especially soft or rocky ground.

The fact that these mammals have two-toes feet with soft pads and toenails provides evidence that they...

In 2015, paleontologists uncovered a fossilized jawbone of an ancient bear species. Scientist proposed that modern bears evolved from a common ancestor with prehistoric bear species.

Which type of evidence would best support the idea that modern bears and prehistoric bears share a common evolutionary ancestor?

A cladogram of six species is shown.

Based on the cladogram, identify which physical characteristics are present and absent for the Salamander.

Fossil evidence shows that certain ancient insect species first appeared around 200 million years ago. For nearly 100 million years, they exhibited little to no change before abruptly undergoing a genetic transformation.

Which evolutionary process BEST explains this pattern of evolution?

Categorize the following as either Gradualisms or Punctuated equilibrium

Scientists have studied the evolutionary timeline of horses. One of the earliest known horse ancestors, Eohippus, lived about 55 million years ago and was roughly the size of a small dog, standing about 30–60 cm (1–2 ft) tall.

Over millions of years, horse species evolved to become larger, with modern horses (Equus ferus caballus) standing up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) tall. Despite this change in size, scientists have noted that the overall body structure of horses—such as their four-legged stance and hoofed feet—has remained relatively consistent for millions of years.

Which of the following conclusions is supported by this information?
