5
The cat leg and the bird wing have similar structure but different functions,what may this mean
they aet similar foods
they have identical DNA
the both can fly
a common ancestor
6
The fact that humans have gills and tails similar to other animal embryos might mean
we have the capabilities of becoming these animals
we come from the same continent
we share a common ancestor
we have identical blood proteins as them
7
Which factor leads to the extinction of a species?
changes in migration patterns
changes in the environment, but no changes in a species
failure to evolve into simpler organisms
lethal mutations
8
Comparison of DNA and blood proteins is known as
Comparative Genetics
Comparative Biochemistry
Comparative Anatomy
Comparative Embryology
9
Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics if they are overused because bacteria can
be selectively bred for survival
change whenever they want
slow down their metabolic rate
mutate for resistance

19
The Modern Theory of Evolution states Natural Selection is true and explains
the genetic basis of variation
competition within a species.
survival of the fittest
extinction of a species
20
A shark and dolphin have similar body shapes and fins, but they are not closely related, why?
their Bone structure is NOT similar
their embryos are not similar
their DNA is NOT similar
they breathe differently
