Frage 1

Frage
Many animals have similar [blank_start]physical[blank_end] traits, such as having a [blank_start]tail[blank_end] or 4 legs. These [blank_start]shared[blank_end] characteristics are the result of having a [blank_start]common[blank_end] ancestor.
Antworten

  • tail
  • shared
  • common

Frage 8

Frage
The 8 types of invertebrates are: [blank_start]sponges[blank_end], [blank_start]cnidaria[blank_end], [blank_start]flatworms[blank_end], [blank_start]roundworms[blank_end]. [blank_start]segmented worms[blank_end], [blank_start]mollusks[blank_end], [blank_start]arthropods[blank_end], and [blank_start]echinoderms[blank_end].
Antworten

  • roundworms
  • flatworms
  • cnidaria
  • mollusks
  • segmented worms
  • arthropods
  • echinoderms

Frage 9

Frage
An embryo is an [blank_start]unborn[blank_end] or unhatched offspring that is developing from the [blank_start]fertilized[blank_end] egg. [blank_start]Vertebrate[blank_end] embryos can be compared to determine common [blank_start]ancestry[blank_end].
Antworten
  • unborn
  • fertilized
  • Vertebrate
  • ancestry

Frage 10

Frage
DNA [blank_start]sequences[blank_end] can be compared between [blank_start]species[blank_end] to determine how similar they are. Human and chimpanzee DNA are [blank_start]98.8[blank_end]% the same.
Antworten
  • 98.8
  • sequences
  • species

Frage 11

Frage
Body [blank_start]structures[blank_end] in modern organisms evolved from a structure in a [blank_start]common[blank_end] ancestor. These structures can have different [blank_start]functions[blank_end], but still have the same basic [blank_start]form[blank_end].
Antworten
  • structures
  • common
  • functions
  • form

Frage 12

Frage
The six bones found in all tetrapod legs are [blank_start]humerus[blank_end], [blank_start]radius[blank_end], [blank_start]ulna[blank_end], [blank_start]carpals[blank_end], [blank_start]metacarpal[blank_end], and [blank_start]phalanges[blank_end].
Antworten
  • humerus
  • radius
  • ulna
  • carpals
  • metacarpal
  • phalanges

Frage 13

Frage
The ancestor of modern whales walked on [blank_start]four legs[blank_end] on land (terrestrial). [blank_start]Fossil[blank_end] remains of various [blank_start]extinct[blank_end] species have been foumd.
Antworten
  • four legs
  • Fossil
  • extinct

Frage 14

Frage
Hominids are [blank_start]primate[blank_end] family that includes [blank_start]modern[blank_end] humans and their ancestors. Hominids split from other primates about [blank_start]seven[blank_end] million years ago.
Antworten
  • primate
  • modern
  • seven

Frage 15

Frage
Cladograms show the amount of relatedness among organisms based on the number of physical characteristics that they share. Before the discovery of [blank_start]DNA[blank_end], organisms that [blank_start]looked[blank_end] the same were believed to be [blank_start]related[blank_end].
Antworten
  • DNA
  • looked
  • related

Frage 16

Frage
Early embryos resemble each other because they shared/[blank_start]evolved[blank_end] from a [blank_start]common[blank_end] ancestor. Animals with analogous structures usually share the same [blank_start]environment[blank_end] and have similar [blank_start]adaptations[blank_end].
Antworten
  • environment
  • adaptations
  • common
  • evolved

Frage 17

Frage
Amphibians, such as frogs, have a [blank_start]backbone[blank_end] but not an amniote egg, but reptiles, such as lizards and birds, and mammals, such as humans and kangaroos, have the amniote egg because their offspring develop on [blank_start]land[blank_end].
Antworten
  • backbone
  • land

Frage 18

Frage
Phylogenetic trees are more [blank_start]complex[blank_end] cladograms that show evolutionary [blank_start]relationships[blank_end] where extinct ancestors are found at [blank_start]branch[blank_end] points, and extant species are at the [blank_start]top[blank_end] of the tree.
Antworten
  • complex
  • relationships
  • branch
  • top

Frage 19

Frage
All living organisms on Earth [blank_start]descended[blank_end] from a common ancestor but each species has evolved specific [blank_start]adaptations[blank_end] which allow them to [blank_start]survive[blank_end] and reproduce in the environment that they live in.
Antworten
  • descended
  • adaptations
  • survive

Frage 20

Frage
Pieces of evidence that prove the process of evolution.
Antworten
  • Physical traits
  • Similarities in embryos
  • Homologous structures
  • DNA sequences
  • Fossils
  • Cladograms
