Multiple Choice
The scientific theory of evolution is supported by different types of evidence. The diagrams below show the skeletons of two different animal species. How does comparing the skeletons of these animals provide support for the scientific theory of evolution?
It provides information about the organisms' habitats.
It shows possible common ancestry between organisms.
It provides information to determine the organisms' ages.
It shows possible chromosomal similarities between organisms.

Multiple Choice
According to fossil records, the horses that lived 50 million years ago were much smaller, weaker and slower than modern horses. Which process is most likely responsible for the changes that have led to the increased size, strength, and speed in horses?
commensalism
inbreeding
migration
evolution by natural selection

Multiple Choice
The diagram illustrates an embryonic stage of two organisms. Which of the following can be determined by observing the embryos shown in the diagram?
The organisms share a common ancestry.
The organisms belong to the same genus.
The organisms are native to the same geographic areas.
The organisms will grow into anatomically similar adults.

Multiple Choice
Scientists have found evidence that about 2.4 million years ago a gene regulating jaw muscles mutated and may have led to the more graceful human jaw we see today. The diagram below shows the skulls of 3 hominid species.
Which statement below most closely explains the link between jaw size and hominid evolution?
The jaws of hominids evolved to be smaller and less protruding over time.
The jaws of hominids evolved to be larger and more protruding over time.
There appears to be no change in the jaws of hominids over time.
The jaws of hominids changed over time due to a change in brain size.

Species 1 is most closely related to Species 8.
Species 2 is most closely related to Species 3.
Species 3 is most closely related to Species 7.
Species 5 is most closely related to Species 6.
