Accepted Answer

A)  inherit one arm. 
B)  inherit two arms. 
C)  inherit three arms. 
D)  inherit one arm that is larger and stronger than the parent's arm. 
E)  inherit two arms, each slightly smaller than the parent's single arm. 
A)  inherit one arm. 
B)  inherit two arms. 
C)  inherit three arms. 
D)  inherit one arm that is larger and stronger than the parent's arm.

Question 2

Given the comparative study of embryology, it is concluded that genes controlling embryonic development are essentially the same.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

Analogous structures are evidence of common ancestry.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 4

The sugar glider in Australia and the flying squirrel in North America are both small mammals with large expanses of loose skin between their forelimbs and hindlimbs, allowing them to glide from tree to tree within their respective forest habitats. These two species are not evolutionarily related but are very similar in their overall appearance. Darwin's explanation for their similarity is that

Accepted Answer

A)  both are descendants from a recent common ancestor. 
B)  each have adapted in very similar ways to similar habitats. 
C)  the similarity of the two unrelated species is simply coincidence. 
D)  the two species were created to have similarities. 
E)  the two species must be related to possess such like qualities. 
A)  both are descendants from a recent common ancestor. 
B)  each have adapted in very similar ways to similar habitats. 
C)  the similarity of the two unrelated species is simply coincidence. 
D)  the two species were created to have similarities. 
E)  the two species must be related to possess such like qualities.

Question 5

The molecule cytochrome c supports the theory of evolution as biochemical evidence. Which of the following is part of that evidence?

Accepted Answer

A)  Cytochrome c has the same function in all organisms. 
B)  The genetic code for cytochrome c differs among species. 
C)  Cytochrome c is found in a variety of organisms from yeast to humans. 
D)  Cytochrome c plays a role critical to survival. 
E)  All of the above answers describe reasons why cytochrome c supports the theory of evolution.
