Matching
Match the following.
Premises:
Ostriches have wings but do not fly,and humans have auricular muscles even though we cannot swivel our ears.
Measuring the decay of radioactive elements suggests that the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old.
Male guppies evolve brighter coloration when they are placed in a predator-free environment and less-brilliant colors when they are placed in an environment with predators.
Whales,cats,bats,and gorillas all have similar sets of forelimb bones despite the fact that these forelimbs are used for extremely different functions.
The number of nucleotide differences between cytochrome c oxidase genes in different species is related to how recently the two species shared a common ancestor.
Responses:
evidence for evolution from gene modification
evidence for evolution from the existence of vestigial characters
