Are grey wolvews similar to dogs?
No. Wolves and foxes are two completely different species, therefore, they are not the same.
Two species are said to be related if they share the?
ancestors
How can scientist learn about an arganisms ancestors?
Scientists can learn more about ancestors of different species and organisms by looking at fossil records and observing related species that are alive today.
Similarity of structure of the forelimb of a bird and a mammal is an example of what evidence?
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
What was Charles Darwin's first piece of evidence?
On his travels he found that many species of animals were similar, but different even though they were not in the same environment. I suggest you read On the Origin of Species or pick up a good book on Darwin. There are also books specifically about his time on the Beagle.
Species that share a common ancestors have?
The limbs of Species A have a similar structure to the limbs of Species B, but perform a different function.
Similar structures that related species have inherited from common ancestors are called?
Homologous structures.
What are examples of structural evidence of evolution?
Similar bone structures in species
What are humans and their human like ancestors called?
Humans and their human-like ancestors are called hominins. This includes species such as Homo sapiens (modern humans) and other related species that have characteristics similar to humans.
Are there any extinct types of platypus?
Yes. Fossil evidence has shown that there was once a giant species of platypus which had teeth, unlike modern platypuses which only have grinding plates. This giant species was very similar to the modern platypus in every other way.
How can embryonic development can be used as evidence for evolution?
Related species have similar embryos.
Why is the ginkgo tree sometimes called a living fossil?
the ginko living species look similar to its fossil ancestors
How does comparing physiological similarities of living species provide evidence of?
Physiological similarities suggest the species evolved from the same ancestor.
What term refers to similar structures that relate to species have inherited from common ancestors?
homologous structures (correct answer, your response)
How does the geologic time scale help support the theory of evolution?
It shows the process of wich the species eveolved, what are it's common ancestors, how its related to similar species, and so on and so fourth.
Are grey wolvews similar to dogs?
No. Wolves and foxes are two completely different species, therefore, they are not the same.
What homologous structures in different species evidence of?
Homologous structures in different species are evidence of a common evolutionary ancestry. These structures have a similar origin, but may have different functions in different species. Studying homologous structures helps researchers understand how species have diverged and evolved over time.
