Does a theory have to be supported by evidence?
NO. take Darwin's theory of evolution for example. there is no real evidence, but it is accepted as fact by most in America today.
How does comparative anatomy support then idea that organisms share ancestors?
Comparative anatomy does not prove evolution itself, but is strong evidence because it shows that animals and species do change through periods of time; if evolution were not so, there would be no comparison possible since they would either be exactly the same or they would be different species.
Enzymes are an example of what in chemistry?
Enzymes are studied by biochemistry.
What is an example of micro evolution in organisms?
example of an micro-evolution in an organism?
What is biochemistry all about?
Biochemistry is all about the chemistry which goes on within living things! Because chemistry is all about atoms and molecules etc biochemistry is at a molecular level. For example, biochemistry could be the way DNA replicates within a cell and it investigates how it does so and what contributes. The majority of Biochemistry is about the intricate goings-on inside cells. Hope this helps!
How does comparative biochemistry prove evolution?
Prove is a term used in math. Comparative biochemistry supports with many lines of converging evidence the theory of evolution by natural selection. For a brief example consider cytochrome C, the electron shuttle that shuttles electrons between the I and II complex of the electron transport chain. This biochemical process is highly conserved in many types of organisms, being remarkably the same process from organism to organism, but showing the expected slight genetic variation that can be tracked down the taxa to support the common ancestry of evolution.

What is direct evidence of evolution?
direct evidence is the observation of evolution as it occurs. We have discovered novel genes conferring an advantage in an environment in which the ancestral population lacked those genes entirely. One example is flavobacterium that evolved nylonase enzymes. Antibiotic resistance is another example.
Describe three lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution Provide an example for each line of evidence you list?
Fossil Record the ordered array in which fossils appear within layers of sedimentary rocks. Comparative Anatomy comparison of body structures in different species, which give signs of common descent. Biogeography the geographical distribution of species.
Direct evidence about theory of evolution?
There are thousands of instances of direct evidence of evolution. The most well-known example is that of Darwin's Finches. These finches were observed through fossil records to have changed over time to adapt to their environment.

What is an example of a comparative?
comparative degree of amiable
What is fossil evidence?
fossil evidence is when scientist study fossils to figure out how the animal died how it evoled
Was Darwin's theory of evolution accurate to today's findings?
I suppose it is after all there are som many evidence about it for example the ancestor things to do with apes.
What is an example of evident?
Dinosaur bones, plant fossil, sealife fossil the evidence proves that there were animals long ago, and can support evolution
What are some of the criticisms of the theory of evolution?
The theory of evolution has many criticisms but none have proven evolution wrong. For example, some people argue that the bacterial flagellum is 'irreducibly complex' and therefore can not have evolved, even though the evidence shows that it not only could have, but has.
Enzymes are an example of what in chemistry?
Enzymes are studied by biochemistry.
