Usually the bone structure of the compared organisms will hint at evolutionary relation. For example, the fin bones of a whale are similar to the bones in a human hand.

What is the related change in two or more species?

That is co-evolution.


What are the 5 types for evolution?

The five types of evolution are divergent evolution (species diverge from a common ancestor), convergent evolution (unrelated species develop similar traits), coevolution (two species evolve in response to each other), parallel evolution (related species independently evolve similar traits), and adaptive radiation (rapid diversification of species to fill ecological niches).

How can embryonic development can be used as evidence for evolution?

Related species have similar embryos.


What kinds of evidence Indicate indicate how closely species are related?

The kinds of evidence that indicates how closely species are related are evidence of DNA and protein structure.


What is mimicry in terms of evolution?

It is when one species copies the behavior or appearance of another, un-related species, to fool predators.


Two species that are closely related become increasingly different through?

Divergent evolution


What is divergent evolution and how does it contribute to the diversity of species in biology?

Divergent evolution is when two or more related species evolve different traits over time. This process leads to the creation of new species with unique characteristics, increasing biodiversity in biology.


How are the areas of study-evolution and classification-interlinked?

Evolutionary relationships are traced in the classification of organisms. For classification of organisms, we look for similarities among organisms which allows us to group them. The more characteristics two species will have in common, the more closely they are related. It indicates that more closely two species are related, the more recently they would have had a common ancestor. Thus, classification of species is in fact a reflection of their evolutionary relationship.


Is evolution closely related to DNA?

Yes, evolution is closely related to DNA. Changes in DNA, such as mutations, are the raw material for evolution by natural selection. Over time, these changes can accumulate and lead to the development of new species through the process of evolution.


How does geological distribution prove evolution?

Geological distribution of species can provide evidence of evolution by showing patterns of related organisms in different regions that can be explained by common ancestry and the processes of evolution. For example, closely related species are often found in close proximity to each other, while more distantly related species may be found in different regions, suggesting common evolutionary origins. This distribution pattern supports the idea of species diversifying and spreading out over time in response to changing environments and selective pressures.


Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being related?

because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
