Are pharyngeal pouches and tails evidence of evolution?
It simply highly suggests that all organisms going through this developmental phase have common ancestry, thus are related on the tree of life.
How does homologous structures and analogous structures provide evidence that evolution has occurred?
Structures which are apparently different and performing different functions but their basic structure is similar are called homologous structures and indicate common ancestry eg. fore limbs of bat , whale , horse dog and man apparently different but are made up of humerus , radius , ulna , carpel , metacarpals and phalanges .
What is the strong evidence of common ancestry between the organism that share them?
Simularities in DNA sequence
The hominid fossil has the same number of bones in its hand as a gorilla. what type of evidence for evolution does this represent?
That evidence is homologous. Shared common ancestry. In this case you could trace this homology back as far as the common ancestor of gorillas and hominid fossils, or as far back as the emergence of all tetrapods.
If two organisms look very similar during their early stages of development this is evidence that the organisms are what?
Of common ancestry, though ontogeny does not recapitulate phylogeny, ontogeny, development, can create phylogeny.
What provide evidence of common ancestry amongisms?
Simularities in DNA sequence
What can homologies reveal about evolution?
Simply common ancestry in the organisms possessing the homologous structures. Compare your arm to your dog or cats forelegs and see common ancestry as they match, bone for bone.
What is the Strong evidence for the common ancestry of all vertebrates is?
The strong evidence for the common ancestry of all vertebrates is THE SIMILARITY OF THEIR EMBRYOLOGICAL STAGES.
Is similarities an early development not evidence for evolution?
It does hint at common ancestry so it is "evidence" of evolution.
Are pharyngeal pouches and tails evidence of evolution?
It simply highly suggests that all organisms going through this developmental phase have common ancestry, thus are related on the tree of life.
What provide common ancestry among organisms?
Simularities in DNA sequence
What evidence supports the common ancestry of dinosaurs?
Many of their genes are the same.
Are similar genes evidence of common ancestory?
If organisms have similar genes, then they are closely related.
Which of these might be used to determine common ancestry of two different species of plants?
fossil evidence :)
How does homologous structures and analogous structures provide evidence that evolution has occurred?
Structures which are apparently different and performing different functions but their basic structure is similar are called homologous structures and indicate common ancestry eg. fore limbs of bat , whale , horse dog and man apparently different but are made up of humerus , radius , ulna , carpel , metacarpals and phalanges .
Analogous structures are evidence of?
That different organisms are able to adapt to the same environment.
Why is biochemical evidence of evolution considered to be indirect?
I do not know. I can look at shared biochemical pathways and see direct evidence of common ancestry with other organisms.
