What is the most recent bird species to go extinct

You can't answer this question as bird species are going extinct all the time...

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

Vestigial structures do not harm the organism. Nature selects against only harmful traits.

How is radioactive dating important for providing evidence for evolution

It tells you when the animal that made a fossil was alive.

Radio carbon dating proves scientifically the age of a given material. If a fossil is found embedded in material that is x number of years old and a similar fossil is found x number of years older or younger then we can surmise the evolution of that species. There are thousands of examples of theoretical evolution using this method.

What is the term for a preserved footprint left behind by an animal

fossil

Why are archaea in a different domain from bacteria

They are thought to have separate paths of evolutionary development.

They developed along different evolutionary paths.

They had independent evolutionary development.

When is genetic drift a major factor in evolution

When there is low gene flow

When there is no selective pressure

When there is a bottleneck

Which animal adaptation happened before the others
bilateral symmetry

Tissue development

Development of a coelom

How can islation lead to formation of new species

Allopatric Speciation (geographic isolation) can lead to the formation of a new species because the population is split in two smaller populations by a physical barrier (river, canyon, mountain...).

A paleontologist finds a plant fossil that shows that the plant had seeds What can the paleontologist conclude

it was a land plant.

What could have been responsible for the change in amino acid from gorillas to humans
