What is a homologous structure

A structure with similar shape but a different use

Why are vestigial structures not removed by natural selection

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

How does reducing gene flow cause speciation

It allows divergence to occur

It allows populations to become genetically different.

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.

What causes a branch in a cladogram

Derived trait.

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 scientist helps a colleague do a better experiment by

offering advice about how best to perform a standard procedure -apex

A database is an efficient way to share information because it

can be searched quickly for the most relevant observations.

Which groups is the smallest level of classification

Order

Which best describes adaptive radiation

Biodiversity resulting from few ancestors.
