The number and location of bones of many fossil vertebrates are similar to those in living vertebrates Most biologists would probably explain this fact on the basis of a the needs of the organisms?
No, b) a common ancestor.
In evolutionary terms the more closely two organisms are the?
more recently they hared a common ancestor.
What Similar structures that related species inherited from a common ancestor are?
Homologous structures.
Similarity of structure of the forelimb of a bird and a mammal is an example of what evidence?
Homologous structures - the forelimb structures are anatomically similar and were derived from a common ancestor; however, they have evolved completely different uses. This provides evidence for divergent evolution or adaptive radiation.
When two structures of two species are very similar what can scientists infer about both species?
evolved from a common ancestor that also had the structure bg
If you compare organisms with similar characteristics what indicates recent their common ancestor probably is?
The more similar the two groups are, the most recent the common ancestor probably is.
What do similarities in the DNA of organisms suggest?
That they have a common/similar ancestor. This means that before, possibly these animals came from a similar organism.
Is it true that the more similar two organisms are the more distant their common ancestor probably is?
yes it is true
What does the presence of Similar genes in very dissimilar organisms imply?
Common ancestor, or convergent evolution to the same function
Homologous structures in organisms suggest that the organisms?
common ancestor
What does the presence of similar DNA sequences in the genes in very dissimilar organisms imply?
It implies that the organism shares a common ancestor.
What does the presence of similar DNA sequence in the genes in very dissimilar organisms imply?
It implies that the organism shares a common ancestor.
What are Descendant organisms?
Descendant organisms are organisms that share many in common because they share a common ancestor.
Which organisms have possible common ancestor?
All of them
Similar structures that related species have inherited from common ancestor.?
what is Similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor
What is the signifiance of the similar number and arrangement of bones in a human arm and a bat wing?
It shows that the organisms are somewhat related. It is evidence that they had a common ancestor.
The fact that all organisms have DNA as their genetic material is evidence that?
We all current life has a single common ancestor.
