Question 5 Unsaved
The diagram shows embryo development of four different animals. How is this evidence used to suggest that life changes over time?
History of Life on Earth
Question 5 options:
Late-stage embryonic development illustrates how acquired characteristics have caused these species to become more differentiated over time.
The DNA of all these life forms begins exactly the same and then changes over time as it replicates to produce the organisms different traits.
These stages indicate that animals within a species must have changed over time.
Striking similarities at early developmental stages is evidence that they came from a common ancestor.

Question 6 Unsaved
Which of the following describes how homologous structures provide evidence to support that life changes over time?
Question 6 options:
some animals exhibit similar structures, possibly due to a common ancestor
some animals exhibit similar stages of embryonic development
some animals exhibit structures that are no longer used for any purpose
some fossils exhibit similar biological proteins
Question 7 (3 points)
Question 7 Unsaved
How can these forelimbs explain how life changes over time?
History of Life on Earth
Question 7 options:
These illustrations show the progressive development of the forelimb in a species over time, one example of how life has changed over time.
These illustrations show the homologous forelimbs of four different species with enough similarities to suggest all had a common ancestor.
The illustrations show the vestigial structures of four different species that once had a function in an ancestral organism but no longer have a function today.
These illustrations show the variety of bone structures that exist among different species and how life has changed over time as new species develop.
