Which of the following statement is TRUE about the structures shown in the picture? * Human Dog Bird Whale They share common ancestry because their extremities have the similar skeletal structure. They share common ancestry except whale because of its short skeletal structure Humans and dogs only share common ancestry because they are both mammals. They do not share a common ancestry since their extremities do not have the sam function. no answer

Observe the samples of hindlimb skeletons provided below. Color homologous bones for each hindlimb skeleton. Note: for each animal hindlimb shown here is an upper bone (color in purple) joined to an intermediate bone (color in blue) and to five digits (color in red)
Structures as different as human arms, bat wings, and dolphin flippers contain many of the same bones, these bones having developed from very similar embryonic tissues. How do biologists interpret these similarities? Group of answer choices They are vestigial. They are analogous. They are rudimentary. They are homologous.
As discussed in the short film entitled: The Humans That Lived Before Us, which of the following is not associated with the Fossil remains known as “Lucy”? Group of answer choices a part of our genus a more human-like pelvis thighbone that angled inward toward the knees upright posture
A homologous trait between birds and mammals can be found in the shared layout of the forelimb bones. True or False
Which of the following correctly describes the cleavage pattern in reptiles, birds, and fish? A. holoblastic,isolecithal,radialB. holoblastic, mesolecithal, radialC. meroblastic, telolecithal, discoidalD. meroblastic, telolecithal, bilatera
A human forearm, a horse's front leg, a bat's wing, and a porpoise's flipper have similar bone structure. What conclusions can we draw from the similarities in bone structure between these mammals? a. Such homologies do not exist in other areas of the vertebrate skeleton. b. Similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest they evolved from a common ancestor. c. Similarities among vertebrate forelimbs suggest they have evolved convergently. d. The anatomy of the vertebrate forelimb is not currently undergoing natural selection. e. Differences among vertebrate forelimbs suggest that they evolved independently.
Which of the following is true as the presence of bones is similarly found both in the baleen whale and in the extinct whale?
Neanderthal fossils were first discovered in the nineteenth century. Study of their morphology suggested that Neanderthals were more closely related to humans than any living species of primate was. Much later, it became possible to sequence DNA from Neanderthal fossils and compare the sequences to those from other primates. Did the results confirm or refute the earlier conclusions based on morphology? Explain.

Using the Geological Time Chart. answer the following questions. __________________ After the Cretaceous/Tertiary extinction, what group of animals started to diversify? __________________ During which era did the first animals with backbones become evident? __________________ During which period did the first mammals become evident? __________________ Did flowering plants exist during when the dinosaurs first appeared? What would you say to someone who told you they have a fossilized rabbit skeleton that was from the Carboniferous period?
The similarities between the bone structure of a human hand and a cats paw suggest what? a. a common evolutionary ancestor b. Humans are actually kitty cats c. nothing d. similar biological function
This West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus) is an aquaticmammal. Like amphibians and reptiles, mammals are tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs). Explain why manatees areconsidered tetrapods even though they lack hind limbs, andsuggest traits that manatees likely share with leopards andother mammals (see Figure 26.12b). Discuss how early members of the manatee lineage might have differed from today’smanatees.
Nimravids Skeleton vs Siberian Tiger Skeleton vs Smilodon Necator SkeltonCompare and contrast the appearance of specific bones in the skeleton. Compare the skeleton of the extinct creatures with the extant creature, and with themselves. How might the variation in anatomy link to the likely function? Compare species' skeletal anatomy based on life history (aquatic vs terrestrial). What are other interesting factors noted in the skeletons?
