Which statements explain the most likely cause of the difference between the hands of chimpanzees and those of gorillas? Select the three correct answers. O A single nucleotide base in the enhancer sequence changed, which caused an activator protein to bind to the enhancer sequence. Several individual chimpanzees all developed the same mutation at the same time, which caused them to grip branches better. Chimpanzees used their hands for climbing more than gorillas did, so their DNA mutated to disable enhancers and caused their hands to develop differently from those of gorillas. The exchange of pieces of DNA between alleles during sexual reproduction caused new combinations of DNA to form. An individual had a genetic mutation that resulted in a hand structure with a selective advantage that was passed on to offspring. O Mutations in the enhancer sequences in chimpanzees resulted in the production of new activator proteins.

Use the information and diagram to answer the following question. In humans, the pelvis and femur are involved in walking. Despite the fact modern whales live in water, they contain a pelvis and femur that are common in land dwelling animals. Based on your observation of the whale diagram and your understanding of evidence that supports evolution, what is TRUE about the pelvis and femur found in living whales today? A. They are newly developed structures found in modern whales due to mutations. B. They are examples of fossilized remains of ancient organisms. C. They are traits acquired by modern whales over time as they adapted to living in water. D. They are vestigial structures which are remnants of structures that served a function in the organism’s ancestors.
