Evolution is based on which of the following concepts? (a) organisms share a common origin (b) over time, organisms have diverged from a common ancestor (c) an animal’s body parts can change over its lifetime, and these acquired changes are passed to the next generation (d) a and b (e) a, b, and c
If two different organisms are closely related evolutionarily, then they will (a) be similar in size. (b) share a recent common ancestor. (c) have very different DNA sequences in their genes. (d) be randomly located throughout the world.
When two organisms are very distantly related in an evolutionary sense, (a) they should have extremely similar embryonic development. (b) they must share a very recent common ancestor. (c) the sequences of DNA in their genes should be less similar (more different) than those of two more closely related organisms. (d) they should share more homologous traits than two more closely related organisms share.

There is no way through experiments or observations to falsify the hypothesis of an Intelligent Designer. ID assumes that each molecular machinery is built from scratch, which is not true; existing proteins are often re-used. OID and evolution are both valid hypotheses, but over the years we have found more evidence pointing toward evolution. O ID assumes that systems are irreducibly complex, and that individual components cannot be removed, even though several examples exist of 'irreducibly complex' systems being reduced. en 0 3 $ 35 % ^ 6 18 & * 8 9 44 Indoor Playground with wheelsarrow_forwardUsing examples, explain how FIVE of the following support the modern theory of evolution.
