Question
Chapter 19.2, Problem 1TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Fossils are the dead remaining traces of the living organism. There are many processes of fossilization, but most of them are formed due to the embedding of the organism inside the rocks and under the ground.

- Which of the following is true: Clades are groupings that reflect levels of adaptation or overall similarity and not necessarily actual evolutionary relationships. A grade is a grouping of organisms that reflect a branch of the evolutionary tree, Prosimii and Anthropoidea are an alternative grade-based classification Genetic evidence suggests that Tarsiers are more closely related to Lemurs and Lorises than they are to haplorhines None of the abovearrow_forwardTarsiers are one of the small species of primates generally found in tropical islands like Bohol, Philippines. Gibbons are small apes usually found in the forests of Southeast Asian regions. Chimpanzees are considered to be the highest form of "thinking organisms" on Earth. The theory of evolution asserts that these species evolved from a related ancestor. By observing the given figure. How will you support or reject the said claim?arrow_forwardby studying the limbs and fossils of different animals, such as a horse leg and a human leg, scientists have noticed that there are similarities in their bone structures. this is evidence that their bone structures and limbs may have evolved in similar ways. The scenario is describing a relationship known as causation . The scenario is describing intermediate fossils . The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation . The scenario is describing transitional fossils .arrow_forward

The more similar the DNA, the more distant the common ancestor is likely to be. The more similar the DNA, the more recent the common ancestor is likely to be. The more different the DNA, the more likely it is that their common ancestor is extinct.
