B The species have similar bone structure. C The species live in the same environment. D The species both obtain oxygen from the air. Choosearrow_forwardThe Theory of Evolution contends that species have changed through time and are related to one another through descent from a common ancestor. Which of the following prediction follow from the Theory of Evolution? A. The fossil record should contain intermediate forms between major taxonomic groups B. The oldest rock strata are much more likely to contain complex fossils than simple fossils. C.
