EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Evidence of evolution includes
A
DNA sequence analysis
B
the fossil record
C
anatomical evidence
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Another type of evidence for evolution is the presence of structures in organisms that share the same basic form. For example, the bones in the appendages of a human, dog, bird, and whale all share the same overall construction (Figure 21.5.

Detailed explanation-2: -The anatomical structures and physiological functions of different species provide evidence of evolution. Scientists compare and contrast types of anatomical features, known as homologous structures, vestigial structures, and analogous structures, to figure out how closely related different organisms are.

Detailed explanation-3: -Five types of evidence for evolution are discussed in this section: ancient organism remains, fossil layers, similarities among organisms alive today, similarities in DNA, and similarities of embryos.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : Anatomical evidence is the evidence of evolution based on te similarities in the anatomical strucutre of bones and bony joints in the organs of animals.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solution. Anatomical evidences are the similarities in structures and anatomy between different organisms. The hand of a human, foreleg of ox, flipper of whale, and forelimbs of bat appear different superficially or morphologically. Also, the function of these structures is different in different animals.
