Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The science of genetics provides molecular evidence that supports evolutionary theory. 17. All living cells use DNA and RNA to code heritable information.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Molecular evidence suggests that the hominin and African ape lines diverged about 6–7 Myr ago. The fossil record of the first possible bipeds dates back over 6 Myr ago in Africa. By 4.2 Myr ago, there is definite evidence of bipedal hominins in Africa (Australopithecus anamensis).
