Detailed explanation-1: -The diagrams below show the skeletons of two different animal species. How does comparing the skeletons of a whale and alligator provide support for the scientific theory of evolution? It shows possible common ancestry between organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nearly all (around 97%) of the scientific community accepts evolution as the dominant scientific theory of biological diversity, with 87% accepting that evolution occurs due to natural processes, such as natural selection.
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: -Fossils, anatomy, embryos, and DNA sequences provide corroborative lines of evidence about common ancestry, with more closely related organisms having more characteristics in common.
