Question

all of the following statements are true. decide which of the examples of molecular biology give evidence for evolution. check all of the boxes that apply. hox genes are very similar in all animals. bug wings and bat wings are both used for flying. many species share much the same dna. plant and animal cells have almost all of the same structures.

Explanation:

• HOX genes are very similar in all animals: HOX genes are a group of related genes that control the body plan of an embryo along the head - tail axis. Similarity in HOX genes across animals indicates a common evolutionary origin.
• Many species share much the same DNA: DNA is the genetic material. Shared DNA sequences among species suggest a common ancestry.
• Bug wings and bat wings being used for flying is an example of convergent evolution (similar function but different evolutionary origins at the molecular level). Plant and animal cell structures (while showing some commonalities like having a cell membrane, nucleus etc.) are more about basic cell biology rather than molecular - level evidence for evolution in the context of this question.

Answer:

• HOX genes are very similar in all animals.
• Many species share much the same DNA.
