Question

which of the following statements, if true, would support evolution and the idea that all life comes from a common ancestor? select all of the boxes that apply. the bodies of different species are similar. the development of different species are similar. the dna of different species are similar. experiments can form the molecules of life out of chemicals. fossils show a history of life that gets more complex. fossils show different stages of evolution in a species. the fossil record is backed up by the geological record. done

Explanation:

• Similarities in body structures (homology) suggest a common ancestor.
• Similar development (embryology) points to a shared evolutionary origin.
• Similar DNA (genetics) is strong evidence for common ancestry.
• Fossils showing complexity increase and evolutionary stages support evolution.
• Fossil - geological record backing validates the evolutionary timeline.

Answer:

• The bodies of different species are similar.
• The development of different species are similar.
• The DNA of different species are similar.
• Fossils show a history of life that gets more complex.
• Fossils show different stages of evolution in a species.
• The fossil record is backed up by the geological record.
