o taxonomy
o entomology
evolutionary biology
o paleontology
14 multiple choice 1 point
analogous structures
o are often used as evidence supporting common ancestry
have similar functions but different genetic and embryological origins
have different functions but share a genetic and/or embryological pathway
o share genetic and anatomical similarities
15 multiple choice 1 point
which classification of life contains the highest number of species?
genus
kingdom
phylum
domain
16 multiple choice 1 point
why do scientists classify living organisms?
to be able to see which organisms were more advanced than others
because everyone needs a hobby
to study their relationships on the basis of shared characteristics
to be able to give them latin names

Explanation:

1. Taxonomy is the science of classifying organisms. Entomology is the study of insects. Evolutionary biology focuses on evolution. Paleontology is about fossils.
2. Analogous structures have similar functions but different genetic/embryological origins. Homologous structures are for common ancestry.
3. Domain is the highest taxonomic rank (more inclusive than kingdom, phylum, genus).
4. Classification helps study relationships via shared traits. It's not about Latin names or "advanced" status (subjective), and not a hobby.

Answer:

1. taxonomy
2. have similar functions but different genetic and embryological origins
3. domain
4. To study their relationships on the basis of shared characteristics
