- marsupials share a common ancestor with some egg-laying species;
- marsupials are not really mammals;
- all animals arose from a common ancestor;
- marsupial mammals were separately created by God;|
- the fossil record of marsupial mammals is incorrect

Neanderthals are recognizably human but have distinctive facial features and a stocky build that were evolutionary adaptations to cold, dry environments. They shared Europe for 10,000 years with Homo sapiens. Today they no longer exist. Beyond these facts the fate of Neanderthals has generated much debate. Why did Neanderthals become extinct? State at least four major factors to explain their fate.
Birds are supposed to be the dinosaurs' closest relatives. List and explain five reasons why the Aves have been able to adapt (morphological traits) and survive in the ever-changing world we live into this day.

- Use the scenario to answer the question. Scientists have found one new fossil that is similar to Archaeopteryx. It is only the second fossil of its kind. It shows an animal that had a long-feathered tail and small teeth, like non-avian dinosaurs. But the animal also had flight feathers and wings, like modern birds. The fossil also shows a fused clavicle bone, which confirms the relationship between birds and dinosaurs because they are the only two groups with this characteristic, What is true about this scenario? It shows evidence of evolution. It shows evidence of causation. It shows evidence of climate change. It shows evidence of widespread expression.arrow_forwardA transitional fossil with traits intermediates between turtles and crocodilians Fossil evidence that the carapace (shell) of turtles is an exaptation Ankle bones from extinct turtles More DNA data from living turtles All of the optionsarrow_forwardStructures as different as human arms, bat wings, and dolphin flippers contain many of the same bones, these bones having developed from very similar embryonic tissues.
