Homologous Structure #4 #2 Analogous Structure #1 #3 5) What type of evidence is described by the following statement?The legs of a whale are left over from an ancestor that was once part reptile and part whale. Homologous Structure Vestigial Structure Analogous Structure Comparative Embyrology 6) A strawberry farmer finds that, after a hard freeze, some of his strawberries are still alive. Which best explains why these strawberries were able to survive? A B C . D They have larger leaves to protect the fruit than the other strawberries. They have different genetic variations that cause them to be more resistant to cold temperatures. They are able to reproduce more quickly than the other strawberries The color of the strawberries is darker, and they maintain their temperature better than other strawberries. 7) Which would best allow a species to survive environmental changes? similar physical features low mutation rate small population genetic diversity 8) In the winter, the fur of the arctic fox is white. In summer, the fur darkens to a reddish brown. What most likely causes the fur of the fox to change color? the amount of sunlight present the fox’s habitat the fox’s genes the fox’s age Matching 9-12) Match the vocabulary words with the correct definitions AND images. Variation Differences in physical traits of an individual from the group to which it belongs Analogous Structures Structures that have a similar job but are structurally different. Homologous structures Structures that look different but are similar in structure due to a common ancestor. Vestigial structures Have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor
