Question 5 • SC332 Environmental Science B

When comparing dogs to wolves, scientists found evidence that supports the idea they come from a common ancestor. Which combination of evidence would most strongly support this idea?

Answer
A
comparable anatomies, fossils, and behavior
B
different anatomies, similar development, and different DNA
C
comparable anatomies, similar development, and similar DNA
D
different anatomies, fossils, and behavior

Explanation

A common ancestor would likely pass similar genes and developmental instructions to both dogs and wolves, so similar DNA and development support the idea. Comparable anatomies also suggest they inherited related body structures. Therefore, the strongest combination is comparable anatomies, similar development, and similar DNA.
