Check all that apply.Organisms stay the same over time.Organisms change over time.All organisms have common ancestors.Only some organisms have common ancestors.Evolution occurs slowly over extended periods of time.Evolution occurs rapidly over extended periods of time.
Answer
A
Organisms stay the same over time.
B
Organisms change over time.
C
All organisms have common ancestors.
D
Only some organisms have common ancestors.
E
Evolution occurs slowly over extended periods of time.
F
Evolution occurs rapidly over extended periods of time.
Explanation
Darwin’s theory holds that populations of organisms change over generations, rather than staying the same. It also includes common descent: all organisms are connected through common ancestors. These changes generally accumulate slowly over extended periods of time, so “evolution occurs rapidly” is not the matching statement here.
