High School Science Virtual Learning: Evidence for Evolution, Slides of Biology
A lesson plan for a high school biology class on the topic of evolution. It includes various activities, practice questions, and answers. The students are expected to learn about different lines of evidence for evolution, such as genetics, fossils, comparative anatomy, embryology, and speciation.

Practice
Complete the following questions using the
information you learned during the lesson activity.
Practice Question #
What best describes the hind leg bones seen in the whale? Choose 1 answer:
a. Homologous structures to the wings of butterflies
b. Vestigial structures that had a function in an ancestor
c. Analogous structures to the fins of living fish
A scientist compares DNA taken from four different living species.
Which of the following statements is accurate? Choose 1 answer: Hint: The more similar the bands are to each other the more closely related they are.
a. Species X evolved from Species Y.
b. Species A and Z share a recent common ancestor.
c. Species A and Species Y are the same.
d. Species Y and Species Z can interbreed.
Practice Question #
Practice Question #
The diagram represents embryonic development in 5 organisms. The similarities in embryonic development shown in the diagrams suggest…
A. They all undergo external development B. They have evolved from a common ancestor
C. They are all members of the same species
D. They have adaptations for the same environment as adults
Once you have completed the practice questions check with
the answers on the next slides.
Practice Question #1 Answer
What best describes the hind leg bones seen in the whale? Choose 1 answer:
A Homologous structures to the wings of butterflies
B Vestigial structures that had a function in an ancestor
C Analogous structures to the fins of living fish
A scientist compares DNA taken from four different living species.
Which of the following statements is accurate? Choose 1 answer:
a. Species X evolved from Species Y.
b. Species A and Z share a recent common ancestor. Species A and Z share several DNA fragments, which suggests that they have a recent common ancestor. c. Species A and Species Y are the same.
d. Species Y and Species Z can interbreed.
