The genetic material <span>that children inherit from their parents </span>and the physical similarities of children to their parents are the evidence for evolution. Comparative anatomy is used to show relatedness from generation to generation by having similar DNA sequences or patterns and traits.

Answer:

Homologies and vestigial structures  are two evidences of the evolution of how DNA and comparative anatomy used to show relatedness

Explanation:

Living organisms have characteristics that make them similar to others, which may suggest that at some point in the history of life on Earth, they shared a common ancestor. When we look at the limbs of a crocodile and a rat, for example, we find that, despite their differences in morphology, they are quite similar in anatomy, suggesting that they may be related. In this case, we say that the characteristic is homologous, that is, it has a similar embryonic origin, but it does not always perform the same function.

Trace structures are structures that are atrophied and have no apparent function in an organism. The presence of these organs can be interpreted as evidence of evolution, since the structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.

Answer:

Adaptations to a common environment and examples of convergent evolution

Explanation:  

Convergent evolution is a process by which two independent and phylogenetically separated organisms, get to develop similar structures or behavior to survive. These structures make possible a better performance in a similar environment. These organisms are morphologically or ethologically similar in their whole bodies or just in parts.  

Convergent evolution occurs in different phylogenetic branches independently from each other. It results from the need of different organisms to adapt to a similar environment and to solve a problem from that particular ecological niche. Ecological pressures acting on them might be similar, modeling the organisms´ phenotype. Each evolutive branch ends by developing the same structures, which they both find effective in their environment.  

In the exposed example, Ichthyosaurs (reptile) and fishes are separated species on evolutive time, corresponding to different phylogenetic lineages. Both of them inhabit the same aquatic environment. Pressures of the habitat acted on them and modeling their phenotypes. These species need to adapt to living in water, moving, feeding, scaping, chasing, etc. So both species arrived at the same solution. They developed dorsal fins and tails, which are important to stabilize the body in the water while swimming, making it more hydrodynamic and getting to propel better.
