Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

Answer:

Anatomy supports the theory of evolution because some species share similar physical features that was present in a common ancestor.

An example of shared anatomy is sharks and dolphins. types of analogous structures, such as dolphins and sharks, do not prove species are related, but rather they support the Theory of Evolution by show how species do build up adaptations in order to fit into their environments

Molecular biology because DNA and the genetic code reflect the shared ancestry of life. DNA comparisons can show how related species are.

in recent research is has been shown that the myoglobin and hemoglobin sequences for dozens of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, worms, and molluscs were related.

Structural similarities is when different animals share the same structural similarities. For example the skeletons of turtles, horses, humans, birds, and bats are very similar, despite their t different ways of life and the diversity of their environments.
