Question

When comparing dogs to wolves, scientists found evidence that supports the idea they come from a common ancestor. Which evidence was most important in understanding this?
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

Answer 1

Evolution overs over time such that the best traits are being passed on from successive generations in every species or populations. We can compare these different species from a common ancestor. Evidences include fossil evidence, genetic evidence, comparative anatomy and more. These are usually shown in phylogenetic trees. Most apparent differences between wolves and dogs are their anatomy or morphology. Fossils support these. Behavior between them are different especially in terms of mental differences.

Best answer is A.
