Question
Which line of evidence provides proof for the theory of evolution?
- Comparative anatomy
- DNA analysis
- Fossil record
- All of the above
Hint:
Darwin had used three main lines of evidence fossil evidence, biogeographical evidence, and anatomical evidence.
The correct answer is: All of the above
- The changes and adaptation of an organism in response to its environment are known as evolution.
- There is various evidence present for the evolution.
- The main evidence that gives us proof of evolution is the fossils. Fossils are the remains of organisms found within the earth’s strata. They tell us about the organisms that had lived on the earth way before the arrival of humans.
- DNA analysis presents us with proof that two or more species had to share the same ancestry. It shows how closely or distinctly two species are related.
- Anatomy also presents proof of evolution, when two organisms share some anatomical similarity, it shows that they evolve from the same ancestor.
- Thus, fossils, DNA analysis, and comparative anatomy are proof of evolution.
