A)
Use the scenario to answer the question.
By studying the limbs and fossils of different animals, such as a horse leg and a human
leg, scientists have noticed that there are similarities in their bone structures. This is
evidence that their bone structures and limbs may have evolved in similar ways.
Which statement is true about this scenario?
(1 point)
The scenario is describing intermediate fossils.
The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation.
The scenario is describing transitional fossils.
The scenario is describing a relationship known as causation.
B) The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation.
A)
Use the scenario to answer the question.
A fossil indicates that whales might have started out as small land mammals. This animal
was about the size of a wolf and had a diet of meat and fish. While the fossil has the body
of a land animal, its head is shaped like a whale with an ear bone that is unique to
whales.
