Evidence for Evolution starts at 8 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Evidence for Evolution. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 8
Describe how biogeography supports the theory of evolution.
Describe how the discovery of fossils in different layers of rock supports the idea of evolution.
Describe what a transitional fossil is.
Explain how DNA evidence supports the theory of evolution.
Explain how embryology supports the theory of evolution.
Explain how fossils provide evidence for evolution.
Explain why the fossil record is considered incomplete.
Explain why vestigial structures are considered evidence for evolution.
What does the presence of similar embryos in different species suggest?
What is a vestigial structure?
What is the main difference between homologous and analogous structures?
A group of scientists discovers that a certain protein is almost identical in humans and chimpanzees, but very different in fish. What does this suggest about the evolutionary relationships among these organisms?
A scientist finds a fossil of an extinct animal that has characteristics of both reptiles and birds. Explain how this discovery could be used as evidence for evolution.
Describe how the presence of vestigial structures in modern animals can be used to infer information about their evolutionary past.
Explain how antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an example of evolution that can be observed in a short period of time.
