The presence of homologous structures suggests that these organisms share a common ___________.
what is a common ancestor
200
This process, which involves the gradual replacement of organic material with minerals, is responsible for preserving most fossils found in the fossil record.

Remains of ancient species that have been preserved.
What is fossil
200
These structures in different organisms have similar functions but different underlying anatomy.
What are analogous structures?
300
Scientists use this method, which relies on the decay of radioactive isotopes, to determine the age of fossils found in sedimentary rock layers.

Mr. Guptil

What is Natural Selection?

What are homologous structures?
400
Fossils like Archaeopteryx, showing characteristics of both birds and reptiles, provide evidence for this concept, indicating gradual changes over time in species.
