The image depicts the anatomical structure of the forelimb of a dolphin and a bat, both mammals. Which Hypothesis are consistent with the evolutionary relationship shown by this image? Select all that apply. A. Bats are more closely related to birds that to dolphins due to the similarity in flight B. Dolphins and bats share a common ancestor that is more recent than the one shared with birds C. Amino Acid sequences for the cytochrome C analysis of these two species will also be similar D. Embryological comparisons of these two species will show homologies with each other than bats have with birds
Why can’t scientists just do DNA analysis on these fossil hominins to determine if they are a separate species and possibly what species they belong to? A. The DNA of fossil hominins is too similar to modern humans, making it difficult to distinguish between them. B. The technology for extracting DNA from fossils hasn't been developed yet. C. The fossils would need to be in a -5 degree Celsius environment to prevent DNA from degrading D. Scientists can't perform DNA analysis on fossil hominins because the fossils have been contaminated with modern human DNA over the years, making it impossible to isolate the ancient genetic material.

Why is it interesting that Homo luzonensis was found on an island? A. The islands only formed after Homo luzonensis became extinct, so Neanderthals must have put them on the island B. The islands were a few miles apart, and Homo luzonensis would have needed to either float by grabbing on a tree or make a raft C. The islands were a few miles apart, and Homo luzonensis clearly had to learn how to fly to get to them D. The islands were volcanoes when Homo luzonensis was alive, so it's unexpected that they were there
