Sample Question
Which of the following is evidence of Darwin's theory of common descent?

There are patterns in the fossil record that suggest other species have diverged from a single ancestor species

There are biogeographic patterns in the distribution of species, for instance distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble one another, suggesting a common ancestor.

There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms representing several distinct vertebrate groups.

Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a common ancestor .

All of the above.
