Question

Since Darwin's time, scientists have studied genes and gene function in a wide variety of organisms. What type of evidence for evolution is provided by data from these studies?

A. Inconclusive evidence, because the genes of ancient species cannot be studied
B. Inconclusive evidence, because scientists have not yet related genes to physical traits
C. Weak evidence, because evolution involves changes only to body shape and body functions
D. Very strong evidence, because of homologous genes and the overwhelming similarities in the genetic code

Answer 1

very strong evidence, because of homologous genes and the overwhelmong similarities in the genetic code

Answer 2

D. Very strong evidence, because of homologous genes and the overwhelming similarities in the genetic code.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Form the theory of evolution by natural selection and theories on the genetic drift, all life on the earth is connected and linked to each other and that diversity of life is a product of the modifications of the population

• With the descent and modification, the theory of the survival of the fittest gives us strong evidence of the genetic code and process of macroevolution. This helps the scientists to study and draw an analysis of the gene functions in a wide variety of the organisms.
