Answer:

1. Evolution can be defined as the gradual development of an organism creating diversity.

2. A common misconception is that Homosapiens are descendants of Apes.

3. analogous structures are features of different species that are similar in function, but not necessarily in structure; such as bird wings and insect wings. homologous structures, however, is an organ or bone with similar underlying anatomical features found in different animals; such as the arms of primates.

4. vestigial structures are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor, such as wings of flightless birds.

5. Embryology supports the theory that organisms have a common ancestor in accordance to the theory of evolution.
