Question

Darwin was very interested in the observation that animals on distant and isolated landmasses appeared to be related to animals on the mainlands. However, despite their similar appearance, the animals were indeed not related. Which of the following types of evidence would help Darwin make sense of his observations?

a) fossil
b) biogeographical
c) anatomical
d) biochemical

Answer 1

THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ABOVE IS OPTION B ( BIOGEOGRAPHICAL)

Step-by-step explanation:

EVOLUTION is the change over time in this genetic variation which explains that organisms have grown and developed from past organisms. In other words, EVOLUTION is a genetic change in a population that moves from one generation to another.

Some of the EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION are: Molecular Biology, biogeography, anatomy, fossils, direct observation.

BIOGEOGRAPHY is the study of the geographical distribution of organisms. BIOGEOGRAPHY explains how and when species may have evolved. Many geographical features, such as oceans, rivers, mountains and islands, provide barriers to species. DARWIN explained in his work how similar environments can harbor entirely different species groups and he further explained how Geographical barriers usually divide various groups.

Answer 2

Answer: Option B.

Biogeographical

Step-by-step explanation:

Biogeographical evidence is the evidence that provide information of organisms distribution over geographical areas. It provide information on how and when the organisms evolved and common descent.

Frombthe question, biogeographical evidence will help Darwin make his observation
