Humans and chimpanzees have a common ancestor that lived approximately 5 million years ago. Scientists have amassed an impressive collection of fossils for ancestors to modern humans and placed these ancestors in chronological order to observe the changes that occurred as these organisms evolved more human-like characteristics. Which lines of evidence provide the basis for stating that humans and chimps have a common ancestor that lived approximately 5 million years ago?

homologous structures in humans and chimps

DNA sequence similarity

changes in bone structure

vestigial structures in humans

Which description applies to a vestigial structure or trait?

It is the result of convergent evolution.

It represents evidence supporting the common descent and separate types models for modern organisms.

It did not have a necessary function in more ancestral organisms, but it does in more evolved organisms.

It is a type of homologous trait that is found in diverse organisms.

Which organisms are most closely related?

Bears and raccoons, which are both in the order Carnivora

Cougar and lynx, which are both in the family Felidae
