1. Which of the following best describes the fossil record of human evolution?
Adaptive radiation of human species, followed by extinction of most of these species |
there are many missing links, thus no good fossil record of human evolution |
A linear progression of fossils showing transtions leading to anatomically modern humans identical to you and me |
2. Which continent experienced the lowest amount of extinction following humans expanding into (across) it?
Australia |
Eurasia |
Africa |
North/South America |
3. You (as a human) are classified as which of the following? Select all that apply
Homonid |
Animal |
Homonin |
Eukaryote |
Anthropoid |
Primate |
Tetrapod |
Chordate |
Mammal |
Amniote |
1.
There are many missing links regarding human evolution, thus, there
is no good fossil record of human evolution.
Hence, second option is the correct answer.
2.
Due to the invasion of humans, there has been extinction of large
number of different species of Organisms from different parts of
the world. The parts of the world, where large amount of extinction
of species has taken place include, Africa, Asia, Europe,
Australia, North America and South America.
Eurasia has experienced the lowest amount of extinction following
humans expanding into (across) it.
Hence, second option is the correct answer.
3.
Hominids include chimpanzee, Gorilla, Orangutan, Humans that belong
to the family, Hominidae.
Human is an animal. Hominids include Hominids, So, Humans are
hominins. Since, all cells of human body contain defined nucleus,
humans are Eukaryotes.
Anthropoids include, new world monkeys and old world monkeys and
humans. So humans also are anthropoids.
Primates include lemurs, monkeys, and apes, with the latter
category including humans. So, humans also are primates.
In the starting of human evolution, humans also have four legs,
later they started walking on two legs. So humans also are
tetrapods.
Humans belong to the class Mammalia, which belongs to the subphylum
vertebrata, this belongs to the main phylum Chordata.
Humans are omniotes, since omnion is one of the embryonic sacs in
human embryonic development.

Question 59 (1 point) ✓ Saved Which of the following statements about human evolution is correct? A Modern humans are the only human species to have evolved on Earth. B) The upright posture and enlarged brain of humans evolved separately. Human evolution has occurred within an unbranched lineage. D) Human ancestors were virtually identical to extant chimpanzees.
Could someone please check my answers? 1. A researcher uncovers a fossil in South America that looks quite similar to a species that currently lives in Africa but does not resemble other South American species. The climate and vegetation in the two locations are very different. What is the MOST likely explanation? A. The fossil must have been transported across the ocean during storms. B. The species are probably not closely related due to convergent evolution. C. There was probably...
Which of the following statements BEST describes the importance of meiosis in human evolution? Crossing over creates novel genetic sequences that can be passed to the next generation. Meiosis produces cells that contain varied and heritable DNA so that humans have variation (that ultimately allows us to adapt to changing environments). Mutation shuffles variation during meiosis ensuring that the new daughter cells are not identical to the parent cells. All of the above.
