Question

There are several compelling pieces of scientific evidence that support the occurrence of evolution. Answer the following questions using the choices provided. Each of the following terms may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
The presence of cytochrome P450 in all living organisms, as well as DNA and RNA are examples of this type of evidence for evolution.

• A. Biochemical evidence
• B. Analogous structures
• C. Biogeography
• D. Fossil record
• E. Homologous structures

Answer 1

The correct option is A Biochemical evidence

A. Biochemical evidence is the evidence that are obtained from biochemical studies of an organism.

B. Analogous structures are the structures that have different basic structure but perform same functions.

C. Biogeography is the study of the geographical distribution of life forms on earth.

D. Fossil record is the evolutionary information retrieved from the fossils of animals and plants.

E. Homologous structures are the structures that have same basic structure but perform different functions.

Since, P450, DNA and RNA are the biochemical molecules, so they will be included under biochemical evidence.

So, the correct answer is 'Biochemical evidence'.
