Document Summary
Evidence of best explained by theory of evolution: fossil record, comparative anatomy, developmental biology, biochemical and genetic analyses, artificial selection, biochemical and genetic analyses: best explained by the theory of evolution. Common use and similarities of dna, rna, amino acids, ribosomes, genetic code, , electron carriers, electron transport systems, etc. Correlation of dna, proteins, etc. with relatedness of species: artificial selection. Even plants came from a common ancestor by choosing particular traits- broccoli and other vegetables came from a mustard weed. Even animals like dogs were developed through artificial selection. Evolution of insecticide resistance by insects and herbicide resistance for plants. Chromosomes with gene conferring resistance to insecticide survive. Every cell in your body came from one original cell. In our early stages we are all very similar. (all multi-cellular organisms) The simplest reason behind this is because we all share a common ancestor. By the process of natural selection all animals share the same beginning stages.
