By studying the limbs and fossils of different animals, such as a horse leg and a human leg, scientists have noticed that there are similarities in their bone structures. This is evidence that their bone structures and limbs may have evolved in similar ways.
Which statement is true about this scenario?
(1 point)
• The scenario is describing intermediate fossils.
• The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation.
• The scenario is describing a relationship known as causation.
• The scenario is describing transitional fossils.
1 answer
The correct statement about the scenario is:
• The scenario is describing a relationship known as correlation.
This is because the similarities in bone structures between different animals suggest a relationship or connection (correlation) between their evolutionary paths rather than indicating direct causation or being classified as transitional fossils or intermediate fossils.
