Category 1 – 10 points
True/False: The greater the degree of physical similarity, the closer the biological relationship.
Category 1 – 20 points
What is the definition of:

Category 1 – 50 points
Define Parallelism
Category 2 – 10 points
Define Convergence
Category 2 – 20 points
True/False: Both parallelism and convergence are thought to be due primarily to separate species lines experiencing the same kinds of natural selection pressures over long periods of time
Category 2 – 30 points
Define Analogies
Category 2 – 40 points
True/False:
Analogies may be due to homologies or homoplasies
Category 2 – 50 points
Give an example of Analogous Species

True/False:
Morphological Characteristics are the most commonly used criteria for distinguishing species?
Category 4 – 50 points
True/False:
It is assumed that the more homologies two organisms share, the closer they must be in terms of evolutionary distance
