Which implication might be drawn from the fact that all prehistoric and modern flying vertebrates developed similar structures to support their successful flight capabilities?
Pterosaurs, birds, and bats developed flight at the same time. This was their single effective adaptation for locating and trapping prey.
Pterosaurs, birds, and bats developed over time in identical ecosystems and environments. These environments influence the forces of flight for these animals.
Pterosaurs, birds, and bats evolved directly from a single species of reptile. Their identical flight structures developed sequentially from the pterosaur to the bat.
Pterosaurs, birds, and bats may have developed similar structures independently of each other. All of the forces are consistent in the development of flight.
​ If the bodies of present-day bats became fossilized over time, which observation would future scientists likely make about the wings of fossilized bats and pterosaurs?
Both sets of fossils would show similar structures and bone material that were suited for flight.
A comparison of the bones of both organisms would show that the pterosaurs were better suited for flight than bats were.
The bat wing bones would show a completely different structure than the pterosaur bones.
Both sets of fossils would show that the animals were not designed for lengthy, sustained flight.

If the bodies of present-day bats became fossilized over time, which observation would future scientists likely make about the wings of fossilized bats and pterosaurs?
Which statement is true about the forces involved in an ornithopter and a pterosaur taking off?
Which factor might limit the knowledge of scientists about the role of pterosaur muscles in flight?
Which materials would most likely be used by designers of ornithopters to mimic the bone structures of pterosaur wings?
Which of these statements can be inferred from the data provided by Figure 4?
Which statement would best describe the successful takeoff of an ornithopter that was designed using the model of the pterosaur?
Which statement best describes the process of the formation of the solar system?
Which statement is the best explanation for the presence of these marine fossils in an inland area of the United States?
Which data set should most likely be expected from the three seismographs?
Government agencies consider the possibilities of earthquakes when they are developing regulations about new construction projects. Regions of the United States are classified as having a low likelihood of earthquakes (lowest hazard), a high likelihood of earthquakes (highest hazard), or somewhere in between.
Which statement should inform the development of building regulations in regard to earthquakes?

Which statement should inform the development of building regulations in regard to earthquakes?
A student has a remote control for a television. The student points the remote at the television and presses a button on the remote labeled Volume. A small red light flashes on the front of the remote. The student observes that the sound from the television becomes lower.
Which statement best describes how the remote control communicates with the television to change the volume of the sound?
These data tables show the distance of various galaxies from Earth in millions of light-years (Mly) at different times. Which table supports the theory of expansion in the formation of the universe?
Which inference about the chipmunk population can be supported with the data gathered by the biologist?
Which inference about the chipmunk population can be supported with the data gathered by the biologist?
Which statement best describes the continued existence of the giraffe and the okapi?
Based on the partial gene segments, which pair of animals will produce the most similar proteins?
The New Madrid Seismic Zone has more earthquakes than the Southern Appalachian Seismic Zone.
What is the most likely explanation that supports this statement?How are faults that occur in the middle of tectonic plates different from plate boundaries?
One student says that geologists cannot predict earthquakes.
Which statement contradicts the student’s conclusion?
The students decide to model how the motion of two plates occurs.
Which statement best describes the ability of the model to predict plate movement?
Which statement best describes what the model is representing on Earth?
If the students want to improve this model by including more detail showing how the interior of a tectonic plate is affected, they should
Which statement is correct about the rocks at this location?
Which adaptations belong with labels U and Y on the cladogram?
Which statement is correct about the effects of these plate boundaries on Earth’s lithosphere?
Which statement is correct about the effects of these plate boundaries on Earth’s lithosphere?
Which statement is correct about the effects of these plate boundaries on Earth’s lithosphere?
Which statement is correct about the changes in faunas during one of these five major events?
