Clues
1. These are preserved remains or traces of primitive organisms that lived during
prehistoric times.
2. The process in which species change through time.
3. These structures are body parts that appears to be reduced in size and does not seem
to have a function.
4. They are the parts of the organisms that perform the same function but differ in
structures.
5. These are the structures of organisms that appear similar based on their origin.
6. The study of organisms’ developmental changes in bodily structures that takes place
from egg to adult.
