Comparative Studies of the Shapes of Skeletons from Diverse Species

Question

Comparative studies of the shapes of skeletons from diverse species demonstrate clearly that
A) The same kinds of limb bones follow different growth patterns depending on which animal owns them
B) The same kinds of limb bones follow the same kind of growth patterns no matter which animal owns them
C) Bones all grow at the same pace
D) Wings and hands are absolutely different when it comes to the bones they contain
E) Skeletons grow more, or less, depending on food supply

Accepted Answer

Comparative studies of the shapes of skeletons from diverse species demonstrate that the same kinds of limb bones follow different growth patterns depending on which animal owns them. This indicates that bone growth is not uniform and can vary based on genetic and environmental factors.
