Which of the following statements does NOT contribute to the evidence in support of evolution?

A. Sequences of fossils have been found that show a gradual series of changes in form among organisms.

B. Species thought to be related through evolution from a common ancestor show many anatomical similarities.

C. The stages of embryological development in animals are quite similar among highly diverse types of organisms.

D. Similarities in chromosome structure, DNA sequence, and amino acid sequence suggest relationships among organisms descending through evolution from a common ancestor.

E. The most well-adapted individuals do not always produce the most fit offspring.

Definitely option E! This refers to exceptions to the 'survival of the fittest' - but the theory still holds despite these anomalies.

The statement not supportive of evolution evidence is (E), which contradicts evolutionary theory where well-adapted individuals are more likely to reproduce successfully. Statements (A) to (D) highlight various forms of evidence such as fossil records, homologous structures, and genetic similarities. ;

The chosen statement that does NOT support evolution is (E), which contradicts the idea that well-adapted individuals are more likely to reproduce successfully. The other statements (A to D) provide various forms of evidence supporting evolution, including fossil records, anatomical similarities, embryological development, and genetic relationships.
