Up until the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, many naturalists believed that all species of living organism(s) had been created separately and had remained unchanged since the creation. Around that time, scientific research provided findings that were contradictory to that idea. All of the following are findings that contradict the idea of a single creation. Choose the exception
a. As scientists explored more of the earth, they found that different groups of organisms were found in the different regions.
b. Even though the limbs of various mammals carry out different functions (swimming, gliding, running, holding, etc.), the bone patterns are very similar.
c. Some fossils of extinct organisms are quite different from living organisms.
d. The limbs of some mammals serve the same purpose but their bone patterns are very different.
e. The platypus is only found in Australia and the dodo was only found on Madagascar.

Scientific knowledge may change when it is reexamined. For example, scientists in the 1930s proposed changing the way in which organisms were classified. They expanded the number of kingdoms from three to four. The scientists placed the bacteria, which had previously been classified with other single-celled organisms, into this fourth kingdom. What was the main reason for this change in the classification system?
A) Unlike the other single-celled organisms, bacteria lack DNA. B) Unlike the other single-celled organisms, bacteria lack organelles. C) Unlike the other single-celled organisms, bacteria reproduce only sexually. D) Unlike the other single-celled organisms, bacteria are eukaryotes.
