1
Process by which species change over time
divergent evolution
convergent evolution
adaptations
evolution
2
Evidence shows the ancestors of whales once had legs because whales have a pelvis
embryonic evidence
vestigial structures
homologous structures
Genetic evidence
3
Homologous structures show
none of the above
common ancestry
refer to organs that are reduced in size
do not show common ancestry
4
Organisms change to fit their environment
true, an organism changes
false, only populations change
5
Over time, a species becomes better suited for their environment due to
adaptation
natural selection
survival of the fittest
natural variation
6
What is a taxonomic (dichotomous) key used for?
to determine if the organism is a plant or animal
to give the organism a scientific name
to classify organisms
to confuse the population of homo sapiens
7
Body parts have same anatomy bone structure, but different functions; shows common ancestry.
analogous structure
homologous structure
vestigial structure
8
A TRAIT that makes an individual best suited for the environment, it is referred to as..
survival of the fittest
natural selection
adaptation
evolution
9
What are the first (highest) taxonomic levels of classification, in order
kingdom, phylum, class
kingdom, order, species
domain, kingdom, phylum
domain, kingdom, class
10
Survival of the fittest
species best able to adapt to each other survives
species best able to adapt to environment survives
species that is strongest and smartest survives
species that can run the fastest survives
11
Conclusion that you can draw from evidence
hypothesis
inference
observation
theory
12
Having an adaption means an organism is more likely to
go extinct
survive and reproduce
reproduce
survive
13
All the genes in a population make up the
genetic make up
gene pool
species
community
14
The peppered moth case demonstrates
speciation
overpopulation
divergence
natural selection
15
Lack of variation in the species and a change in the environment can cause
competition
natural selection
extinction
natural variation
16
More individuals are born than can survive leads to
all of the above
those with adaptations survive & reproduce
competition
those without the adaptation dying
17
What is the name of Darwin's book?
The Theory of Everything
The Origin of Man
On Origin of Species
The Theory of Evolution
18
descent with modification refers to
how populations change over time
none of these is correct
how organisms change over time
how the world has changed over time
19
Darwin traveled in the HMS Beagle. What group of islands led to his theory of evolution?
The Bahamas
The Galapagos
Barbados
The Virgin Islands
20
What is a cladogram?
an irish work of art
diagram showing levels of extinction
diagram showing relationships among different species
diagram showing all species are related
21
Evolution is change in genes of
an ecosystem
an organism
a population
a community
22
Geological distribution of species shows
species in different areas of the world are similiar
evidence of pangea
both are correct
neither are correct
23
What do scientists organize fossils of different organisms by?
physical similarities
type of species
how old they are
where they are found
24
Which of the following does not show common ancestry?
embryology
analogous structures
DNA,genetics and molecular biology
homologous stuctures
25
analogous structures show similar function and different anatomy and
common ancestry
does now tell scientists anything
no common ancestry
none of the above
26
Unrelated species become less alike due to living in a similar environent
convergent evolution
parallel evolution
evolution
divergent evolution
27
What determines which traits become adaptations?
The environment
The species
The individual
The ability to change
28
Although, they cannot be proven, an explanation based on scientific evidence is a
theory
hypothesis
scientific fact
a hunch
29
Related species become less alike due to living in different environments
divergent evolution
parallel evolutoin
convergent evolution
evolution
30
