1
Is mimicry a behavioral or physical animal adaptation?
It is both
Behavioral
Physical
2
How did the whole population turn dark in certain parts of the desert?
Predators ate the dark-colored mice and the light mice had more offspring.
There is light sand where they live.
There is dark lava rock where they live
Predators ate the light-colored mice and the dark mice had more offspring
3
What is artificial selection?
When humans select traits that are desirable
artificial intelligence
Natural selection with aliens on mars
Farmers
4
One of the adaptations that Darwin noted about the species of finches was the . . .
length of the birds' necks
number of eggs in each bird's nest
similarities of the birds' embryos
birds' different-shaped beaks
5
What is natural selection?
Better adapted individuals reproduce less
Better adapted individuals survive
Better adapted individuals get eaten
Better adapted individuals survive and produce more offspring
6
What is a behavioral adaptation?
The way an animal changes.

The way an animal looks.
7
theory that all species that exist today developed from earlier organisms
Theory of Plate Tectonics
Germ Theory
Theory of evolution
Theory of Relativity

their antennae became longer
their wings became lighter
their wings became darker
9

what
adaptation in the Peppered Moth in 19th C. England?
their wings became lighter
their antennae became longer
their wings became darker
they migrated to Ireland
10
Speciation occurs when related organisms
start to no longer resemble each other
can create viable offspring
are no longer interested or capable of reproducing
start eating each other
11

Snicker Bar of the desert
Reeses Pieces of the desert
Kit Kat of the desert
Sour Patch Kids of the desert
12
Migration is a behavioral adaptation
False
True
13

True
False
14
Who first proposed the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?
Mr. Fox
Charles Darwin
Einstein
Edgar Alan Poe
15
The different ways that a trait appears within a population
variation
traitation
adaptation
speciation
16
In addition to living species, Darwin studied ______________.
vestigial structures.
adaptations.
fossils
homologous structures.
17
Traits that increases an organisms chances of surviving and reproducing
mutation
variation
speciation
adaptation
18
Which of the following is NOT a main principle of Darwin's theory of Evolution?
Artificial Selection
Variation within a population
Survival of the Fittest
Reproduce more than resources can provide
19
How do adaptations affect organisms?
Responding to climate change
Adjusting (or changing) to fit a new situation
Working hard to hide in an evironment

20

behavioral
physical
21
is our best scientific explanation for a big idea in science.
theory
hypothesis
conclusion
data
22
Why did finches on different Galapagos Islands develop different beak shapes?
each island had different types of shelter
to help them migrate to different islands
each island had a different predator
each island had a different food source
23
Why did dark-colored rock pocket mice first appear in the rock pocket mouse population?
Individuals change color to blend in with their environment
Predators eat light-colored mice
They have a genetic mutation that affects fur color
There is dark lava rock where they live
24
Why is genetic variation important in a population?
It is not important in a population
It increases a species fitness
It allows for a species to find food better
It decreases a species fitness
25
Behavioral or Physical adaptation?
physical
behavioral
26

most
important to Darwin's ideas about speciation?
finches
marine iguanas
flightless cormorants
tortoises
29
Where do adaptations come from?
They develop within a lifetime
Inherited traits that lead to better survival
Harmful traits
Mutations that result in death
30
