Answers
1
The picture is an example of what form of evolutionary evidence?
Homologous Structures
Fossil Records
Evolution
Embryology
2
What does it mean to "inherit traits"?
To grow and develop adaptations within your life time
Genetic Shuffling
To receive DNA from your parents
To automatically know something without having to learn it
3
How does competition impact an ecosystem?
Competition impacts an ecosystem negatively
Competition does not impact an ecosystem
Resources regrow in abundance as organism die
Food, Water, and Space become limited and depleted
4
Who is the accredited founder of the Theory of Evolution via Natural Selection?
Einstein
Edgar Alan Poe
Mr. Martin
Charles Darwin
5
What is it called when a population is divided by a physical barrier and form a new species?
Speciation
Parapatric Speciation
Sympatric Speciation
Allopatric Speciation
6
Mutations can be...
Beneficial, Neutral or Harmful
Harmful
Neutral
Beneficial
7
What is it called when a population divides and enters a new niche, creating a new species?
Allopatric Speciation
Parapatric Speciation
Speciation
Sympatric Speciation
8
What is natural selection?
Individuals better adapted will only survive better
Individuals better adapted will only reproduce better
Individuals better adapted will survive and reproduce less
Individuals better adapted will survive and reproduce more
9
The picture is an example of what evolutionary evidence?
Fossil Records
Homologous Structures
Embryology
Evolution
10
What is it called when a population divides due to polymorphism creating a new species?
Sympatric Speciation
Allopatric Speciation
Parapatric Speciation
Speciation
11
How did Darwin's Finches from the Galapagos Islands help him theorize natural selection?
Some finches were less likely to reproduce
They all had adaptations that made them more fit survive
They lived in different niches and were all the same
Their beaks were different
12
In the cladogram, which species is the closest descendent of the Lizard?
Mouse
Salamander
Pigeon
Chimp
13
How do adaptations develop?
They are mutations that result in death
They are developed within an individuals lifetime
Harmful traits
They are results of mutations that lead to increased fitness
14
What does it mean to be a species?
Largest grouping of individuals
Group of individuals in which can produce fertile offspring
If they can produce any offspring they are the same species
Species inhabit the same niche around the world
15
Why is genetic variation important in a population?
It increases a species fitness
It is not important in a population
It decreases a species fitness
It allows for a species to find food better
16
What is the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?
Organisms don't ever change. They will always be the same.
Only animals change over time because of sexual selection
Mankind originated from Monkeys!
Organisms change overtime due to changes of inherited traits
17
The formation of a new species is called...
Evolution
Natural Selection
Speciation
Species
18
How prepared do you feel for this Unit Test?!
Absolutely only a little prepared
INCREDIBLY PREPARED!
No. Just no.
I am so ready I could order a pizza!
19
What is artificial selection?
This is natural selection but with aliens on mars
The selection of artificial intelligence
Humans.
Humans select the traits that they find desirable
20
How is sexual selection different that natural selection?
It increases ones ability to survive
It's not natural
Only the most fit will be able to mate
It doesn't always depend on ones ability to survive
21
Which of the following is NOT a main principle of Natural Selection?
Variation within a population
Artificial Selection
Survival of the Fittest
Populations can reproduce more than resources can provide
22
Can mutations impact protein formation?
Yes
No
