family in its order
2
an allele makes up 1/2 of the frequency of a population's allele for a trait, its frequency is
40%
75%
50%
100%
3
Which of the following is supported by tortoises local variation in the Galapagos?
adaptation
tendency towards perfection
artificial selection
acquired characteristics
4
finches of different species have many similar traits; this supports the Hypothesis that:
descended from a common ancestor
they can interbreed
acquired traits from use and disuse
all eat the same food
5
Which of the following best describe natural selection?
natural variation found in all populations
unrelated species living in different locations
the struggle for existence
changes in traits of a population over time
6
In the 1800's Lyell emphasized that:
all populations evolve through natural selection
past geological events are explained and observable today.
human population will outgrow food supply
earth is a few thousand years old
7
Which statement about individuals that live to reproduce is consistent with natural selection?
they transmit acquired characteristics to their offspring
they will transfer unfavorable traits
they produce fewer offspring
they are the ones that are best adapted to survive
8
In humans the pelvis & femur are involved in walking; In whales (figure 16-1) they are :
examples of natural variation
acquired traits
vestigial structures
examples of fossils
9
In Foxes red fur the allele frequency changes from 20% to 30% What is the the population doing.
the population is decreasing
the population is expanding
the population is evolving
the population is not evolving
10
when a farmer breed only his best livestock the process involved is:
artificial selection
artificial knowledge
artificial intelligence
natural selection
11
By the names you know that the baboons: Papio annubis & Papio cynocephalhus are not in the same
class
genus
family
species
12
Darwin studied birds that had certain adaptations; what was one of the most significant
their embryos
number of eggs in nest
different shaped beaks
length of their necks
13
Based on what adaptations Darwin observed in Tortoises and finches; he wondered
if all birds on other islands were finches
if finches and tortoises came from the same ancestor
if species living on different islands were once the same
why all tortoises on other islands were identical
14
according to Darwin's theory, individuals that survive are best adapted. It is due to:
lack of competition
having adaptation developed through use
possession of inherited adaptions that maximize fitness
choices made by breeder
15
One reason that common names are not useful to biologists is that they
can apply to more than one animal
are too long
are in Latin
require a dichotomous key
16
A change in the genetic material of a cell is called a
singe-gene trait
mutation
recombination
polygenic trait
17
The goal of scientists is to assign every organism a universally accepted name--what is this
cladistics
traditional classification
the three domains
binomial nomenclature
18
The hypothesis that all species are descended from common ancestors was proposed by?
Bill Nye
Charles Lytell
Edwin Darwin
Charles Darwin
19
If a dairy farmer choose to breed only the cows that make the most milk....he is practicing:
artificial selection
descent with midification
natural selection
acquired characteristics
20
Bio-geography is the study of
how different species can iinterbreed
how animals that live in the same area are closely related
how extinct species can be related to living
where species and their ancestor live
21
People of Darwin's time understood that fossils were:
preserved remains of ancient organisms
available for every organism that ever lived
were unrelated to living species
evidence for evolution of life on earth
22
Darwin noticed organisms seemed well suited to
surviving where they live
swimming long distances
becoming food
being preserved
23
To be useful, a scientific name has to refer to:
all species in one habitat
a single species
all living species
all living and extinct species
24
How did Darwin contribute to the idea that living things change over time?
He was the first one to believe the changes happened
He made guesses about the changes
he figured out and explained how the changes happen
He showed changes could not happen on islands
