Answers
1
The separation of a population by barriers such as rivers or mountains, is called
Temporal isolation
Behavioral isolation
Geographic isolation
Genetic equilibrium
2
Who is the best biology teacher?
Boerger
Montgomery
Armstrong
Steele
3
An increase in beak size over time represents
Stabilizing selection
Disruptive selection
Genetic drift
Directional selection
4
Compared to a polygenic trait, single gene traits tend to have
the same number of phenotypes
fewer phenotypes
more phenotypes
no phenotypes
5
Similar embryological patterns in different species show
Analogous structures
Homologous structures
Vestigial structures
Biogeography
6
Jean Baptiste-Lamarck proposed that organisms
have a tendency to become simpler
inherit all the adaptations they display
belong to species that never change
have a tendency toward complexity & perfection
7
Birds that emigrate out of a flock and learn a new song are separated by
Genetic drift
Geographic isolation
Temporal isolation
Behavioral isolation
8
Biogeography is the study of
where species and their ancestors live
how different species can interbreed
how animals that live in the same area are closely related
how extinct species can be related to living species
9
Natural selection acts directly on
genes
phenotypes
alleles
gene pool
10
A random change in a small population's allele frequency is known as
genetic drift
gene pool
variation
fitness
11
Natural selection is
unrelated species living in different locations
struggle for existence by all living things
changes in inherited characteristics in population over time
natural variation in all populations
12
What is one condition that must exist for genetic equilibrium to be maintained?
Immigration and emigration
Large population
Natural selection
Mutations
13
In whales, the pelvis and femur are examples of
Heterozygous structures
Analogous structures
Acquired traits
Vestigial structures
14
When two populations no longer interbreed, what is the result?
Stabilizing selection
Reproductive isolation
Artificial selection
Genetic equilibrium
15
Inherited adaptations that maximize fitness demonstrate
Darwin's theory of natural selection
Darwin's theory of artificial selection
Descent with modification
Lamarck's theory of evolution
16
The genes carried by all members of a particular population make up their
phenotype
gene pool
allele frequency
genotype
17
If a dog breeder makes a tinier chihuahua through selective breeding this illustrates
Artificial Selection
Acquired characteristics
Natural Selection
Descent with modification
18
Darwin viewed the fossil record as
unrelated to the evolution of modern species
evidence that traits are acquired through use/disuse
useful support for his theory
evidence the earth was thousands of years old
19
Which is responsible for a bar graph representation?
Polygenic traits
Single gene traits
20
Sexual reproduction among members of a population results in
changes in allele frequencies
an absence of genetic variation in the population
different types of alleles in the gene pool
NO changes in allele frequencies
21
This image represents
directional selection
stabilizing selection
disruptive selection
genetic drift
22
Temporal isolation occurs when two different populations
become geographically seperated
reproduce at different times
develop different mating behaviors
interbreed
23
Different species with similar characteristics support the idea of
Artificial Selection
Natural Selection
Common Ancestry
Acquiring traits through use or disuse
24
The beak sizes of the finches that the Grants studied support the idea of
Biogeography
Uniformitarianism
Artificial selection
Natural selection
25
Which is responsible for a bell curved graph?
Single gene traits
Polygenic traits
