1
Can mutations impact protein formation?
No
Yes
2
Who is the accredited founder of the Theory of Evolution via Natural Selection?
Edgar Alan Poe
Mr. Fox
Charles Darwin
Einstein
3
Which of the following is NOT a main principle of Natural Selection?
Populations can reproduce more than resources can provide
Variation within a population
Survival of the Fittest
Artificial Selection
4
In the cladogram, which species is the closest descendent of the Lizard?
Chimp
Pigeon
Mouse
Salamander
5
The picture is an example of what evolutionary evidence?
Evolution
Homologous Structures
Embryology
Fossil Records
6
How prepared do you feel for this Assessment?!
No. Just no.
INCREDIBLY PREPARED!
I am so ready I could order a pizza!
Absolutely only a little prepared
7
What does it mean to "inherit traits"?
To receive DNA from your parents
To grow and develop adaptations within your life time
Genetic Shuffling
To automatically know something without having to learn it
8
What does it mean to be a species?
Largest grouping of individuals
If they can produce any offspring they are the same species
Species inhabit the same niche around the world
Group of individuals in which can produce fertile offspring
9
How did Darwin's Finches from the Galapagos Islands help him theorize natural selection?
They all had adaptations that made them more fit survive
They lived in different niches and were all the same
Their beaks were different
Some finches were less likely to reproduce
10
What is natural selection?
Individuals better adapted will survive and reproduce more
Individuals better adapted will survive and reproduce less
Individuals better adapted will only survive better
Individuals better adapted will only reproduce better
11
What is artificial selection?
The selection of artificial intelligence
This is natural selection but with aliens on mars
Humans.
Humans select the traits that they find desirable
12
What is the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection?
Organisms change overtime due to changes of inherited traits
Mankind originated from Monkeys!
Only animals change over time because of sexual selection
Organisms don't ever change. They will always be the same.
13
How does competition impact an ecosystem?
Food, Water, and Space become limited and depleted
Competition impacts an ecosystem negatively
Competition does not impact an ecosystem
Resources regrow in abundance as organism die
14
What was the environmental pressure that caused the change of color in rock pocket mouse population?
volcanic activity
forest fire
solar cycle changed
mutation
15
The picture is an example of what form of evolutionary evidence?
Embryology
Homologous Structures
Fossil Records
Evolution
16
An adaptation could include a physical change, behavioral change or a mutation.
False
True
17
How do adaptations develop?
Harmful traits
They are developed within an individuals lifetime
They are mutations that result in death
They are results of mutations that lead to increased fitness
18
If both parents are heterozygous for a trait, what would be the probability of the offspring being homozygous recessive?
25%
100%
75%
50%
19
Why is genetic variation important in a population?
It increases a species fitness
It allows for a species to find food better
It decreases a species fitness
It is not important in a population
20
The formation of a new species is called...
Natural Selection
Speciation
Species
Evolution
21
Mutations can be...
Harmful
Beneficial
Neutral
Beneficial, Neutral or Harmful
