Over time, the number of tuskless elephants increased. This was most likely due to:

9
Darwin established the process by which evolution occurs. He called it:
genetic drift
natural selection
acquired characteristics
speciation
10
Whales have tiny pelvic bones, but no hind limbs. The pelvic bones are an example of:
convergent evolution
vestigial structures
embryological remnants
homologous structures
11
A species refers to a group of organisms that:
have the same features
live in the same place
have adaptations
can interbreed
12
Evolution is considered the unifying theory because it explains:
the history of earth
the genetic code
life's diversity
where we come from
13
The theory of evolution proposes that all species come from a(n):
extinct species
common ancestor
previous adaptation
water source
14
The beaks of finches were adapted to what?
predator types
geographic location
food sources
water availability
15
Any trait that helps an organism survive would be a(n):
vestigial structure
homologous structure
adaptation
selection strength
16
The variety of dog breeds is a result of:
convergent evolution
artificial selection
special selection
natural selection
17
The image illustrates what concept?
fossil records
adaptive radiation
convergent evolution
artificial selection
18
The shells of tortoises on the Galapagos were differently shaped based on what?
mate choice
type of food eaten
temperature of the island
presence of predators
19
What evidence is used to show how closely two animals are related?
homologous structures
vestigial structures
fossil record
molecular evidence
20
A field biologist notes that 20% of the elephant population is tuskless. This represents the:
fitness of the trait
selection strength
population number
frequency of the trait
21
The wing of a bat, the fin of a whale, the leg of a cat, and a human arm are all examples of:
Vestigial structures
Similar Embryos
Homologous Structures
Analogous structures
22
Which of the following is a vestigial structure in whales?
lungs
ear bone
pelvic bone
vertebrae
23
This evidence provides the most detailed record of evolution
The fossil record
Geographic distribution of species
Homologous structures
Cell structures
24
Bone fragments, eggs, and footprints are all examples of
Vestigial structures
Fossils
Homologous structures
Sedimentary rock
