Bahamas
Caribbean
Galapagos
Hawaii
3
The beaks of finches were adapted to what?
water availability
geographic location
food sources
predator types
4
Any trait that helps an organism survive would be a(n):
selection strength
adaptation
vestigial structure
homologous structure
5
Darwin established the process by which evolution occurs. He called it:
acquired characteristics
speciation

Homologous Structures
Similar Embryos
Vestigial structures
Analogous structures
7
A species refers to a group of organisms that:
can interbreed
live in the same place
have the same features
have adaptations
8
What evidence is used to show how closely two animals are related?
vestigial structures
fossil record
molecular evidence
homologous structures
9
Which of the following is a vestigial structure in whales?
vertebrae
lungs
pelvic bone
ear bone
10
The theory of evolution proposes that all species come from a(n):
extinct species
water source
previous adaptation
common ancestor
11
The image shows what type of evidence for evolution?
homologous structures
fossil record

17
Evolution is considered the unifying theory because it explains:
life's diversity
where we come from
the genetic code
the history of earth
18
The variety of dog breeds is a result of:
convergent evolution
natural selection
special selection
artificial selection
19
A field biologist notes that 20% of the elephant population is tuskless. This represents the:
fitness of the trait
population number
frequency of the trait
selection strength
20
This evidence provides the most detailed record of evolution
The fossil record
Homologous structures
Geographic distribution of species
Cell structures
21

vestigial structures
embryological remnants
convergent evolution
homologous structures
22
According to the fossil record, blue whales had ancestors that:
were larger
had fewer bones
lived on land
had gills
23
The image illustrates what concept?
fossil records
adaptive radiation
convergent evolution
artificial selection
24
Tortoises with long necks are most likely to found on islands with:
tall vegetation
short vegetation
many predators
few predators
25
Over time, the number of tuskless elephants increased. This was most likely due to:
convergent evolution
poaching
predation
disease
