homologous malfunction
4
________________ evolve.

The picture best represents
punctuated equilibrium
gradualism
6

9
Who came up with the Theory of Evolution?
Galileo
Mendel
Einstein
Darwin
10
The fossil record best supports:
gradualism
punctuated equilibrium
11
Where did Darwin do most of his research on evolution?
Hawaiian Islands
Alaska
Galapagos Islands
Grenada Islands
12
How can we explain the similarities in the bones of the human, bat, whale, cat?
analagous structures
vestigial structures
allopatric structures
homologous structures
13
What was the name of the ship on which Darwin sailed?
HMS Beagle
HMS Bullfinch
HMS Bounty
HMS Beacon
14
The greater the number of DNA similarities, the more likely
the organisms are closely related
the organisms have evolved
the organisms are mammals
the organisms are bacteria
15
A trait that helps an organism survive better in their environment is called
adaptation
genotype
luck
adipose tissue
16
A donkey can mate with a horse to produce a mule, but it's sterile. This is an example of ___.
temporal isolation
postzygotic isolation
geographic isolation
prezygotic isolation
17
Why do we use embryos to support the theory of evolution?
they all have limbs
they all start out developing the same but then differ
they all have eyes
they have vestigial structures
18
Since natural resources are limited, all organisms:
have inherited characteristics
must migrate to new habitats
display vestigial structures
must compete for resources
19
The form between an ancestral species and a modern species is called
a transitional species
an analogous species
a convergent species
a homologous species
20
Descendants of a single ancestor diversify to fit different parts of the environment.
differential evolution
convergent evolution
divisive evolution
divergent evolution
21
Structures with a related function but not inherited from similar ancestors.
homologous structures
vestigial structures
analagous structures
divergent structures
22
Species from different ancestors evolved similar adaptations to similar habitats.
divergent evolution
vestigial evolution
convergent evolution
homologous evolution
23
The more DNA two organisms share...
The more shared ancestry they have
The more vestigial structures they have.
The less related they are
The more analogous structures they have
24
Darwin was a supporter of:
punctuated equilibrium
gradualism
25
Macroevolution is the sum total result of _________ events in a population.
microevolutionary
adaptive
extinction
geologic
26
What is evolution?
development of new organisms from pre-existing organisms
organisms stay the same over time
individuals change over time
27
What did Darwin notice about the organisms on the Galapagos Islands?
they had similarities & differences and changed over time
they were all alike and never changed
there were mostly tortoises and not much else
28
Structures that serve no function in the organism, but are still there.
chromosomal structures
homologous structures
analogous structures
vestigial structures
29
Darwin said species come from pre-existing species & change over time. This is
disruptive selection
stabilizing selection
descent with modification
selective selection
30
Natural selection
could not
occur without:
genetic variation in populations.
competition for unlimited resources.
artificial selection.
gradual warming of the Earth.
31
What "selects" the best traits for an organism?
predators
nature/environment
genes
32
The "one bone, two bones, a bunch of bones" pattern found in many animals is an example of
vestigial structures
homologous structures
analogous structures
33
The picture best represents
punctuated equilibrium
gradualism
