1
The more similar the amino acid sequence is for a protein between two different species, the
more closely related they are (more recent common ancestor)
embryology
less closely related they are (distant common ancestor)
2
The evolution of birds from dinosaurs is an example of
microevolution
macroevolution
3
the situation in which allele frequencies of a population do not change over time is called
Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
genetic drift
natural selection
evolution
4
Which statement about gene pools is typically true?
They contain only dominant alleles.
They belong to two or more different species.
The frequencies of the alleles never change.
They contain two or more alleles for each gene.
5
Which of the following statements describes what all members of a population share?
They are temporally isolated from one another.
They have identical genes.
They are members of the same species in the same area.
They are geographically isolated from one another.
6
Hardy-Weinberg equilibirum can be disrupted by each of the following EXCEPT
no natural selection
migration
genetic drift
sexual selection.
7
Q:
These living organisms evolved in similar environments.
Inheritance from a common ancestor with that bone structure.
the inheritance of acquired traits.
the struggle for existence.
8
Q:
divergent evolution
coevolution

asexual reproduction
9
The underdeveloped pelvic bone and femur bone present in some some snake bodies is a
embryological structure
coevolutionary structure
vestigial structure
analogous structure
10
Sometimes organisms that are not closely related look similar because of
coevolution.
convergent evolution.
reclassification.
divergent evolution.
11
According to the theory of natural selection, the individuals that survive are those that have
characteristics their parents acquired by their behavior.
the greatest number of offspring.
variations best suited to the environment.
characteristics that plant and animal breeders value.
12
One of the conditions required to maintain Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is
new variations of genes appearing in the gene pool
genetic drift
no natural selection impacts the population
the movement of individuals into a population
13
What is true about dissimilar organisms such as a cow and a yeast?
Their degree of relatedness can be determined by their genes
They can interbreed and thus are the same species.
They are not related at all.
Their degree of relatedness cannot be evaluated.
14
Which of the following organisms would be most closely related?
organisms that share the same family

17
Which of the following events do biologists consider genetic drift?
the extinction of a species
a drought where only organisms that can store water survive
A predator attacking prey that are easiest to see
a tornado that clears out half of a forest's plant life
18
the combined genetic information of all members of a particular population is the population's
relative frequency

21
The first part of a scientific name is unique to each
order
phylum
family

22
Lamarck’s theory of evolution states that new traits in a species appear as a result of
natural variations already present in a population.
