Answers
1
Anatomical structures of different species share a common ancestor
Fossil
Analogous structures
Homolgous structures
Vestigial structures
2
What is a transitional fossil?
A fossil in between two different species
A fossil of an organism that is still alive today
A fossil of a baby of a species
A fossil of a footprint
3
What is Biogeography?
Study of the earth
Study of biology
study of where org. live, and where their ancestors lived
Study of current organisms.
4
Convergent evolution is ...
independent development of similar features in diff species
splitting of an ancestral group into two different species
responsible for the development of analogous structures
also known as adaptive radiation
5
What is a trace fossil?
Evidence of something left behind, like footprints.
A dinosaur tooth.
A part of a complete fossil.
A newly discovered fossil.
6
What is divergent evolution?
organisms not sharing common ancestor;evolving independently
none of the above
organisms not sharing common ancestor;evolving dependently
organisms evolving from a common ancestor
7
comparative embryology
comparative study of any two things
study of early growth and development of different organisms
comparative study of musical instruments
8
Homologous structures indicate:
No relationship
Recent common ancestry
The exact age of a fossil
All of these
9
Convergent evolution
Evolution that happens rapidly in short bursts
The process by which different species evolve similar traits independently
A process that a species loses traits & changes back to its original form
The process by which the same species evolves different traits over time
10
FOSSIL- (definition)
someone who studies history
things you can prove
things people believe
preserved print of animal or plant
11
Molecular Biology is..
study of biological molecules
study of bacteria
Study of chemicals
Study of tissues
12
What is divergent evolution?
organisms not sharing common ancestor;evolving dependently
organisms evolving from a common ancestor
organisms not sharing common ancestor;evolving independently
none of the above
13
Phylogenetic trees...
Are static and never change
Show the exact ages of particular species
Aim to show phenotype similarity
Aim to show evolutionary histories through common ancestors
14
What are homologous structures?
why all animals have tails
change over time
parts of organisms' anatomy that share a common ancestry
natural selection
15
Vestigial Structures...
are new structures that form in a new species.
serve important functions in the body.
have little to no function in the body.
16
Biogeography is the study of
where species and their ancestors live.
how different species can interbreed.
how animals that live in the same area are closely related.
how extinct species can be related to living species.
17
Divergent evolution
occurs when one species becomes two
when different species evolve a similar form
is demonstrated in dolphins and sharks
all of these
18
Comparative anatomy is comparison of the
anatomies of different organisms
structures of living animals that are no longer used
depth of the strata in which the fossil was found
age of fossils
19
Molecular Biology is..
Study of tissues
study of bacteria
study of biological molecules
Study of chemicals
20
Vestigial Structures.....
Are similar in all living things.
Are no longer found in animal bodies
Are still used in all living things.
Are present but are not needed.
21
Convergent evolution
Evolution that happens rapidly
the same species evolves different traits
When unrelated species evolve similar traits.
22
What are transitional fossils
An organism in the process of being fossilised
Fossils that are being set in plaster for display
fossils which show a species at different ages
Fossils that fill in the gaps of the family tree
