On the Origin of Species
3
RANDOM QUESTION: A group of sharks is called...
a killing

4
The graph below shows what kind of selection (look at the purple)?
stabilizing selection
directional selection
divergent selection
disruptive selection
5
What is the biggest difference between natural selection and artificial selection?
artificial includes overproduction, variation, struggle, etc
artificial is NOT chosen by the environment
Natural selection is phony
Artificial is chosen by the environment
6
What are the four main parts of natural selection?
underproduction, equilibrium, struggle, diff. reproduction
overproduction, variation, struggle, diff. reproduction
underproduction, variation, easy survival, diff. repro.
overproduction, equilibrium, easy survival, diff repro.
7
What is descent with modification?
A population will produce too many offspring
All species evolved from 1 ancestor, and changed over time
If you are better adapted, you live longer and reproduce
Without competition, there is no reason to change
8
Evolution where two or more species influence each other's adaptations.
coevolution
divergent
convergent
disruptive
9
The DNA sequences from a living brown bear are nearly identical to an extinct cave bear...
the cave bear evolved from the brown bear
the brown bears ate all the cave bears
The brown bear evolved from the cave bear
the brown bear and cave bear share a common ancestor
10
If you are better adapted, you will live longer and reproduce more, describes...
genetic variation
overproduction of offspring
differential reproduction
struggle to survive
11
Organisms with certain traits are more likely to pass on these traits to offspring describes...
Natural selection
Mitosis
Transcription
Translation
12
What is evolution?
organisms not ever changing throughout time
development of new species from pre-existing ones over time
all organisms originated from monkeys
Development of new organisms from future organisms over time
13
What idea did Cuvier promote to explain differences in fossils?
fossil record
catastrophism
evolution
natural selection
14
What was Lamarck's hypothesis on evolution called?
Inheritance of Aquired Traits
Catastrophism
The fossil record
Theory of evolution
15
RANDOM QUESTION: What do peacocks mate with?
peacocks
peafowl

a parliament
a flock
a wise
an intelligence
17
Which organisms share a more recent common ancestor
Birds and Crocodiles
Birds and Mammals
Snakes and Birds
Birds and Turtles
18
A type of evolution where descendants from the same ancestor develop different traits.
disruptive
directional
divergent
convergent
19
What is an example of human behavior changing natural selection?
Darwin observing Galapagos Tortoises
Seals learning to become more agile swimmers to avoid sharks
breeding dogs through artificial selection
Industrial Revolution and the peppered moth phenotypes
20
What is a vestigial structure?
related function, different structure
related structure, different function
no function, but resembles functional structure in related
bird wing vs. bat wing
21
What is this?
DNA sequence
Cladogram
Punnett Square
Maple Tree
22
What does a cladogram show?
The relationship among different species
The genetic variation of organisms
Common ancestry among species
All the characteristics of organisms
23
What islands did Darwin visit in the early 1800s?
Costa Rica
Hawaiian Islands
Philippines
Galapagos Islands
24
Where is the common ancestor between Mammals and turtles found?
B
C
A
25
What is an analogous structure?
related function, different structure
no function, but resembles structure in related organisms
bird wing vs. bat wing
related structure, different function
26
What does overproduction mean?
producing more offspring that can survive
all offspring survive to old age
not producing enough offspring
the right amount of offspring is produced
27
What leads to speciation (the creation of new species)?
A large amount of variation in an individual
A large amount of variation in a population
artificial selection
Little or no change in an ecosystem
28
If there is no competition there is not impetus (reason) to change describes...
struggle to survive
overproduction of offspring
differential reproduction
genetic variation

changes in traits in populations over time
short-term process experienced by indiv in lifetime

33
Why would genetic variation be important to bears?
They can pick their own mates
It allows for their adaptation
It allows them to get bigger
