1
In a muddy pool, light-colored fish are more likely to be eaten than dark fish. Dark color is
[none of the other options]
fossil evidence.
artificial selection.
an adaptation.
2
Both pig and rabbit embryos have gill slits. This suggests that
pigs are more closely related to fish than rabbits.
pigs and rabbits can live in water.
pigs and rabbits are closely related to fish.
pigs and rabbits share a common ancestor.
3
How well an organism survives and reproduces in its environment can be described as its
fitness.
common descent.
homologous structure.
analogous structure.
4
Darwin's theory of evolution is supported by
fossil evidence.
DNA evidence.
embryology.
[all of the other options]
5
In addition to living species, Darwin studied the preserved remains of ancient organisms called
vestigial structures.
fossils.
adaptations.
homologous structures.
6
How is the modern theory of evolution different from Darwin's Theory?
Organisms best adapted survive and pass on their traits.
Traits acquired during life can be passed on to offspring
We can know explain the mechanism for variation.
Species that don't adapt to environment will become extinct
7
Peppered moths vary in color from light gray to black. In an area without factories, we expect
mostly light moths.
no moths.
mostly dark moths.
equal numbers of light and dark moths.
8
Body parts that are used for the same function but are NOT the same structure are called
homologous structures.
analogous structures.
embryonic similarities.
vestigial structures.
9
An inherited characteristic that increases an organism's ability to survive & reproduce is
an analogous structure.
a vestigial structure.
a homologous structure.
an adaptation.
10
A bird's wings are homologous to
a dog's front legs.
a mosquito's wings.
an alligator's claws.
a fish's tailfin.
11
In natural selection, humans select the variations of traits to be passed down to offspring.
true
false
12
Scientists think that chimps are more closely related to humans than other primates. Why?
Both human and chimp embryos contain gill slits.
Humans and chimps have binocular vision.
Humans and chimps are both placental mammals.
Humans and chimps share 98% of their DNA sequences.
13
Body parts that have little/no purpose are called
analogous structures.
vestigial structures.
homologous structures.
embryonic similarities.
14
Which of these would an animal breeder use to increase the number of cows giving the most milk?
artificial selection
overproduction
acquired traits
natural selection
15
The large ground finch obtains food by cracking seeds. Its short, strong beak is an example of
an adaptation.
the tendency towards perfection.
a vestigial organ.
the struggle for existence.
16
Both bats and mosquitoes have wings. Wings are an example of
homologous structures.
vestigial structures.
[all of the other options]
analogous structures.
17
Which is NOT part of Darwin's theory of evolution?
natural selection
common descent
variations and adaptations
acquired traits
18
Which of the following does NOT provide evidence for evolution?
natural variation within a species
homologous structures of living organisms
geographical distribution of living organisms
fossil record
19
The wings of bats and forelimbs of cats are vestigial structures.
true
false
20
Structures shared by organisms that come from a common ancestor are called
analogous structures.
vestigial structures.
embryonic similarities.
homologous structures.
21
Annelids are most closely related to:
Mollusks
Chordata
Arthropods
Echinoderms
