What is the best definition of Geologic Evolution?

Change in the non-living planet over time

What is the best definition of Biological Evolution

Changes in living organisms over time

Geographic Isolation and Reproductive Isolation are all ways....

New Species can be formed over time

What does Variation mean?

There are genetic differences in any population

Overproduction means what?

Organisms have more than two offspring so at least some will survive

What are the five mechanisms of evolution

Overproduction, Competition, Variation, Adaptation, Natural Selection

Sexual Reproduction leads to...

A new combination of genes, A genetically different offspring

What is absolute dating when it comes to rocks

Testing the uranium or carbon to see how much they have decayed

What does Competition mean?

Organisms must compete for resources (food, space, mates)

Why is the fossil record good evidence of evolution?

It shows how organisms changed through time

2
What is the best definition of Biological Evolution
Survival of the fittest

3
Comparison of cellular structures to see if they are evolutionarily linked
DNA synthesis
Comparative embryology
Behavioral Comparison
Cytology
4
Geographic Isolation and Reproductive Isolation are all ways....
Genes can spread all over the world
Animals can be born
New Species can be formed over time
5
What is evidence of evolution?
Watching an animal adapt in one generation
Watching a monkey give birth to a human
Watching a fish magically sprout legs
The fossil record
6
What does Variation mean?
Some animals are better adapted for their environment than others
Animals make more babies than will survive
The best organism for the environment survives and reproduces
There are genetic differences in any population
7
The ability of organisms that are best adapted to survive and reproduce is...
Competition
Natural Selection
Overproduction
Variation
8
Look similar between organisms and are evidence they evolved from a common ancestor
Comparative Anatomy
Analogous Structure
Homologous Structure
Vestigial Structure
9
What happens if a species becomes separated and is no longer able to interbreed?
They stay the same
They become different species
They get lonely
10
Overproduction means what?
Only the fittest for the environment survive to reproduce
Organisms have more than two offspring so at least some will survive
Animals that are best adapted for their environment survive
Animals compete for resources
11
Features that are similar in organisms that are not closely related
Comparative anatomy
Homologous Feature
Vestigial Feature
Analogous Feature
12
Eventually over time new species will evolve from older species
Evolution
Natural Selection
Speciation
Fitness
13
What are the five mechanisms of evolution
Circle of Life, Natural Selection, Types of Isolation
Eat, Poop, Live, Laugh Love
Overproduction, Competition, Variation, Adaptation, Natural Selection
Competition, Overproduction, Punctuated equilibrium, Isolation
14
A change in the DNA of an organism due to external or internal factors (Most are not beneficial but some are)
Comparative embryology
Mutation
DNA synthesis
Cytology
15
Sexual Reproduction leads to...
a genetically identical offspring
A new combination of genes
7th and 8th grade boys making jokes
A genetically different offspring
16
Examines the differences and similarities in embryo development before birth
Embryology
Behavioral Comparisons
Molecular Comparisons
Cytology
17
A now useless feature that is remnant of our evolutionary past
Analogous feature
Comparative Anatomy
Vestigial Feature
Homologous Feature
18
What is absolute dating when it comes to rocks
You can tell the exact date the rock was formed
Fossils tell us what type of rock it is
Testing the uranium or carbon to see how much they have decayed
Taking rocks out for dinner
19
The Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was discovered by....
Faulk
Einstein
Edison
Darwin
20
What does fitness mean in reference to evolution?
Being fast for the animal kingdom
Being able to reproduce
Being thin for your species
Being hot according to your species
21
Species making small changes over time is called.....
Punctuated equilibrium
Darwinism
Gradualism
Natural Selection
22
What does Competition mean?
Organisms make more than enough babies because they know some will die
Organisms must compete for resources (food, space, mates)
Some organisms are well suited for their environment
Variation must exist in a population
23
Why is the fossil record good evidence of evolution?
It shows how organisms changed through time
They're just rocks. It's not evidence of anything
Fossils are where all DNA is stored
Rocks are evidence too
24
What is at least one mechanism of evolution
Genetic Recombination from Reproduction
Reproductive Isolation
Geographic Isolation
Natural Selection
