Which statement describing a cause of extinction includes the other 3

members the extinct species lacked adaptations for survival

Darwin's theory of evolution is based on

variation and natural selection

A trait with low survival value to the members of a population will most likely

decrease in frequency from one generation to the next

Which statement best describes evolution?

a process of change in a species over a period of time

Which statement best represents the major concept of the biological theory of evolution?

Present-day organisms developed from earlier different ones

Differences between members of a population will most likely be passed on if they are

due to genetic changes and result in favorable variations

After the industrial Rev, more dark-colored moths lived.Now we cleaned and there are more light

the environment favored the survival of light colored moths

Today many bacteria are resistant to penicillin which once killed them. Because penicillin...

killed susceptible bacteria and resistant survive/reproduced

Similarity in the skeletal structures of whales, bats, and humans leads to the conclusion that

they descended from a common ancestor

If mitotic cell division is the only way a single-celled organisms can reproduce it can be said

the rate of evolution in this species is slower than sexual

Caffeine is found in the seeds of plants (cola nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans) this suggests

that these plants share a common ancestry

Which statement concerning sexual reproduction is correct?

it is not necessary in order for the individual to survive

Which species is most likely to survive changing environmental conditions?

a species that reproduces sexually

Which provides evidence that evolution is still occurring at present time?

new varieties of plant species appear where climate changes

Young birds that have been in isolation from others of their species build nests like them

suggests nest building is genetically inherited

A museum has fossils that only a few represent species that are still alive. One reason is

most species that have ever lived are now extinct

the factor most often acting as a selection agent for the survival of a species in a location

is the environment they inhabit

The Florida panther, has a population of less than 100 and limited variation. Which inference

will not be able to easily adapt to changing environment

The process of natural selection is based on the assumption that

different traits inherited have different survival value

once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. This is likely because

resistant bacteria survive in greater numbers and pass it on

Answers

1
Which statement describing a cause of extinction includes the other 3
members of the extinct species were unable to use camouflage
members the extinct species were unable to compete for food
members of the extinct species were too slow escape predator
members the extinct species lacked adaptations for survival
2
A maple tree releases hundreds of seeds in a single season. This is an example of
non-random mating
isolation
overproduction
a mutation
3
the fact that a healthy deer can outrun a timber wolf is an example of
mutation
natural selection
non-random mating
isolation
4
Darwin's theory of evolution is based on
variation and natural selection
use and disuse
transmission of acquired characteristics
spontaneous genetic mutations
5
A trait with low survival value to the members of a population will most likely
decrease in frequency from one generation to the next
undergo a series of mutations in succeeding generations
remain unchanged in frequency through many generations
cause the reproductive rate of the individual to increase
6
Evolution of a species could occur as a result of changes in the
DNA in muscle cells
base sequences in liver cells
genes in an egg cell
number of chromosomes in a fetal bone cell
7
Which statement best describes evolution?
a process of change in a species over a period of time
a sudden replacement of one community by another
the isolation of organisms from each other for many years
an adaptation of an organism to its environment
8
Which statement best represents the major concept of the biological theory of evolution?
Present-day organisms developed from earlier different ones
new species move into a habitat when another becomes extinct
Every period of time in Earth's history has its own group
every location on Earth's surface has its own unique group
9
Differences between members of a population will most likely be passed on if they are
due to genetic changes and result in favorable variations
not due to genetic changes/ result in favorable variations
due to genetic changes and result in unfavorable variations
not due to genetic changes/ result in unfavorable variations
10
After the industrial Rev, more dark-colored moths lived.Now we cleaned and there are more light
the environment favored the survival of light colored moths
overpop occurred & most of light moths died leavin only dark
dark colored moths turned light because they needed survive
the allele for light color became dominant over dark color
11
Today many bacteria are resistant to penicillin which once killed them. Because penicillin...
stimulated the produced of antigens in resistant bacteria
killed susceptible bacteria and resistant survive/reproduced
stimulated the bacteria to become resistant & passed it on
used today is not as strong as it was back in the day
12
Similarity in the skeletal structures of whales, bats, and humans leads to the conclusion that
they belong to the same order of mammals
they originated in the same environment
they have the same chromosome number
they descended from a common ancestor
13
If mitotic cell division is the only way a single-celled organisms can reproduce it can be said
the rate of evolution in this species is slower than sexual
that mutations can NOT occur in this species
that this species belongs to the animal kingdom
the number of organisms of this species in an area will stay
14
Caffeine is found in the seeds of plants (cola nuts, coffee beans, cacao beans) this suggests
that these plants were exposed to the same radiation
that these plants share a common ancestry
that these plants were cloned from a caffeine plant
that these plants inherited identical mutations
15
Which statement concerning sexual reproduction is correct?
it is not necessary in order for the individual to survive
it is necessary in order for the individual to survive
the offspring are identical to the parent
the offspring are identical to each other
16
Male turkeys naturally strut and display their tail feathers which attracts females. Example of
asexual reproduction
a learned behavior
selective breeding
a behavioral adaptation
17
Which species is most likely to survive changing environmental conditions?
a species that has a limited life span
a species that reproduces sexually
a species that has few variations
a species that competes with similar species
18
Which provides evidence that evolution is still occurring at present time?
the extinction rate of species has decreased
through cloning genetic makeup of organisms can b predicted
new varieties of plant species appear where climate changes
many bird species make annual migrations
19
Young birds that have been in isolation from others of their species build nests like them
suggests nest building is genetically inherited
suggests nest building is a disadvantage to their survival
suggests nest building is learned by watching others
suggests nest building is a result of the type of food eaten
20
A museum has fossils that only a few represent species that are still alive. One reason is
species alive today will not form fossils
fossils of only extinct species have been found
most species that have ever lived are alive today
most species that have ever lived are now extinct
21
the factor most often acting as a selection agent for the survival of a species in a location
is the new mutations within the individual
is the environment they inhabit
is the strength of an organism
in the speed of the organism
22
In most populations, the individuals that produce the greatest number of offspring are
always the strongest
usually the best adapted
those that are the most intelligent
those that have only inheritable traits
23
The Florida panther, has a population of less than 100 and limited variation. Which inference
they are easily able to adapt to the environment
these animals will begin to evolve rapidly
will be resistant to disease over time
will not be able to easily adapt to changing environment
24
The process of natural selection is based on the assumption that
different traits inherited have different survival value
most changes are the result of mutations
environmental changes will cause changes in body structure
part of the population of organisms always remains stable
25
once resistance appears in a bacterial population, it spreads rapidly. This is likely because
populations of resistant bacteria are small
exposure to antibiotics increases the rate of reproduction
resistant bacteria survive in greater numbers and pass it on
resistant bacteria are smaller than non
