Evolution

,

Natural Selection

,

Extinction

,

Artifical Selection

Back

Natural Selection

Front

Which organisms are most likely to survive? Options:

the best adapted

,

,

the most domesticated (tamed)

Back

the best adapted

Front

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

• The light mice can reproduce more successfully than the dark mice
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because the dark mice taste better
• The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily
• The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because they can see the dark mice more easily

Back

The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily

Front

The differences between the wings of moths of the same species is an example of:

Natural Selection

,

Variation

,

Homeostasis

,

Extinction

Back

Variation

Front

As explained by Darwin’s theory, which condition allows a rabbit population to evolve by natural selection when a disease strikes?

Back

Some rabbits are resistant to the disease, and they pass the resistance to their offspring.

Front

How could genetic variation that contributes to evolution occur in an isolated population?

Back

A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.

Front

What is the most likely explanation of the data shown below? Options: There has been a drought in the area that is affecting all life forms. The population of natural predators of the moths has gotten smaller. The moths are living in an environment with light trees. The moths are living in an environment with dark trees.

Back

The moths are living in an environment with dark trees.

Front

What will most likely occur to the moth populations in the image above?

Back

The light moths will be captured by predators more easily than the dark moths, and the population of dark moths will rise.

Front

Suppose a certain species of insect lives in the lush green canopy of the rain forest. Some of the insects are bright green in color, and some are bright yellow. Assume there is a natural predator of the insect in the area. What do you expect to happen to the populations of the green and the yellow insects over time?

Back

The green insect population will increase and the yellow insect population will decrease.

Front

The process of choosing parent organisms for desired characteristics is called ________.

Back

Artificial selection
