• Isaac Newton

Multiple Select

Which of the following statements are true about Natural Selection? (select all that apply)

• It is a process that allows organisms to adapt to their environments.

• It happens instantly within an animals lifetime.

• It is a constant process that happens over many generation.

• It occurs because environments do not change.

• It occurs because environments change causing the factors of an organisms survival to change.

Multiple Choice

Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring? 

• Evolution 
• Variation 
• Adaptation
• Natural Selection 

​

​Fossil Evidence

• ​Presents of vestigial structures in living descendants.

  • Vestigial Struture = structures that are remaining from ancestors that are small or imperfectly developed and unable to function.

    • EX: human appendix, leg bones in whales , human tailbone.

Multiple Choice

Which layer is the oldest?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Multiple Choice

_________________ show clear changes in an organism over time, the environment organisms lived in, the time period the organism lived in, and where the organism lived.

• DNA

• Vestigial structures

• Fossils

• Homologous structures

Multiple Choice

What is a change in an organism that allows for it to survive in its environment?

• homologous

• vestigial

• variation

• adaptation

Multiple Choice

The struggle for existence against other members of an organisms species is

• Competition
• Natural Selection
• gene flow
• genetic drift

Multiple Choice

What type of structure does this image illustrate?

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

• Vestigial structures

Multiple Choice

A category of structures that have a similar function, but are structurally different.

• Homologous structures

• Analogous structures

• Vestigial structures

• Common core structures

Multiple Choice

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

Multiple Choice

What is this an example of?

• vestigial structures

• embryology

• homologous structures

• fossil record

Multiple Choice

Type of reproductive barrier evidenced by this diagram.

• Temporal isolation

• Habitat (geographic) isolation

• Behavioral isolation

• Mechanical isolation

• Gametic isolation

Multiple Choice

When members of two populations reproduce during different times.

• behavioral isolation

• temporal isolation

• geographic isolation

• calendar isolation

Multiple Choice

Charles Darwin said all that species share:

• a common ancestor

• the same DNA

• the same species

• a home

Multiple Choice

Gene Flow tends to ___________ genetic variation (diversity)

• Increase
• Decrease
• Stabilize
• Exaggerate 

Multiple Choice

Which organisms are most likely to survive?

• the best adapted
• the fastest
• the strongest
• the most domesticated (tamed)

Multiple Choice

7 Wild Mustangs were taken from the prairies of Iowa after a Texan Rancher purchased them and provided them with their own pasture. Those 7 Mustangs eventually became 122.

• Genetic Drift (small popultaion)
• Non-random mating
• Gene flow
• Mutations

Multiple Choice

Five hundred years after the deer had established a flourishing population in the park, a few of them venture back to their original woods and have babies with the deer there.

• Genetic Drift
• Mutations
• Non-random mating
• Gene flow

Multiple Choice

A few deer wander out of their native woods into a completely new park where no deer had ever been before. They go on to create an entirely new population.

• Genetic Drift

• Natural Selection

• Non-random mating

• Mutation

Multiple Choice

How do fossils provide evidence that evolution has happened on Earth?

• Fossils show how the sizes of certain animals has changed drastically over millions of years
• Fossils show that some species have gone extinct
• Fossils show how life forms present today are different than those from the past
• Different sedimentary rock layers provide evidence for how the environment has changed over time

Multiple Choice

• Selection

• Gradualism

• Punctuated Equilibrium

• Adaptive
