Multiple Choice

What is evolution?

1

The loss of a species (A species dies out)

2

The change of traits in species overtime

3

A species preys on another species

4

The change of a carnivore into an herbivore

34

Multiple Choice

According to evolution what happens to the frequency of traits in a population of species overtime?

1

The frequency of traits randomly increases

2

The frequency of traits never changes

3

The frequency of advantageous traits increases overtime

4

The frequency of traits decrease overtime

35

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes the rate of evolution?

1

It is always a slow process

2

It usually is a slow process but it can occur quickly as well

3

It is usually a fast process but it can occurs slowly as well

4

It is always a fast process

36

Multiple Choice

What is a common ancestor?

1

A selective pressure that led to the formation of all the species on Earth

2

An organism from which all the organisms on Earth descended from

3

4

An organism that lives on a different planet as well

37

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT a postulate of Darwin's theory?

1

There is little or no variation among the individuals in a species

2

Individuals compete with each-other for resources

3

Competition can lead to death of individuals

4

Individuals who survive are more likely to reproduce and pass traits to offspring

38

Multiple Choice

What is an adaptation?

1

A characteristic that an organism acquires during its life

2

A favorable trait, which helps an organism survive

3

An unfavorable trait, which hurts the chances of survival

4

A trait that makes an organism "less fit"

39

Multiple Choice

Which organisms are more likely to survive, reproduce and pass their traits to offspring?

1

Organisms that are well-adapted to the environment

2

Organisms that are not well-adapted to the environment

3

Organisms that reproduce very quickly

Multiple Choice

Fossils are an important piece of evidence for evolution because:

1

They show that organisms have changed over time on Earth

2

They demonstrate that organisms have become more and more complex

3

They suggest there are similarities between ancient and present organisms

4

All of the above
