• FALSE

What is the name of the structure in an organism that has lost all or most of its original function in the course of evolution, such as human appendixes?

• Vestigial structure
  
• Vertebrate
• population
• gene pool

What type of cells were originally large prokaryotic cells that absorbed smaller prokaryotic cells?

• DNA
• Hair color
• Eukaryotic Cells
• bipedalism

Fossils sometimes show that a single species or a small group of species has evolved into diverse forms that live in different ways. An example would be the finches from the galapagos islands having one common ancestor. What is this process called?

• smaller
• adaptive radiation
• population
• fossil

If a fossil record shows little change over long periods of time, followed by a sudden, brief period of rapid change, what type of evolution has occurred?

• Punctuated Equilibrium
• extinction
• vestigial structure
• eukaryota 

It has been discovered that the early atmosphere consisted of carbon dioxide with little to no oxygen. Based on this idea, the first cells could be classified as….

• aerobic 
• fossil
• anaerobic
