You look at two species and see very similar DNA. What does this likely tell you?

These animals have a common ancestor.

These animals are not likely related.

These animals are likely becoming one species.

The example of the peppered (brown) moths living near English industrial cities demonstrates that

A change in an environment can result in the evolution of species living there

Evolution occurs so slowly that is it not possible to determine that it has happened in less than a million years

The environment near these cities has always favored dark colored moths

This image shows that

two different species may have evolved from a common ancestor.

These animals have no simliarities in their structures.

These animals are from the same species.

These animals likely evolved from different ancestors due to their differences.

Animals migrating in a population

Animals using their phenotype to find mates

Which of these statements best describes what Darwin observed on the Galapagos Islands?

The finch population on each island was unique

The finches on the islands ate seeds and nuts, but no insects

The finches on the islands were the same as the finches in Ecuador

The finches could produce offspring only with finches from other islands

The diagram shows fossils in different rock layers. Which of these statements about the age of these fossils is most likely correct?

Fossil D is older than fossil C

Fossil A and C are the same age

Fossil B is older than fossil C

Fossils A is older than fossil B

What would happen if the Giraffes never evolve?

They will find another source of food

Scientist have created larger and sweeter strawberries for humans to consume (eat). What process was used?

Environmental Natural Selection

Why do frogs and other organism reproduce so many eggs or offspring?

the more offspring the more likely the offspring will survive

so that their babies can have friends to play with

the more offspring the less likely offspring will survive

the more offspring the less competition
