Why did the population of peppered moths in England change from light to dark after the Industrial Revolution produced a lot of pollution?

Light moths were easy to see against sooty trees and were eaten

Light moths were killed by soot

The birds that ate the dark moths were killed by soot

Dark moths were produced by industrial processes

Which is an example of sexual selection.

Female peacocks choose the males with the longest tails even though the tails make it harder for males to survive.

Female deer choose the fastest bucks to mate with because they are well adapted to the environment.

A female fig tree swiped left on Tinder.

Female hornets have a better chance of surviing in an environment than males.

What is convergent evolution?

evolution toward similar traits in unrelated species

evolution toward different traits in closely related species

elimination of a species from Earth

the rise of two or more species from one existing species

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.

Because they come from dominant alleles.

Because they come from recessive alleles.

Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

A group of organisms that can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring.

A group of organisms that can mate and produce offspring even if those offspring are infertile.

A group of organisms that genetically are very different from each other.

Indivual organisms that live in the same environment.

Which is an example of temporal isolation?

flowers that bloom in different months

birds that have different mating calls

fruit flies that mate in different locations

squirrels that have different fur colors

When has speciation occurred?

When populations can no longer interbreed

When populations no longer look the same

When populations no longer have the same frequency of alleles

When populations are living in different environments

Which trait do only humans have, according to the cladogram?

terrestrial during all life stages

What characteristic do all the organisms on this cladogram share?

Partial binocular vision & opposable thumbs

Being bi-pedal & having language

You look at two species and see very similar amino acid sequences. 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.
