Evolution Review

Which question were the scientists trying to answer with this experiment?

• Where do cells come from?

• How did prokaryotes form cell membranes?

• How are biomolecules formed?

• What gave rise to the Eukaryotic cell?

The apparatus in the experiment was used to mimic what?

• Proteins

• Present Earth conditions

• Early Earth conditions

• Nucleic acids (DNA/RNA)

The electrical sparks mimicked?

• The Sun's energy

• Lightning

• Volcanic eruptions

• Cosmic radiation

What was the product of the Miller-Urey Experiment?

• Simple amino acids

• Simple nucleotides

• Simple lipids

• Simple monosaccarides

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

• Fossil A and C are the same age
  

• Fossil B is older than fossil C

• Fossils A is older than fossil B

• Fossil D is older than fossil C

Based upon the conditions of the early Earth, which forms of live most likely appeared first?

• Prokaryotic and aerobic

• Prokaryotic and anaerobic 

• Eukaryotic and aerobic

• Eukaryotic and anaerobic

What is this an example of?

• vestigial structures

• embryology

• homologous structures

• fossil record

Darwin wrote that organisms with traits that are best suited to the environment will ________________

• increase in number
  

• become extinct
  

Two organisms that are closely related would have

• very similar DNA sequence

• exactly the same DNA sequences

• no proteins in common

• completely different DNA sequence

The study of the early stages of development that is one evidence of evolution is:

• Homologous Structures

• Embryology

• Vestigial Organs
