Chapter 10: EVOLUTION

Galapagos Finches having different beaks for different food sources would be an example of:

• mimicry

• analagous structures

• adaptations

• homologous structures

All of the red-tailed hawks living in an area would be an example of:

• population

• fossils

• species

• adaptation

The coccyx (tailbone) is an example of a:

• homologous structure

• vestigial organ

• adaptation

• none of these

Poodles, basset hounds, and pit bulls were all created by humans, and were produced by:

• natural selection

• selective breeding

• genetic engineering

• all of these

Individuals that are well adapted to their environment will survive and:

• have fewer mutations

• produce more offspring

• have weaker genes

• have fewer adaptations

Natural selection results in change over time by acting on traits that are said to be:

• heritable

• mutated

• better

• extinct

If two species have similar DNA sequences, they may:

• be not closely related

• have similar structures

• share a common ancestor

• not be related at all

He developed our current system of classification known as binomial nomenclature:

• Linneaus

• Darwin

• Lamarck

• Childers

He came up with the idea that the Earth is much older than 6,000 years old?

• Buffon

• Darwin

• Linneaus

• Einstein

He thought all species alive today descended from a common ancestor?

• Darwin

• Newton
