The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor

The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment

The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases

All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

A prey population consists of individuals with a variety of running speeds. The adaptation that allows some of these animals to run fast would be an example of natural selection if it helps them —

reproduce and increase the frequency of their genes in the population

survive and undergo mutations in their DNA

produce offspring that run at average speeds

lower the mortality rates of the population

Genome maps provide the DNA sequences of chromosomes. Some scientists have compared the genome maps of a hedgehog and a sloth. What do these genome maps allow the scientists to determine?

How closely related the two species are to each other.

The color patterns of the offspring of each species

How much the size ranges of the two species differ

The methods of protein synthesis that each species uses

Scientists discover that cells from two species of organisms are made up of similar proteins, suggesting a close evolutionary relationship. If the scientists do further biochemical analyses, which additional finding would support this conclusion?

The anatomical structure of both organisms is similar.

The fossils of both organisms are found relatively close to each other in the fossil record.

The DNA nucleotide sequence of both organisms is similar.

Both populations of organisms have undergone natural selection over time.

The fossil record help scientists

better understand the kinds of organisms that lived in the past

better understand how the environment has changed over time

better understand how organisms have evolved over time

What is common ancestry?

When organisms are descended from a single ancestor

When a species no longer exists

If a bird and a reptile show similar traits during their development, what can be predicted about their relationship?

These two organisms have the exact same DNA

These two organisms do not have any common relative

Reptile-like creatures never had wings

Which is not an example of an adaptation?

A cat sleeps on the sofa to avoid the vacuum cleaner.

A bird's beak allows it to crack open hard nuts.

A zebra's stripes allow it to confuse its predators.

A frog's large hind legs allow it to jump from danger.

What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?

To be able to eat different types of food.

To look different from other species.

Change over time in a population.

Negative traits are acquired in populations.

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.

What can happen to a species over time if some of the organisms have an advantage?

The population will slowly increase

The population will become extinct

If a sick person takes an antibiotic but it doesn't kill all of the bacteria causing the sickness, what might explain this?

Variations in the bacteria allowed some organisms to be less affected by the antibiotic?

Bacteria cannot be killed by antibiotics

You cannot cure a bacterial infection

Bacteria do not cause sicknesses

The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring

The male and female black widow spider look very different. However, we know they are the same species because:

They reproduce creating fertile offspring

They reproduce creating infertile offspring

Drawn observed several different types of finches. Why are there so many different types?

Finches live in different habitats and eat different types of food.

Finches live in different places, but eat the same food.

Finches live in the same place, but eat different types of food.

Finches are found all over the world.

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

Which is the best description of a physical adaptation?

a part of an animal's body that helps it to survive in its environment.

a way an animal acts that helps it to survive in its environment.

a basic need that an animal must have from its environment.
