High fitness individuals in a population:

Live longer and have more offspring

Live longer but have less offspring

Neither live longer nor have more offspring

The law of superposition states

the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest is on the top when it is undisturbed

the oldest rock layer is on the top, the younger rock layer is on the bottom

rock layers are always in sequence from oldest to youngest

the youngest rock layer is on the bottom and the oldest is on the top

the earliest growth stage of development

the oldest stage of development

See picture for question

Live in the same type of ecosystem

Have slowly evolved to become herbivores

Exchanged DNA at some point in the past

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

What conclusion can you draw from the fact that many modern whale species have vestigial pelvic and leg bones?

The ancestors of whales may have been land mammals

Whales could walk if they wanted to

Whales are preparing to evolve into land animals

Someday whales will be able to walk and will have legs

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 fact that both these mammals incubate their immature offspring in a pouch provides evidence that they-

Are descended from a common ancestor

Must range great distances to eat

Have very similar skeletal structures

How can the pattern of change in the fossil record best be explained?

The mollusks were well adapted to their stable environment. A large, sudden change occurred in their environment. After the change the mollusks with the bigger shells were better adapted for the new environment.

The mollusks were well adapted to their stable environment. The mollusks hybridized with a smaller species of mollusk. A new species of mollusk with a bigger shell resulted.

The mollusks were not well adapted to their environment. The length of the mollusks' shells changed gradually over time. The mollusks in the original population that had small shells died over a period of many years.

Two organisms that are closely related would have

completely different DNA sequence

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

Certain insects resemble (look like) the bark of the trees on which they live. Which statement provides the best explanation for this resemblance ? (Peppered Moths)

Natural selection played a role in this protective coloration

The trees caused mutations in the insects

The insect camouflage so they developed this coloration

7 Wild Mustangs were taken from the prairies of Iowa after a Texan Rancher purchased them and provided them with their own pasture. Those 7 Mustangs eventually became 122.
