The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

are descended from a common ancestor

Have very similar skeletal structures

must range great distances to eat

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

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

Which of the following is an example of the founder effect ?

Small group of iguanas floats to an island, starts a new population.

Bald Eagles are hunted until near extinction, population recovers.

Red fox pups are more likely to survive in a snowy environment if they are born white.

Farmer chooses seeds from largest apples to plant next year. This results in larger apples from year to year.

_______ are two sources of genetic variation in a population

Founder Effect and Artificial Mating

Which of the following is NOT an example of natural selection?

People selectively breeding hamsters.

Insect populations developing resistance to certain pesticides.

Bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics.

Male birds of certain species developing colorful feathers to attract female mates.

7 wild mustangs were taken from the prairies of Oklahoma after a Texas rancher purchased them and provided them with their own pasture. Those 7 mustangs eventually reproduced to have 122 offspring.

Genetic Drift (small population)

The theory of evolution by natural selection means that what is changing over time?

The inherited traits of a population.

The acquired traits of a population.

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.

The graphs below show the changes in crab color at one beach. Which of the following is most likely to have caused the change in the distribution?

A change in beach color made medium-tan crabs the most visible to predators.

A new predator arrived that preferred dark-tan crabs.

A new predator arrived that preferred light-tan crabs.

A change in beach color made medium-tan crabs the least visible to predators.

A population of rabbits grows rapidly from one year to the next. Then one year, a disease strikes approximately one fourth of the adult rabbits. The disease remains with the population in the years that follow. As explained by Darwin’s theory, which of these conditions allows the rabbit population to evolve by natural selection?

Some rabbits are resistant to the disease, and they pass the resistance to their offspring.

The disease affects adult and juvenile rabbits equally.

The disease reduces the ability of the rabbits to reproduce.

No rabbits are resistant to the disease, and all die when the disease strikes them.

What are the 8 levels of classification of living things from most general to most specific?

domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species

domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genius, species

domain, kingdom, phamily, class, order, family, genus, species

domain, king, phillip, class, order, family, genus, species

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

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

A group of organisms that can mate, but do not produce offspring.

Indivual organisms that live in the same environment.
