Polar bears live in the Arctic. Ice in the Arctic in melting rapidly, reducing the range in which the polar bear can live. If polar bears do not have adaptation that allow them to survive these changes, what might happen to them?

• become another speices

• overpopulation

• change the enviornment

• become extinct

A reptile that is a herbivore and exists only on an isolated island. What is a reason they would go extinct?

• produces many offspring with many unique traits, and the environment does not change

• produces many offspring with few unique traits, and the environment changes

• produces few offspring with many unique traits, and the environment does not change

• produces few offspring with few unique traits, and the environment changes

Which statement best explains adaptations in context of the Theory of Evolution.

• adaptations are critical to the survival of a species by providing ways to adjust

• adaptations allow a single surviving organism to choose its traits and then reproduce

• adaptations are when an organism changes is environment to make it easier to live

• adaptations allow organisms to learn how to survive in any environment

A Koala eats a certain type of leaf from a Eucalyptus Tree. These trees are becoming less and less common. What will happen if the Koala can't adapt to a new food source?

• The Koala population may increase as the strongest ones survive and reproduce

• The Koala bear may become extinct if they can not find new food to eat

• the Koala population will stay the same as long as they stay in a restricted space

• The Koala bear's genes will immediately change and allow them to survive

Some scientist think that the dinosaurs went extinct because of an asteroid strike which changed the Earth's climate; other's think that volcanic eruptions changed the climate and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

What do these have in common?

• both suggest climate change led to artificial selection

• both suggest particles from the sky buried the dinosaurs

• both suggest that dinosaurs evolved too quickly after a disaster

• both suggest that dinosaurs were unable to adapt to climate change
