Evolution Quiz #2

Natural Selection is driven by a change in the environment and survival of the

• Earth

• Fastest

• Fittest

• Biggest

Where the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artifical Selection

Gradualism means Natural Selection would normally happen over many generations and very

• slowly

• quickly

• in space

• beyond time

Two populations of the same species are separated by land barriers like rivers or mountains.

• geographical isolation

• temporal isolation

• adaptive ratiation

• behavioral isolaton

All the possible gene combinations in a population.

• allele

• gene pool

• genome

• mitosis

Organisms of the same species can no longer interbreed therefore creating two species.

• Gene Pool

• Genetic Drift

• Gene Frequency

• Speciation

What process is being shown in this image?

• Variation
• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding
• Homeostasis

The more genetic variation a population has,

the more likely it is for some individuals to

• evolve

• migrate

• survive

• mutate

Mutations are important because they bring about

• death of the organism in which they develop

• genetic variation needed for a population to evolve

• benefits for the individual, not for the population

• changes in genotype, but not phenotype

A few deer wander out of their native woods into a completely new park where no deer had ever been before. They go on to create an entirely new population.

• Genetic Drift
• Natural Selection
• Non-random mating
• Mutation
