Evolution and Human Body Systems Review

 Which organism in the chart above is most distantly related from the other organisms?

• A
• B
• C
• D

 The scientific name of a mountain lion is Felis concolor and a house cat is Felis catus. Based on the names, you can determine that these two animals belong to the same:
 

•   Species but a different genus
• Species but a different family
•  Family but a different order
•  Genus but a different species

 How is the circulatory system related to the digestive system

• The brain stem controls the heart rate.
•  Blood carries nutrients to body cells.
•  Stomach muscles contract and expand.
•  The pharynx is a passageway for air and food.

 Pelicans prevent serious wing damage by entering the water in the manner shown above. Which two organ systems in the pelican work together the most to accomplish this maneuver?

•  Circulatory and nervous systems
• Nervous and muscular systems
•  Muscular and digestive systems
•  Digestive and circulatory systems

 Which of the following structures are listed in order from the least complex to the most complex?

•  chloroplast, plant cell, leaf, rose bush
•  plant cell, leaf, chloroplast, rose bush
•  chloroplast, leaf, plant cell, rose bush
• rose bush, leaf, plant cell, chloroplast

 Which two species are least closely related?

• Species 1&2
• Species 1&3
• Species 2&3
• Species 3&4

 Given the information in the table below.  Species Sequence of Amino Acids in the Same Part of the Hemoglobin Molecules
Human  Lys-Glu-His-Iso
Horse  Arg-Lys-His-Lys
Gorilla Lys-Glu-His-Lys
Chimpanzee Lys-Glu-His-Iso
Zebra  Arg-Lys-His-Arg

•   Human and the gorilla
• Human and the chimpanzee
• Chimpanzee and the gorilla
• Horse and the zebra

  The similarities in the human arm and bat wing indicates that they

•  May share a common ancestor
•  Are competitive with each other
•  Eat the same foods
•  Are both birds

Which statement best represents the illustration

• All of the above animals are mammals
•  All of the above share homologous structures
•  All of the above structures show no evidence of relationship.
•  All of the above animals evolved in the same habitat

  The illustration above shows the structures of two unrelated species.  Each have a similar function but are different in structure. This is an example of -

•   Vestigial structures
• Cyclic structures
•  Analogous structures
• Homologous structures
