Evolution

Which statement best describes the process of evolution?

• Populations can survive in different locations on earth
• Environmental conditions limit the number of species on Earth
• Populations grow when resources are abundant
• The traits of a species can change over time

When every organism of a species has died.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artificial Selection

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

What did Charles Darwin observe in finch populations of the Galapagos Islands off the coast of South America?

• different species on different islands
• all species on one of the islands
• identical species on all the islands
• the same species as North America

What islands did Darwin do most of his research on?

• Hawaiian Islands

• Malta Islands

• Galapagos Islands

• Indonesia Archipelagos

What is survival of the fittest?

• It is where the fittest die out and therefore reproduce and pass on their genes
• It is where the fittest die out and therefore can't reproduce and pass on their genes
• It is where the fittest don't die out and therefore can't reproduce and pass on their genes
• It is where the fittest don't die out and therefore reproduce and pass on their genes

Have human beings evolved from apes?

• Yes and we evolved through natural selection
• Yes and we evolved through survival of the fittest
• No but we share a common ancestor
• Yes  and we evolved through adapting to the environment

a group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring

• evolution
• species
• variation
• fossil

All of these finches have different shaped beaks, they are an adaptation to gain access of 

• Water
• Food
• Shelter

Which is not an example of an adaptation?

• A bird's beak allows it to crack open hard nuts.
