Which of the following would represent a sudden environmental change?

• Wildfire

• Global Warming

• Competition for food

• Desert encroachment 

Survival of the Fittest and Evolution were proposed by what scientist?

• Charles Darwin

• Albert Einstein

• Steven Hawking

• Isaac Newton

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

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Extinction

• Artifical Selection

What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?

• To look different from other species.

• To be able to eat the food readily available in the environment.

• To protect itself against predators.

• To protect itself against prey.

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.

Mutations are a change in what?

• DNA

• tRNA

• genotype

• phenotype

Where humans have bred organisms together based on traits we like.

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Extinction 

• Artificial Selection

Genetic differences between organisms of the same species

• Variation

• Adaptation

• Behavior

• Environment

Structures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures

• homologous structures

• adaptive radiation

• fossil

Study of embryos of various organisms to show a common ancestor because of similarities in development

• natural selection

• embryology

• speciation
