Taxonomy, Evolution

The process where scientists classify organisms based on specificity.

• Mitosis

• Natural Selection

• Taxonomy

• Common Ancestry

Which list of characteristics describes organisms classified as animals?

• autotrophic, multicellular, prokaryotic

• multicellular eukaryotic, heterotrophic

• unicellular, eukaryotic, heterotrophic

• multicellular, eukaryotic, autotrophic

In which kingdom does the organism below belong?

• Animalia

• Fungi

• Plantae

• Eubacteria

Cell with a nucleus, DNA is found in the nucleus of this cell. 

• Prokaryotic 
• Eukaryotic
• Unicellular
• Multicellular 

What is the term for a feature that allows an organism to survive in its environment?

• adaptation
• variation
• homologous structure
• vestigial structure

• analogous structures
• homologous structures
• vestigial structures
• none of the above

Vertebrate embryos pass through similar stages of development is evidence for

• use and disuse
• homologous structures
• common ancestry
• acquired characteristics

Individuals that are well adapted to their environment will survive and produce

• better traits
• stronger genes
• more offspring
• fewer mutations

All the individuals of a species that live in a particular area are called a 

• group
• population
• variation
• fossil

When an organism of a species has an adaptation, it will compete for resources better, survive longer and pass that adaptation on to it's offspring. This process is called

• evolution by natural selection
• artificial selection
• inbreeding
• outbreeding
