Evolution & diversity Retest Review

The trees these moths used to live on were white, but have been covered in soot from coal factories. Which moth will be more successful in this environment?

• Dark moth
• Light moth
• Both will be equally successful
• Neither will be successful

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
• evolution

What type of structures are these?

• homologous
• vestigial 
• analogous
• fossil

Whales are aquatic mammals that contain a pelvis (hip) bone. Even though it does not aid in its movement, the function must have been used by a common ancestor of the whale. Thus, the pelvis is referred to as a(n)

• vestigial structure

• analogous structure

• homologous structure

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

The difference in the physical traits of an individual from those of other individuals in a group is called a(n)

• change
• adaption
• species
• variation

The long and sharp beak of a woodpecker is an example of:

• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding

An error in DNA copying that results in a new trait

• Homeostasis
• Mutation
• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding
