Evolution is best defined as:

• the process which organisms die.

• the process which organisms change over time.

• the process which organisms that are extinct become revived.

• the process which non-living things fossilize.

The solidified remain or imprint of a once living thing are called:

• Fossils

• Homologous Structures

• Vestigial Structures

• DNA

What type of evidence is represented in the picture above:

• Fossils

• Vestigial Structures

• DNA

• Homologous Structures

What type of evidence is shown in the image above?

• Fossils

• Vestigial structures

• Homologous Structures

• DNA

The diagram shows fossils in different rock layers. Which of these statements about the age of these fossils is most likely correct?

• Fossil A and C are the same age
  
• Fossil B is older than fossil C
• Fossils A is older than fossil B
• Fossil D is older than fossil C

The process in which organisms with traits well suited to an environment are more likely to survive and to produce offspring is

• Natural Selection
• Origin of Species
• Genetic Principles
• Trait Mechanism

Comparing human hemoglobin of chimpanzees, horses, kangaroos, and chickens, reveal that humans have the fewest amino acid differences with 

• Kangaroos
• Horses
• chickens
• chimpanzees

Who is the father of evolution?

• Darwin
• Mendel
• Newton
• Einstein

What is another name for natural selection?

• survival of the smartest
• survival of the fastest
• survival of the biggest
• survival of the fittest

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.
