Fossil D is older than fossil C

Fossil A and C are the same age

Fossil B is older than fossil C

Fossils A is older than fossil B

2. Why is it important for animals to use camouflage?

it hides them from predators while their parents are away

it warns predators to stay away

it makes them look dead so predators won't eat them

it startles them with a flash of color

3. What does it mean to hibernate?

To sleep for an extended period of time during the winter

To change your physical characteristics

What does it mean to CAMOUFLAGE?

when an animal is able to change colors to survive in an enviornment

when a weak animal copies a stronger animal to warn of predators

when an animal hibernates during the winter.

Which is NOT a physical adaptation?

a bear hibernating in the winter

The increase in the number of black snails can best be explained by

natural selection after an environmental change

climatic change followed by ecological succession

increased stability due to a decrease in variation

The theory of evolution states that

species change over time, sometimes developing into new species

species that are extinct have no biological relationship to living species

different animal species always interbreed to form new and different species

the environment of Earth is constant over time

Humans, birds, whales and lizards all have similar arm bones including phalanges and metacarpals. What is the reason for this?

They function of these bones is the same in all animals

They live in similar environment

Evolution can occur at different rates; however, for evolution to occur, there must be

no change in the genes of an organism

In order for a species to evolve, it must be able to

consume a large quantity of food

maintain a constant body temperature

The theory of biological evolution includes which concepts?

species of organisms found on Earth today have adaptations not always found in earlier species

fossils are the remains of present-day species and were all formed at the same time

individuals may acquire physical characteristics after birth and pass these acquired characteristics on to their offspring.

the smallest organisms are always eliminated by the larger organisms within the ecosystem

Limited resources contribute to evolution in animals by increasing

competition between members of the species

genetic variation within the population

the carrying capacity for the species

the rate of photosynthesis in the population

Darwin's studies of finches on the Galapagos Islands suggest that the finches' differences in beak structure were most directly due to

adaptations of the finches to different environments and the food sources available

acquired characteristics in the parent finches

the size of the island where the finches live

mating behaviors of the different finch species

The diagram below illustrates the distribution of fossils in undisturbed layers of silt at the bottom of the ocean. Which inference can correctly be made from the diagram?

The fossils in layer C are older than those in layer A.

The fossils in layer B are older than those in layer C.

The fossils in layer A are older than those in layer C.

The fossils in layer A are older than those in layer B.

Which is the most accurate method of dating fossils?

Radiometric Dating to find Absolute Age

Why is the mouse population changing over time?

The hawks eat more light mice than dark mice because they can see the light mice more easily

The light mice can reproduce more successfully than the dark mice

The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because the dark mice taste better

The hawks eat more dark mice than light mice because they can see the dark mice more easily

An example of a physical adaptation is

Blending in with the surrounding environment

Releasing a foul smelling spray
