Biology Review for Final - Evolution

Darwin's theory of evolution (select all the apply)

• all species come from common ancestor

• The process of modern organism descending from ancient organism over a long period of time

• species will adapt in order to survive and reproduce

• acquired characteristics and be inherited

2 people that proved the earth was very old

• Lamark

• James Hutton

• Charles Lyell

• Thomas Malthus

Created theory of use and misuse. Said that acquired characteristics could be inherited.

• Huttom

• Darwin

• Lamark

• Lyell

Increases likelihood of survival

• adaptation

• fitness

• natural selection

Natural selection

• traits passed down from parent to offspring

• process resulting in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population

• nature provides the variation, humans select the useful variations

Select all of the evidence of evolution that show ADAPTATION

• Fossil Record

• Geographical distribution

• homologous structures

• Analogous

• Vestigial organ

Select the evidence of evolution that shows common descent

• Embrylogy

• Common Descent

• Homologous structures

• Biochemical

• Vestigial Organ

Lamarck’s ideas about evolution include the concept that differences among the traits of organisms happen as a result of

• increases in population size.

• the actions of organisms as they use or do not use body structures

• an unchanging local environment

• the natural variations already present within the population of organisms

What does Darwin's theory of evolution suggest?

• species change over time
• extinct species are not related to living species
• different species can interbreed
• animals that look alike are most closely related

This scientist came up with the idea of natural selection. Considered the Father of Evolution

• Jean Baptiste Lamarck

• Gregor Mendel

• Charles Darwin

• Thomas Malthus
