Evolution Quiz - from Amoeba Sisters Evolution Video

The change in an individual's traits over its lifespan

The change in a population's inherited traits over generations

The change in an organism's physical appearance over time

The change in an ecosystem's biodiversity

Genetic drift

Adaptation

Natural selection

Gene flow

They reveal the environmental adaptations of organisms

They indicate the same function in different organisms

They show similarities due to shared common ancestry

They demonstrate convergent evolution

A structure that has lost all or most of its function but is inherited from an ancestor

A structure that is fully functional and essential for an organism's survival

A structure that is unique to a particular species

A structure that has evolved independently in different organisms

The current biodiversity of an ecosystem

The genetic makeup of ancient organisms

The age of the Earth

How characteristics might have changed in a population over time

The study of the genetic makeup of different populations

The study of the impact of climate change on biodiversity

The study of the distribution of organisms on Earth and how it is influenced by geological processes

The study of the interactions between different species in an ecosystem

Comparing different theories of evolution

Exploring the history of evolution

Defining biological evolution and its mechanisms

Discussing the future of evolution

It causes random changes in the genetic makeup of a population

It introduces new genes into a population, impacting its genetic makeup

It leads to the loss of genetic variation in a population

It results in the selection of specific traits in a population

It reveals the environmental adaptations of organisms

It demonstrates the convergent evolution of different species

It supports the idea of shared common ancestry among organisms

It explains the genetic mutations that occur during development

Because it results in the creation of new species

Because it leads to the extinction of existing species

Because it causes a decrease in genetic variation within populations

Because populations of organisms continue to change over generations
