Their large and elaborate tail feathers make male peacocks more stand out to predators and hinder their ability to fly. Female peacocks prefer bright colored tails in mates. This is an example of?

• Genetic Drift

• Natural Selection

• Non-random mating

• Gene Flow

Which of the following is true of genetic drift?

• It is necessary in order for a population to be in equilibrium.

• It can increase genetic diversity, and it amplifies more in a large population.

• It can decrease genetic diversity, and it amplifies more in a small population.

• It allows large species to have more breeding opportunities.

Which of the following best illustrates natural selection?

• Traits that are favored are more likely to appear in the future generation, leading to an overall change in the population.

• Organisms learn to adapt, leading to an overall change in the population.

• Traits are acquired get passed down to the next generations, leading to an overall change in the population.

• Stop! My head hurts!

The diagram is an example of what?

• Homologous structures because they have a common ancestor.

• Analogous structures because they have a common environment.

• Vestigial structures because they are the leftover structures from ancestor.

• Embryology because they share similarities during development.

Out of all the evidence, which evidence would NOT show common ancestors AND which evidence is the MOST reliable evidence?

• Homologous would not show common ancestors, and analogous structures is the most reliable evidence.

• Vestigial would not show common ancestors, and analogous structures is the most reliable evidence.

• Analogous would not show common ancestors, and DNA/amino acid similarities is the most reliable evidence.

• Analogous would not show common ancestors, and fossil is the most reliable evidence.

In the ocean surrounding Antarctica, there are fish that survive the cold by using a molecule made of glycoproteins that circulates the blood and keeps it from freezing. Certain kinds of worms that live in the Arctic Ocean also make the same antifreeze proteins. This is an example of?

• Divergent evolution

• Coevolution

• Convergent evolution

• Adaptive Radiation

Based on the information shown in the graph, what form of selection is the snail population undergoing?

• Directional Selection

• Stabilizing Selection

• Disruptive Selection

• Artificial Selection

Organisms of the same species can no longer interbreed therefore creating two species. What is this?

• Gene pool

• Genetic drift

• Speciation

• Gene flow

In grassland, the weather is dry, windy, and easy to catch fire. Plants need to have__

• Broad leaves for photosynthesis.

• Waxy, needle-like leaves to shed snow and prevent water loss

• Flowers that open night to perform photosynthesis.

• Waxy coated layers on seeds, they can still grow during hot temperatures due to forest fire.
