ET Unit 6 Review Day 1 3/11/24

Which of the following is an example of artificial selection?

• Gorillas are in the wild and have a baby gorilla.

• A group of ants in an ant pile are exterminated by an exterminator.

• A black speckled rabbit is a new favorite among children, a white and black rabbit are picked to make black and white baby bunnies.

• Wolves in the wild have pups.

White tigers are becoming extinct, to overcome this a male and female white tiger are paired together in captivity to help their population continue to grow. This is an example of:

• Natural Selection

• Gene Flow

• Artificial Selection

• Genetic Drift

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.

The opossum and kangaroo both incubate their young in a pouch. This provides evidence that they---

• are descended from a common ancestor
• Have very similar skeletal structures
• belong to the same species
• must range great distances to eat

The similarities of the bones in the diagram provide evidence that---

• The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment
• The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor
• The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases
• All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs
