Which of the following is a result of natural selection

Higher frequency of darker colored turtles due to a change in their environment.

Live stock free of diseases or health issues.

Horses bred for their coat color and speed.

Refer to the DNA sequence and phylogenetic tree. Based on the DATA provided identify the statement that is correct

Mutations could have increased variations overtime that resulted in the four species of canids.

All four species of canids would show similarities in DNA with a common ancestor.

Geographical isolation could be a factor in the branching pattern seen in the phylogenetic tree.

Peppered Moths were primarily light colored prior to the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700's. The smoke stacks from the factories caused the trees to be darker in color resulting in darker colored moths to be more frequent overtime. Identify the statement(s) that Charles Darwin would use to support this type of evolution.

A. Variations occur by chance and favorable variations can be passed to their offspring.

B. Natural selection is based on an organism’s fitness.

Refer to the graph below. Identify the statement(s) that is CORRECT.

Due to a change in the environment inverse frequencies occurred twice near B & D.

Based on trends in the graph the natural environment seems to lean more towards the allele frequency of lighter colored genes.

Both populations at some point between 1800 and 2000 nearly dropped to devastating levels.

Refer to the image below. Identify the correct species that represents HOMOLOGOUS structures :

They all represent HOMOLOGOUS structures

Refer to the image below. Identify the correct species that represents ANALOGOUS structures :

They all are ANALOGOUS structures

A VESTIGIAL structure

is evident in the pelvic bone of a whale that suggests common ancestry of a land species.

can be seen in the eyes of blind animals that live deep depths of the oceans where natural sunlight cannot reach.

example in humans include tail bone and appendix, two structures that aren't necessarily needed.

Identify the correct EVIDENCE for EVOLUTION that could prove modern day elephants have common ancestry with prehistoric mammoths.

B. Fossils & similar bone structures

Identify the statement that best represents RELATIVE dating

Method of dating fossils by their location in rock layers; determines which fossils are older or younger but not their age in years.

Carbon-14 or other method of dating fossils that gives an approximate age in years.

Using DNA (or proteins) to measure how long it has been since related species diverged from a common ancestor.

Preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past; can be things like bones or footprints.

Refer to the phylogenetic tree below. Identify the statement that is CORRECT

Turtles and birds are more related than Turtles to geckos.

Snakes more closely relate to turtles than geckos.

Birds are closer to crocodiles than non-avian dinosaurs.

Turtles are less related to crocodiles than to geckos.

Identify the CORRECT statement in regards to organization of species in the Linnaean Classification System

If two species share the same Genus they could also be grouped in the same Family.

Species scientific names include the Family and genus.

Two species found in the same Phylum would definitely be in the same Class.

A plant would NOT be categorized together with an animal in the same Domain.
