Which of the following is NOT an example of natural selection?

The environment around Manchester, England, changed during the Industrial Revolution. How did this change affect peppered moths living in the area?

Natural selection favored moths with dark wings because predators could not see them on the soot-colored trees.

Natural selection favored moths with white wings that were easy for predators to see.

Natural selection favored moths with white wings because predators could not see them on the soot-colored trees.

Fossil A and C are the same age

Fossils A is older than fossil B

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

must range great distances to eat

A graph regarding the effect of agricultural bioengineering on insect pests is shown below How has natural selection affected species of insect pests?

A. Natural selection has rapidly increased the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

A. Natural selection has not affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

A. Natural selection has only affected the number of species that are resistant to pesticides

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

The organisms shown may have developed from a common ancestor

The organisms shown lived in the same natural envionrment

The organisms shown have the same genetic diseases

All vertebrate species have identical forelimbs

What are the 5 important parts of Natural Selection?

Over production, variation, competition, survival of the fittest, inheritance

Over production, variation, similar structures, common ancestor, survival of the fittest

Survival of the fittest, competition, variation, inheritance, complex organisms

Inheritance, complex organisms, fossils, survival of the fittest, variation

Why are advantageous or beneficial traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

Because those traits make them more likely to survive and reproduce.

Because those traits come from dominant alleles.

Because those traits come from recessive alleles.

Because those traits are acquired phenotypes.
