Which of the following best describes evolution?

A quick emergence of new species

Passing of traits from parent to offspring

Darwin noticed that finches on different islands had uniquely shaped beaks. Which of the following best describes why he felt this had occurred?

The finches had adapted to the different food sources in their habitats, leading to a shift in the gene frequencies

The finches were dying off rapidly, creating a wide variety in characteristics

The finches were competing against each other, creating shifts in the gene frequencies

The finches were impacted by different diseases in their different environments

Which of the following is most closely linked to Charles Darwin's concept of natural selection?

Predator-prey relationships strongly influence change among organisms

Competition strongly influences change among organisms

Which best explains how mutations are important for biological evolution?

Mutations can allow for beneficial adaptations to develop

Mutations can wipe out entire species

Mutations can allow a species to evolve rapidly into many different species

Mutations are harmful to organisms that may harm the existence of other organisms.

The Law of Superposition states that

Younger rock layers are found above older rock layers, therefore fossils found in shallower rock are most likely younger than those found below them

Older rock layers are found above younger rock layers, therefore fossils found in shallower rock are most likely younger than those found below them

Older rock layers are found above younger rock layers, therefore fossils found in shallower rock are most likely older than those found below them

Younger rock layers are found above older rock layers, therefore fossils found in shallower rock are most likely older than those found below them

Which of the following best describes an adaptation?

A beneficial trait that allows an organism to be better suited for survival

A tight bundle of genetic material in the nucleus of cells

A segment of DNA that codes for a trait

A harmful trait that hurts an organism's chance for survival

Embryology is the study of developing organisms. Which of the following best describes how embryology relates to evolution?

Embryology has proven that organisms of different species do not share developmental similarities

All living organisms share the exact same characteristics while developing

Embryology allows scientists to compare the anatomical similarities of developing organisms of different species

Embryology does not provide evidence for evolution

The main goal of scientists when developing classification systems is to

Separate related species to spread their genes

Speed up the process of evolution

Examine relationships between different organisms

Which are the best examples of homologous structures?

A whale's flipper and a bat's wing

Wisdom teeth and whale's hipbones

An insect's wing and a bat's wing
