Evolution and Classification of Organism

Imagine you're on a thrilling adventure with Sarah, Kamron, and Leo, exploring the mysteries of the natural world. During your journey, you stumble upon a dusty old book that reveals the groundbreaking theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Who is the brilliant mind behind this revolutionary idea?

• Gregor Mendel

• Charles Darwin

• James Hutton

• Albert Einstein

During a lively classroom debate, Leo excitedly shared about a scientist who first theorized that organisms change over time. However, he was a bit off about HOW they change, believing in the inheritance of acquired traits. Who was this intriguing thinker?

• Charles Darwin

• Gregor Mendel

• Alfred Russel Wallace

• Jean-Baptiste Lamarck

Imagine you're a detective like Carry or Leo, and you discover two species with strikingly similar DNA. What intriguing clue does this give you about their past?

• These are the same animal.

• These animals have a common ancestor.

• These animals are not likely related.

• These animals are likely becoming one species.

Imagine you're a horse breeder like Cassey, aiming to create the ultimate racehorse with lightning speed and a shiny coat. What type of evolutionary evidence are you using in this quest for the perfect horse?

• Artificial selection

• Embryology

• Fossils

• Biochemical molecules

Imagine you're on a thrilling adventure with Carry, Sarah, and Leo in the wild jungle! What is natural selection?

• The process by which organisms intentionally select their offspring's traits.

• The process by which organisms randomly produce offspring.

• The process by which organisms worse adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

• The process by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.

Imagine you're a detective like Abigail, trying to solve the mystery of life! What is evolution?

• The process of change in only human life over generations

• The process of change in all forms of life over a single generation

• The process of change in non-living things over generations

• The process of change in all forms of life over generations

Imagine you're on a thrilling adventure with Sarah, Kamron, and Leo in the wild jungle! What is the main factor that would influence their survival through natural selection?

• Mutation

• Environment

• Genetic drift

• Random chance

Kamron and Sarah are exploring the mysteries of evolution. They stumble upon a curious term: What exactly is a vestigial structure?

• A structure that has origins in a common ancestor, but has evolved to perform the same functions

• A structure that has origins in a common ancestor, but has evolved to perform different functions

• A structure that makes an organism better suited to a habitat

• A structure that has lost its function but is still part of the organism

Imagine you're a detective like Sarah, trying to solve the mystery of life! What do mutations change in the grand blueprint of living organisms?

• DNA

• tRNA

• genotype

• phenotype

Kamron and Sarah are having a fun debate about their favorite dog breeds. Kamron loves Chihuahuas and claims they are a perfect example of....
