Map Biology Review

When multiple transitional fossils are found in many rock layers, they provide evidence of...

• seasonal variation in the diet of the species

• gradual change of a species over time

• DNA functioning as the genetic material of organisms

• an unchanging environment

The aye-aye lemur is mammal that feeds mostly on insect larvae that live inside trees. When it hears a difference in the echo, it tear open the bark with its teeth until the insect tunnel is exposed. It uses its specialized finger to reach the insect larvae and remove it. Which selective pressure most likely resulted in the the aye-aye lemur's special adaptation?

• Limited availability of water

• Competing for mates

• Large numbers of natural predators

• Food sources that are hard to find

Which statement best explains how the cell cycle is important to the life cycle of the frog?

• It enables frogs to produce tadpoles that are clones.

• It allows frogs to grow, develop, and reproduce.

• It prevents overproduction of frog offspring.

• It ensures the best adapted frogs survive and pass on traits to offspring.
