Applied Evolution

The process of two species changing genetically in response to long-term interaction with each other is

• artificial selection

• coevolution

• selective breeding

• resistance

An organism is resistant to a chemical if it

• has a gene that protects it from the chemical

• has been exposed to a small amount of the chemical over time

• was not in the area where the chemical was applied

• did not eat anything with the chemical on it

What islands did Darwin do most of his research on?

• Hawaiian Islands

• Malta Islands

• Galapagos Islands

• Indonesia Archipelagos

Why did Darwin finally publish his results?

• He wanted to go on another voyage and the only way to do that was to show he found something during his first one.

• He needed to make money and thought that his book would be a huge success.

• His daughter found his book and told him that he need to publish it.

• A friend of his, Alfred Wallace, sent him a document with similar findings. Also, Captain Fitzroy published his account of the voyage.

Who am I? I wrote Darwin about my theory of natural selection. He decided to publish his book before I could.

• John Hutton

• Charles Lyell

• Alfred Russel Wallace

• John Baptiste LaMarck

• Thomas Malthus
