Quiz 1.3 UCSP

A biology teacher discusses how giraffes with longer necks could reach taller trees for food, allowing them to survive and reproduce. This best demonstrates:

• Inheritance
• Adaptation
• Mutation
• Survival of the fittest

In 2019, Dr. Armand S. Mijares and his team discovered fossil remains of a previously unknown human species in Callao Cave, Cagayan Valley. These small-bodied hominins were named:

• Homo luzonensis
• Homo habilis
• Tabon Man
• Homo erectus

During a lesson, students learn that Charles Darwin spent time in the Galápagos Islands, where he studied finches with different beak shapes. His observations led to the development of:

• The gene theory
• The fossil record
• The law of gravity
• The theory of evolution

A student notices that siblings inherit physical features from their parents, like eye color or hair type. This shows the principle of:

• Inheritance
• Adaptation
• Variation
• Mutation

In a museum display, early stone tools are shown beside skeletal remains with slightly larger brains than apes and is 1/2 of the brain size of modern man. These tools are attributed to:

• Homo sapiens
• Cro-Magnon
• Homo habilis
• Homo erectus

A tour guide explains that this early hominid is known as the “upright man” because it walked fully erect and was the first to use fire.

• Homo erectus
• Homo habilis
• Homo sapiens
• Australopithecus

A student asks why early humans developed larger brains over time. The teacher explains that this was likely due to their need to:

• Hunt larger animals using strength
• Adapt to warmer climates through migration
• Solve complex problems and use advanced tools
• Develop taller bodies for survival in open plains

On a science show, a fossil is shown with both ape-like and human-like traits. It’s believed to be one of the earliest bipedal hominids.

• Homo habilis
• Cro-Magnon
• Homo erectus
• Australopithecus

Researchers found a skull in the Tabon Cave of Palawan. It belonged to one of the earliest human fossils discovered in the Philippines.

• Homo luzonensis
• Homo habilis
• Cro-Magnon
• Tabon Man

A social studies teacher explains that this era was marked by hunting, gathering, and the use of crude stone tools.

• Metal Age
• Iron Age
• Neolithic
• Paleolithic
