A change in a species over time is
Adaptation
Evolution
Diversity
Morphology
The variety of species present in an area
Population
Diversity
Biogeography
Adaptation
Survival of the fittest. The organism that is best able to survive and passes on its genes in the gene pool.
Natural Selection
Evolution
Adaptation
Law of Superposition
organs or skeletal elements of animals and organisms that, by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor. These structures do not have to look exactly the same, or have the same function.
Analogous Structure
Homologous Structure
Vestigial Structure
Molecular Homology
A group of one type of species (all blue crabs, all white tail deer, all yellow corn)
species
population
community
ecosystem
The form and structure of an organisms traits, its characteristics.
Molecular Homology
Embryology
Morphology
Phylogony
Similar embryological development in different organisms indicating a common ancestry or evolutionary origin.
Molecular Homology
Morphology
Adaptation
Embryology
Preserved remains or evidence of ancient organism.
Vestigial Structure
Fossils
Homologous structure
Analogous structure
A characteristic of different organisms that have similar function but not necessarily the same structure and did not come from the same common ancestor.
Homologous Structure
Analogous Structure
Vestigial Structure
Fossils
States that layers of sediment and rock are older at the bottom levels of younger as they move up to the surface.
Fossils
Law of Superposition
Vestigial Structure
Adaptation
Similar DNA sequence between different organisms indicating a common ancestry or evolutionary origin.
morphology
Embryology
Molecular Homology
Adaptation
Father of Evolution, wrote origins of species and studied organisms from Galapagos to support his proposal that natural selection occurs.
Hooke
Darwin
Lamarck
Markiewicz
Any change in the traits of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce more effectively in its environment.
Natural Selection
Population
Adaptation
Diversity
Serves no useful purpose in the modern organism but did in its ancestral form.
Analogous Structure
Vestigial Structure
Homologous Structure
Adaptation

Which of the following pairs of organisms from the table shown to the left would be the most closely related?
Desert iguana and Box turtle
Chuckwalla and Bush anole
Box turtle and Bush anole
Desert iguana and Chuchwalla
The gray squirrel, Eastern fox squirrel, and red squirrel are all different species of squirrels. Why is having a scientific name for each species of an organism important?
To prevent existing named organisms from having their names changed as they become extinct.
To keep the classification system from being altered as new organisms are discovered.
To allow organisms to be placed in many classification levels at the same time.
To standardize the naming and organization fo organisms to avoid confusion.
Which organism is most closely related to the Hippopotamus?
Pig
Javelina
Cows
Humans
Based on the Dichotomous Key which two types of candy have a wrapper that is transparent?
Mintus stripus & Tuttus rollus
Mintus stripus & Ursa gummus
Mintus stripus & Ranuculus scotchus
Stripus scothuc & Mintus gummus
What is genetic drift?
the changes in allele frequencies (genes) ,in a population, happening due to random events/circumstances.
It is an example of primary succession
Genetic drift are different organisms in a population due to inherited traits from their parents
It is part of symbiotic relationships such as mutualism, commensalism, parasitism
Select the best answer based on the image.
Gene Flow
Genetic Drift
Genetic diversity is increased through:
genetic drift
gene flow
This image is an example of:
genetic drift
gene flow
Why is Taxonomy important?
To identify and classify organisms
To find evolutionary relationships
To identify organisms and show evolutionary relationships
None of these
Looking at the scientific names of these paramecia, which taxa do they NOT (a common Protista) have in common?
Kingdom
Class
Genus
Species
Which two organisms are least closely related and why?
Human and Monkey
Human and Shark
Human and Horse
Human and Chicken
What is Darwin's theory in regards to evolution?
It is a fast process that occurs in a brief period of time
He believes we are related to monkeys.
He theorized that evolution occurs slowly over long periods of time due to Natural Selection
I dont believe this evolution stuff!
