Genetic Drift
Natural selection
Driving forces for evolution include
Mutation and embryology
Genetic drift and gene flow
Natural selection and homologous structures
Natural selection and the fossil record
This image shows
Gene flow
Genetic Drift
Mutation
Population mechanics
The scientist who discovered natural selection was
Charles Dawin
Charles Rodriguez
Charles Barkley
Charles in Charge
Darwin's book that detailed the processes of Natural Selection was titled
Original Species
On the Origin of Species
How Species Evolve
Evolution of Species
Survival of the fittest always refers to physical things like strength and speed
True
False
Brown bugs living in green trees are more likely to be eaten by predators than green bugs. This is an example of
Mutation
Genetic Drift
Natural selection
Racial selection
Our definition of evolution is
Descent with mutation
Descended from monkies
Descent with modification
Descent with driving force
Which of the following is not an example of a population
All the people in my 2nd period Biology class
All the people who work at Archbishop Curley
All the plants in room 103 and 104
All of these are examples of populations
None of these are examples of populations
This driving force of evolution is caused by random changes in the genetic code.
Genetic Drift
Code Change
Mutations
Adaptions
A new, better adapted organism moves into a population, causing less well adapted organisms to go extinct. This is an example of
Natural Selection
Selection extinction
Index fossils
Genetic Drift
In a field there are three plants with different flowers: blue, red and white. You like the blue flowers best, and pick them all for your girl. This may cause
Gene flow
A bottleneck
Mutations
Natural selection
Studying the fossil record may give us insight into
How animals used to live
What defenses organisms used to protect themselves
How the environment looked long ago
All of these
Finding the shells of salt water living organisms on the sides of mountains can tell us
What sort of food the shelled animals ate
That the region those fossils are found in was once underwater
That sometimes coral goes extinct
That these shelled organisms migrated into the mountains
A certain type of extinct clam is a known index fossil. If we found new fossils in the same layer of rock, we would know
The new fossils are from about the same age as the index fossils
The index fossils were prey for the new fossils
The index fossils predators
Whales have lungs and breathe through blowholes much like a human nose. This is an example of
Homologous structures
Embryology
Natural selection
Alien gene splicing
Examining organisms either in eggs or in the womb is an example of
Infanticism
Eggology
Embryology
Homologous structures
Tooth marks on the bones or shell of a fossil might tell us
Whether the organism was warm or cold blooded
What climate the organisms lived in
Whether the organism was a predator or prey
Whether the organism was mutating
Many fish live in or near coral reefs that provide food and camouflage. If those reefs went extinct, the fish near them would likely
Migrate to a new environment
Individually adapt and change
Quickly adapt to use new camuflage
Also go extinct.
The fact that many mammals have the same bone groups in their arms and legs is an example of
Homologus structures
Embryology
Gene Flow
Mutations
