humans and chimpanzee share a common ancestor
the human species has stopped evolving
chimpanzees evolved from humans
The first known life arose around
3.5 billion years ago
4.6 billion years ago
2 million years ago
100,000 years ago
A calcareous mound built up of layers of lime-secreting cyanobacteria and trapped sediment, found in Precambrian rocks as the earliest known fossils, and still being formed in lagoons in Australasia.
amino acids
heidelbergensis
stromatolites
trilobites
Among the pieces of evidence that all life on Earth shares common ancestry is the fact that- check all that apply
all living organisms contain DNA
all living things are made of many cells
Embryology- embryos of many organisms look similar
all cells contain a nucleus
The snake has a pelvic bone... This is an example of a
Embryological structure
Homologous structure
Vestigial structure
Biochemical structure
Natural selection always leads to an increase in a species’
range
geographic isolation
gene pool
fitness
Some argue that evolution is not true, because it is "just a theory". How might you respond to that? (Pick the best statement).
They are correct because a theory is a lot like a hypothesis. More research needs to be done in order to add validity to the statement
They are incorrect because a theory is a collection of facts that scientists have reviewed and acknowledged as true through studies, observations and peer reviews
They are correct, because it is really just a hunch or idea.
They are incorrect because a theory is a proven fact and can never be unproven.
Charles Darwin explored the world on the
SS Beagle
SS Golden Doodle
SS Titanic
SS Explorer
Charles Darwin traveled to all of the following places except
Alaska
Brazil
Ecuador
Australia
What is the study of the geographical distribution of organisms, provides information about how and when species may have evolved.
Embryology
Fossilology
Evolution
Biogeography
Scientists can use ___________________, DNA and the genetic code to reflect the shared ancestry of life.
molecular evidence
vestigial evidence
embryology
biogeography
One example of direct evidence of evolution is
studying the fossils and how they changed over time
observing how beak size in finches change over a season
looking at embryological evidence
studying the anatomy of similar organisms
a branching diagram showing the cladistic relationship between a number of species is called a
flow chart
cladogram
timeline
phylogram
Which two organisms are most closely related?
a afarensis and h sapiens
h neantherthalensis and h sapiens
h erectus and chimpanzee
none of them are related
Who is the father of evolution?
James Watson
Kurt Cobain
James Watson
Charles Darwin
The differences within a species is called
mutation
variation
biodiversity
natural selection
Evidence for evolution all leads to the fact that all living organisms
share a common ancestor
evolved from chimpanzees
were once plants
lived in the water
__________ is a trait or an organ that appears similar in two unrelated organisms
analogous structure
homologous structure
vestigial structure
embryological structure
the inability of a species to breed successfully with related species due to geographical, behavioral, physiological, or genetic barriers or differences is called
genetic diversity
a species
natural selection
reproductive isolation
