What mechanism is behind selective breeding?
Artificially selecting desired phenotypes
Breeding the fittest that will survive
Increasing the pool of alleles
Artificially selecting desired genotypes
Spontaneous generation is an example of?
Abiogenesis
Biogenesis
Which one of the following experiments gives evidence that the origin of life may come from abiogenesis?
Francisco Redi's meat in a jar experiment
Miller-Urey's early Earth experiment
Pasteur's swan-necked flask experiment
Darwin's voyage to the Galapagos Islands
Why did we do the Mystery Tube experiment to start this unit?
Lamarck's theory of evolution had which three principles?
Need, Use and Disuse, Adapted Characteristics
Need, Use it or lose it, Adapted Characteristics
Need, Use and Disuse, Acquired Characteristics
Necessary, Use it or lose it, Acquired Characteristics
Reproduction is an example of?
Abiogenesis
Biogenesis
What does it mean when natural selection selects AGAINST a phenotype?
The allele for the phenotype is mutating.
The allele for that phenotype will become more frequent in the population.
The allele for the phenotype is evolving.
The allele for that phenotype will become less frequent in the population.
If the fish in the Qu'Appelle River are geographically isolated from the fish in the North Saskatchewan River, then they are also...
Reproductively isolated
Behaviorally isolated
Facing a postzygotic barrier
Facing a prezygotic barrier
Natural selection and evolution mean the same thing.
True
False
What is behavioral isolation?
Two species together in a location but not recognizing each other as mates.
Two species isolated in different locations.
Two species together in a location but their breeding seasons are different.
Two species together in a location but they eat different foods.
Bats use echolocation (sound-based "seeing") to hunt their prey, moths. The moths have now evolved to hear the bat's "clicking" and fly away from it, so the successful bats are those that "click" at higher frequencies. Some moths have evolved even better hearing now. This is an example of:
Speciation
Behavioral isolation
Coevolution
Evolutionary arms race
One bone, two bones, lots-o-bones, digits! Who represents this jingle, what does this jingle mean, and why does it matter in this unit on Evolution?
An example of a postzygotic barrier is:
Fetus not developing
Sterile offspring
Geographic isolation
Behavioral isolation
There are nine characteristics of life we looked at in this unit. Name as many as you can now.
How fast does evolution by natural selection occur?
As fast as the fossil record says.
One trip to the Galapagos Islands.
As fast as gradualism says.
As fast as punctuated equilibrium says.
We don't know.
Biology can tell you when human life begins and ends.
True
False
In the Battle of the Beaks lab, all of the birds (students) live in the same habitat (classroom), but are still different species: Tweezer-beaks, Scissor-beaks, and Clothespin-beaks. What can we assume happened to the birds' ancestors?
Geographic isolation
Allopatric speciation
Sympatric speciation
Prezygotic barriers
A scientific theory is more than just a theory because...
More than one field of science supports it.
There is a ton of evidence behind it.
It makes sense with everything we have seen but it can still change.
All of these.
Adaptive radiation: what is it?
A species gaining lots of adaptations in a short amount of time.
A species making many hybrid species.
One species diversifying into many species.
It's what happened after Chernobyl.
Birds came from the same ancestor as dinosaurs. Meanwhile, bats are mammals. Both of these groups have wings. What are their wings an example of?
Homologous structures
Analogous structures
A sudden, widespread decrease in biodiversity is...
Natural selection
Mass extinction
Predation
Genetic drift
What does the "bio" in "biology" mean?
Life/living things
DNA
Science
Life and death
What does VIDA stand for?
Variation, Inheritance, Difference, Adaptation
Variation, Inherited Alleles, Differential survival and reproduction, Acquired Characteristics
Variation, Inheritance, Differential survival and reproduction, Acquired Characteristics
Variation, Inheritance, Differential survival and reproduction, Adaptation
