The theory that said that life could emerge from decaying organic matter is the:

Panspermia
Primordial soup theory
Creationism
The theory that postulated that all species of living things were creations of God is the:
Spontaneous generation
Panspermia
Primordial soup theory
Creationism
The theory that said that all species have been exposed to major disasters throughout the history of the Earth, many species became extinct because of them is the:
Spontaneous generation
Catastrophism
Primordial soup theory
Creationism
Some times, fossil records are incomplete because:
Not all species became fossils
They may not have been preserved properly
They may not have been discovered yet
They may look ugly
Fossils that share features of two large groups of living things are known as:
Transitionary fossils
Index fossils
Living fossils
Binary fossils
The evidence for evolution in which different organs of various species are analysed comparatively is:
Paleontological
Embryological
Biogeographical
Anatomical
Organs that have the same structure, but a different shape and function are:
Vestigial
Homologous
Analogous
Organs that have a different structure, but a similar shape and function are:
Vestigial
Homologous
Analogous
Organs that are present but not used are:
Vestigial
Homologous
Analogous
The evidence for evolution in which aimilar characteristics are found in species living far appart but in similar environmental conditions is:
Paleontological
Embryological
Biogeographical
Anatomical
The evidence for evolution in which differences between species can be examined on a molecular level (proteins, nucleic acids, DNA) is:
Paleontological
Biochemical
Biogeographical
Anatomical
The evidence for evolution that says that when embryos of different species are similar, there is an ebvolutionary relationship between them, is:
Embryological
Biochemical
Biogeographical
Anatomical
The interaction between two species in which both obtain mutual benefit is:
Mutualism
Parasitism
Mimesis
Domestication
The ability that certain species possess to resemble others, or their own environment, in order to ensure their survival is:
Mutualism
Parasitism
Mimesis
Domestication
The first evolutionary theory was proposed in 1809 by:
Haeckel
Lamarck
Darwin
Cuvier
Lamarck's theory was based on:
Natural selection
Inheritance of acquired characteristics
Gradualism
Survival of the fittest
Natural selection is based on:
Struggle for existance
Inheritance of acquired characteristics
Survival of the fittest
Use and disuse
The theory that states that the vast majority of mutations are neither favourable nor unfavourable, so natural selection does not influence them, is:
Neodarwinism
Darwinism
Neutralism
Lamarckism
The theory that states that some species undergo a process of change responding to variations in the environmental conditions that trigger a phenomenon of rapid diversification, is:
Neutralism
Darwinism
Punctuated equilibrium theory
Lamarckism
The theory that proposes that eukaryotic cells originated from a serial process of symbiosis is:
Neutralism
Darwinism
Punctuated equilibrium theory
Serial endosymbiosis theory
When some individuals are isolated by chance from the larger population and can start a new population, that is called:
Natural selection
Genetic drift
Gene flow
The genetic isolation mechanism in which due to anatomical differences or to a lack of synchronization in fertile periods, mating is not possible, is:
Geographical barriers
Sexual barriers
Physiological barriers
Gamete barriers
The genetic isolation mechanism in which incompatibilities in the functioning of gametes prevent fertilization, although individuals can mate, is:
Geographical barriers
Sexual barriers
Physiological barriers
Gamete barriers
The genetic isolation mechanism in which the appearance of new behaviours in other individuals produce rejection of others, is:
Geographical barriers
Sexual barriers
Physiological barriers
Ethological barriers
The transformations that lead to the appearance of large groups of organisms is known as:
Microevolution
Macroevolution
Natural selection
Genetic drift
The study of the evolutionary relationships living things have is called:
Evolutiony
Phylogeny
Relationary
Mutualismy
