Suspect 3
3.

4.

A speciation in which new species evolve from a single ancestral species while inhabiting the SAME geographic region.

a)

Sympatric speciation

b)

Allopatric speciation

c)

Complex speciation

d)

Divergent speciation

5.

What is genetic drift?

a)

the changes in allele frequencies (genes) ,in a population, happening due to random events/circumstances.

b)

It is an example of primary succession

c)

Genetic drift are different organisms in a population due to inherited traits from their parents

d)

It is part of symbiotic relationships such as mutualism, commensalism, parasitism

6.
The pictures below show the forelimbs of six different organisms. 
Using this picture, which statement is correct?
a)
These forelimbs have similar bones, indicating that the organisms all have the same diet.
b)
These forelimbs have similar bones, indicating that the organisms all live in the same habitat.
c)
These forelimbs have similar bones, indicating that the organisms share a common ancestor.
d)
These forelimbs have similar bones, indicating that the organisms' evolution happened quickly.
7.
The hind leg bones in a whale are examples of
a)
homologous structures
b)
analogous structures
c)
fossils
d)
vestigal structures
8.

differences between species is a result

a)

use and disuse of body parts

b)

variation and natural selection

9.
Darwin referred to this as survival of the fittest. Over time, it results in changes in the inherited characteristics of a population because organisms with adaptations that make them fit for their environment will survive and reproduce better than those without favorable traits.
a)
Natural Selection
b)
Genetic Variation
c)
Survival of the Fittest
10.
A  population of cockroaches was sprayed with an insecticide.  Some cockroaches survived and produced a population of cockroaches that was resistant to this spray.  What can BEST be inferred from this example?
a)
species will adapt no matter what the environment
b)
environment has no effect on the survival of an organism
c)
Individuals with favorable variations survive and reproduce
d)
Insecticides cause mutations that are passed on to the next generation
11.

Which of the following best describes how natural selection results in insects that are pesticide resistant?

a)

When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, a few insects survive. These insects happen to have a random mutation that makes them resistant to the pesticide. These insects survive and reproduce, eventually resulting in pesticide-resistant population.

b)

When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, the insects respond by mutating their DNA, making them resistant to the pesticide. Therefore, a pesticide resistant population evolves.

c)

When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, it causes mutations in the insect DNA. Some of these mutations make the insects pesticide-resistant. These insects now form a pesticide-resistant population.

d)

When a pesticide is sprayed on a crop, it kills the insects, which allows a new species to migrate into the habitat. Some of these species are pesticide resistant, thus a new population of pesticide resistant insects appears.

12.

If you take antibiotics only the resistant bacteria survive and the non-resistant bacteria die. This is an example of...

a)

Resistance

b)

Survival of the fittest

c)

How antibiotics work

13.

Antibiotic resistant bacteria can

a)

Survive

b)

Reproduce

c)

Pass on the resistant gene to their offspring

d)

All of the above

14.
Which of the following is true about antibiotic-resistant bacteria?
a)
Because there are antibiotics in the environment, they become immune
b)
They learn to fight the antibiotic
c)
A mutation results in antibiotic resistance
d)
All of these
15.
Mutations are important because they bring about
a)
death of the organism in which they develop
b)
genetic variation needed for a population to evolve
c)
benefits for the individual, not for the population
d)
Hardey-Weinberg equilibrium within a population
16.

In which ways can genetic engineering can improve crops

a)

Make them pest or drought resistant

b)

Make them more nutritious

c)

Make them larger

d)

All answers are correct

17.

Scientists believe that frogs and butterflies evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years. Which of the following offers the most direct support for this theory?

a)

the RNA of an extinct frog

b)

the fossil record

c)

linnean classification

d)

DNA from a living butterfly
