Who came up with the idea of inheritance of acquired chracteristics

Who came up with the theory of natural selection

Which of the following is used to describe how subsequent generations differ from prevous generations?

Which of the following is used to describe differential reproductive success based on inherited characteristics?

Which of the following is used to describe how an organisms changes throughout their lifetime to adapt to their environment and these changes are passed on to their offspring?

Who came up with the idea that changes in the earth's crust during geological history have resulted from the action of continuous and uniform processes.

Darwin was aboard which of the following ships when taking notes for his theory of natural selection?

What famous islands did Darwin travel to and observe organisms?

Which of the following is the process where organisms that are better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring?

Natural selection is based on which of the following principles

Survival of the fittest goes with the evolutionary theory of natural selection because it states that organisms best adjusted to their environment are the most successful in surviving and reproducing.

What organism did Darwin study?

In Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species, he made observations of what he saw. Which of the following is NOT a finding of Darwin's?

Natural selection ONLY takes place if there are variations in the population. Variation exists in a population because of which of the following?

________ are the ultimate source of new alleles in any population.

________ a heritable trait that aids in the survival and reproduction of an organism

If an organism has an adaptation it will always be an advatage for that organism even if its environment changes.

The theory of evolution by natural selection says that every species tends to produce more individuals that can survive to maturity is known as

The theory of evolution by natural selection says that some individuals survive longer and reproduce more than others do is known as

The theory of evolution by natural selection says that traits of individuals that survive and reproduce will become more common in the population is known as

The theory of evolution by natural selection says that the individuals of a population have many characteristics that differ is known as

The predominant way of thinking before ideas of natural selection and genetics were discovered is known as

After the ideas of natural selection and genetics were discovered and connected to explain how evolutionary pressures can affect the gentic makeup of a population it is known as

When new and distinct species are formed through the course of evolution it is known as

Which type of evolution studies gradual changes in a population over generations?

Which type of evolution studies processes that give rise to speciation events and taxonomic groups with divergent characteristics?

Population genetics is a field of biology that studies changes and relationships in the alleles in a population.

______________ uses frequencies of alleles in a population's gene pool to determine if evolution is occurring.

A population that is not experiencing the mechanisms of evolution and has stable allele frequencies over time _____ in equilibrium.

A population that is experiencing the mechanisms of evolution and changes in allele frequencies over time _____ in equilibrium.

Which of the following are mechanisms of evolution?

This is which type of mechanism of evolution?

Changes to the gene sequence are which type of mechanism of evolution?

If a mutation is bad it is called

If a mutation is good it is called

If a mutation has no effect it is called

Which mechanism of evolution occurs due to random/chance events that affect the allele frequency of a population?

Large populations are more susceptible to genetic drift

This is a type of genetic drift where a chance event (hurricane) reduces the population and therefore the genetic variability

This is a type of genetic drift where there is a loss of genetic variation in a new colony that is formed from a very small number of individuals

Which mechanism of evolution occurs when an individual leaves one population and joins another changing the allele frquencies in the gene pool of both populations

Which mechanism of evolution occurs becuase of male-male competition or female selection and is the ability of an individual to attract mates and reproduce?

Which type of speciation happens becuase of geographic separtion or barrier that arises?

Which type of speciation happens amoung species of an original population in the same geographic location?

What term describes when multiple species with their own unique characteristics evolve from one original species?

Which of the following can be used as evidence for evolution?

___________ a diagram that depicts the lines of evolutionary descent of different species, organisms, etc. from a common ancestor.

Which pattern of evolution takes place when two species share a common ancestor and evolve in different directions?

Which pattern of evolution occurs when similar structures arise in distantly related species independently?

___________ structures have a similar function but a different structure.

___________ structures have a similar structure but a different function.

___________ structures are seen in species byt they no longer have a purpose.

Comparative genetics is the branch of biology that compares and contrasts embryonic development of different species.

Which of the following are examples of how embryology can be used to support evolution?

Which of the following can be used as evidence for evolution when analyzing petrified remains/impressions of prehistoric organisms

Which of the following can be used as evidence for evolution when observing the geographic distribution of organisms in relation to the movement of tectonic plates over time?

Which of the following can be used as evidence for evolution when comparing the genetic code among organisms?

Evolution is just a theory so it does not have much support in the scientific community.

When studying evolution, individuals evolve causing changes at the population level.

Evolution does not try to explain the origin of life

One misconception about evolution is that organisms evolve on purpose.

Evolution is taught because it is testable. No other idea about diversification of organisms explains what is openly observable on Earth with testable and falsifiable results.

The Wallace's continued Darwin's work studying the Galapagos finches and found that the predominant beak size/shape varied year after year depending on the food source available.
