These are the classification levels in order from broad to very specific: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
True
False
Archaea and Bacteria have organisms that contain eukaryotic cells.
True
False
Scientists continually change how living things are classified because they are constantly discovering new organisms.
True
False
Some organisms were placed in the same kingdom years ago but are now in separate kingdoms today. This is because some organisms may be more similar to each other than to other organisms.
True
False
What is speciation?
a way to classify new organisms
a species migrating to another area
the formation of a new species
the extinction of a species
Which theory states that eukaryotic cells would have evolved from prokaryotic cells?
endosymbiotic
speciation
natural selection
continental drift
Darwin discovered 14 different species of finches on the Galapagos Islands. Many of these species live on different islands. All of the species shared some characteristics with each other. They most likely all had a __________________.
cladogram
natural selection
ecosystem
common ancestor
According to the theory of evolution by natural selection, what organisms will most likely survive?
The ones that can fight the best.
The ones with variations best adapted to that environment.
The ones that can reproduce the fastest.
The ones that can move the fastest.
Which occurred first in the geologic history of our planet: photosynthesis or aerobic cellular respiration?
photosynthesis
aerobic cellular respiration
In the Peppered Moth Activity that you completed, the dark colored moths became more common during the Industrial Revolution. This was due to natural selection. The dark colored moths were best adapted to the new environment.
True
False
According to the image, all of these organisms would share a what?
parent
sibling
common ancestor
What do homologous structures (such as arm limbs) from various species provide evidence of?
natural selection
common ancestry
classification
nonfunctional structures
If genetic variation increases in a population, then their chances of survival decreases.
True
False
Plant fossils found on Africa and South America are very similar in appearance. How would this be possible?
They would have floated across the ocean.
They would have been blown over by a windstorm.
They would have been deposited there by animals swimming across the ocean.
