Identify the statement that is INCORRECT in regards to Mitosis & Meiosis
Mitosis creates diploid cells and Meiosis creates haploid cells
Mitosis cells are somatic and Meiosis are gametic
Mitosis cells are 1n or n and Meiosis are 2n
Mitosis cells are identical and Meiosis cells are non identical
Identify the correct statement regarding EVOLUTION
Acquiring traits within an organism's lifetime and not passing it onto offspring.
Species become less diverse and remain the same overtime.
Organisms that exist today due to artificial selection.
Change in traits of organisms overtime that resulted in the species that exist today.
A mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance refers to
Common Ancestor
Artificial Selection
Genetic Drift
Fitness
When two or more species are descendants of a species with similar DNA or traits refers to "c..... a......." (2 words 6 & 8 letters)
(a)
The creation of new species is referred to as "s (a) " (10 letters)
Charles Darwin called the "ability" of an organism to survive and reproduce
Diversity
Fitness
Adaptation
Evolution
Which of the following is a result of natural selection
Live stock free of diseases or health issues.
Horses bred for their coat color and speed.
Higher frequency of darker colored turtles due to a change in their environment.
All are correct
Two species of frogs live in the same location. However, they do not interbreed with each other. Which of the barriers could not be the reason
Behavioral isolation
Temporal isolation
Geographical isolation
All are correct
Refer to the DNA sequence and phylogenetic tree. Based on the DATA provided identify the statement that is correct
Mutations could have increased variations overtime that resulted in the four species of canids.
All four species of canids would show similarities in DNA with a common ancestor.
Geographical isolation could be a factor in the branching pattern seen in the phylogenetic tree.
All are correct
Peppered Moths were primarily light colored prior to the start of the Industrial Revolution in the 1700's. The smoke stacks from the factories caused the trees to be darker in color resulting in darker colored moths to be more frequent overtime. Identify the statement(s) that Charles Darwin would use to support this type of evolution.
A. Variations occur by chance and favorable variations can be passed to their offspring.
B. Natural selection is based on an organism’s fitness.
Both A and B are correct
None are correct
Refer to the graph below. Identify the statement(s) that is CORRECT.
Due to a change in the environment inverse frequencies occurred twice near B & D.
Based on trends in the graph the natural environment seems to lean more towards the allele frequency of lighter colored genes.
Both populations at some point between 1800 and 2000 nearly dropped to devastating levels.
All are correct
Refer to the image below. Identify the correct species that represents HOMOLOGOUS structures:
Insect and Bird
Insect and Bat
Bird and Bat
They all represent HOMOLOGOUS structures
Refer to the image below. Identify the correct species that represents ANALOGOUS structures:
A. Insect and Bird
B. Bird and Bat
Both A and B
They all are ANALOGOUS structures
A VESTIGIAL structure
is evident in the pelvic bone of a whale that suggests common ancestry of a land species.
can be seen in the eyes of blind animals that live deep depths of the oceans where natural sunlight cannot reach.
example in humans include tail bone and appendix, two structures that aren't necessarily needed.
All are correct
Identify the correct EVIDENCE for EVOLUTION that could prove modern day elephants have common ancestry with prehistoric mammoths.
A. Biochemical similarities
B. Fossils & similar bone structures
Both A and B
None are correct
Identify the statement that best represents RELATIVE dating
Carbon-14 or other method of dating fossils that gives an approximate age in years.
Using DNA (or proteins) to measure how long it has been since related species diverged from a common ancestor.
Preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past; can be things like bones or footprints.
Method of dating fossils by their location in rock layers; determines which fossils are older or younger but not their age in years.
Refer to the phylogenetic tree below. Identify the statement that is CORRECT
Snakes more closely relate to turtles than geckos.
Birds are closer to crocodiles than non-avian dinosaurs.
Turtles are less related to crocodiles than to geckos.
Turtles and birds are more related than Turtles to geckos.
Identify the CORRECT statement in regards to organization of species in the Linnaean Classification System
Species scientific names include the Family and genus.
Two species found in the same Phylum would definitely be in the same Class.
A plant would NOT be categorized together with an animal in the same Domain.
If two species share the same Genus they could also be grouped in the same Family.
