1. Evolution is defined as? • Humans coming from apes • Dinosaurs living • The big-bang theory • Change over time
2. An example of a vestigial organ is: • An opposable thumb • An opposable tail • An appendix • Bipedalism
3. Evolution is: • Law and is the only truth to the origin of humans • Has no evidence • Is a theory that best explains how organisms are constantly changing • How we look like apes
4. Evidence that evolution exists can be explained by: • Fossils • The geologic fossil record (layers of rock) • Early organisms were small and simple and later organisms were larger and complex • All of the above
5. Homologous structures are: • Structures that do not exit any longer • Structures that make us stronger • Structures we no longer use • Structures in different species that have the same evolutionary origin
6. Darwin studied finches at which islands? • Galapagos Islands • Christmas Island • Easter Islands • New Guinea
7. Which of the following statement is true: • Only the strongest survive • Organisms produce more offspring that than can survive • Our closest human ancestor is the shark • None of the above
8. Natural selection states that: • We are all becoming apes • Over time, the offspring of parents with favorable characteristics will make up a greater portion of the population. • Organisms will never change • Over time, the offspring of parents with unfavorable characteristics will make up the greater portion of the population.
9. Darwin published a book on evolution called, • “Survival of the Fittest” • “My travels on the Beagle” • “On the Origin of Species” • “The Origin of Species at the Galapagos Islands”
10. Evolution occurs in • Males only • Populations • Individuals • Mutants only
11. Natural selection states: • Changes never occur • Females always choose the male • Individuals never change • Some variations give individuals a better chance for survival and reproduction
12. Before natural selection, people believed: • All life came from the ocean • Organisms were fixed and unchanging • Organisms changed every year • Nothing
According to this chart, which two animals are more closely related?
The human arm, bat wing, whale flipper are examples of_________ Homologous Structures Vestigial Structures Evolution Natural Selection
Nature selects those individuals who survive through their ability to adapt to their environment. Another name for this idea is… A. Comparative anatomy B. Geological Fossil Record C. Survival of the fittest D. Incomplete adaptation
