  5. 4 of 23: The Galapagos tortoises with short necks and legs lived in areas of low vegetation, while the tortoises with long necks and legs lived in areas with tall plants. This is an example of… What’s up?

  24. 23 of23: By looking at the DNA sequences below, would you say that the two species areclosely related or not closely related? What type of evidence is this?

  25. Exchange Your Answers

  26. 1 of 22: What is the term for a group of organisms that can reproduce and have fertile offspring? Species

  27. 2 of 22: As explained in the theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms with adaptations are more likely to survive and ______________. Reproduce

  28. 3 of 22: Darwin noticed that finches had different kinds of beaks in areas with different food sources. This would best explain what among individuals in a group of organisms? Variation

  29. 4 of 22: The Galapagos tortoises with short necks and legs lived in areas of low vegetation, while the tortoises with long necks and legs lived in areas with tall plants. This is an example of… What’s up? Adaptation

  34. 9 of 22) The top picture is showing what type of structures? What is a humanexample of this? a. Vestigial Structures b. Wisdom Teeth OR Appendix

  35. 10 of 22: These are examples of ____________ structures. Homologous

  36. 11 of 22: The wings of butterflies and birds are examples of ___________ structures. Analogous

  37. 12 of 23: Nature is the “selecting agent” in natural selection. Who/what is the selecting agent in ARTIFICIAL SELECTION? HUMANS

  38. 13 of 23: The “bottleneck effect” explains which of the 5 factors of evolution?. Genetic drift

  39. 14 of 22: There are two types of sexual selection. Label each picture below with the correct type. A. Intrasexual- between males B. Intersexual- males display for the females

  40. 15 of 22: What type of evolution is shown between these two closely related fox? Divergent (common ancestor, but adapted to different environments)

  41. 16 of 22: How could these two different species evolve similar characteristics? CONVERGENT (not closely related, but similar traits due to similar environment)

  42. 17 of 22: “evolutionary arms race” is an example of which pattern of evolution? COEVOLUTION

  43. 18 of 22: What are the differences between mass and background extinctions? Background- occur continuously, but at a very low rate Mass- more rare, but much more intense

  44. 19 of 22: What usually happens after a mass extinction? Adaptive radiation and punctuated equilibrium

  45. 20 of 23: A. Which type of fossil dating compares fossils and the layer of rock they were found in? B. Which type is most accurate? A. Relative (estimates by comparing placement of fossils) B. Radiometric (uses half-life of isotopes for a more accurate age)

  46. 21 of 23: The Miller-Urey experiment simulated Earth’s environment. What type of molecules were created as a result? AMINO ACIDS (or organic molecules
