Which of the following items cannot be used as evidence of the process of evolution? • Fossil records • Learned behaviors • Embryological development • Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness http://www.mhhe.com/biosci/genbio/raven6b/graphics/raven06b/other/raven06b_21.pdf
Wind turbines, like the ones pictured here, are being used more often in New Mexico. The reason that they are being used so frequently is because wind farms _______________. • Create no energy and have no impact on the ecosystem • Create non-renewable energy and have a severe impact on ecosystems • Create renewable energy and have an acceptable level of impact on ecosystems • Create non-renewable energy but the impact on the ecosystems has not been investigated by scientists. http://www.emnrd.state.nm.us/ECMD/RenewableEnergy/wind.html

In natural selection, the individuals that survive in a population are the ones that are able to adapt to their environment. This ability to survive is because _______. • Lack of competition with other species • Choices made by plant and animal breeders • Possession of adaptations developed through use • Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness http://www.ndsu.edu/pubweb/~mcclean/plsc431/popgen/popgen5.htm http://evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article/evo_25 http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/globalchange1/current/lectures/selection/selection.html

If a substance was released into an ecosystem that resulted in the death of most of the bacteria and fungi that naturally exists in that ecosystem, what would the likely outcome be? • The cycling of carbon, phosphorous and nitrogen would increase, allowing population sizes to increase. • Decomposition would not be affected and so populations would remain stable. • Herbivore populations would increase, causing predator populations to increase. • Nutrients would eventually become scarce, threatening the survival of all populations in the ecosystem. http://urbanext.illinois.edu/soil/SoilBiology/fungi.htm http://www.nexuslearning.net/books/Holt_Env_Science/4-3.pdf
