  18. The combined genetic make-up of ALL the members of a population. B 400

  19. What is a Gene Pool? B 400

  20. A process in which HUMANS choose the most desirable traits of a population for breeding purposes. B 500

  21. What is Artificial Selection Or Selective Breeding? B 500

  22. Preserved or mineralized remains of organisms usually found in sedimentary rock. C 100

  23. What are Fossils? C 100

  24. Structures that have similar origin and structure but are adapted for different purposes (Example: Human arm/Bat wing) C 200

  25. What are Homologous Structures? C 200

  26. Fossil Records • Geographical Distribution • Homologous Structures • Vestigial Organs • Similarities in Embryology • Similarities in DNA C 300

  31. The early stagesof development in organisms in which there are many similarities among different species. C 500

  32. What is Embryology? C 500

  33. This may happen if a species lacks the variations necessary to adapt to a changing environment. D 100

  34. What is Die and Become Extinct? D 100

  35. Two populations are capable of interbreeding but have differences in courtship rituals or other reproductive strategies that involve behavior. (ex: Eastern and Western Meadowlarks) D 200

  36. What is Behavioral Isolation? D 200

  37. Two populations are separated by geographic barriers such as rivers, mountains, or other bodies of water. D 300

  38. What isGeographic Isolation? D 300

  39. Two or more species reproduce at different times and therefore, cannot interbreed. D 400

  40. What isTemporal Isolation? D 400

  41. When the Industrial Revolution began the tree trunks and buildings blackened with soot. Moths that were darker in color blended in with their environment better than light-colored moths. This is an example of D 500
