  5. Question Define Evolution

  6. Answer The genetic changes in a species over time.

  7. Question State the difference between gradualism and punctuated equilibrium

  8. Answer Gradualism - evolution over millions of years PE - rapid evolution over 100 to 1000 years

  9. Question What are three reasons for a population of a species to evolve?

  10. Answer Environment Food Predator

  11. Question Who contributed the most to the modern theory of evolution?

  12. Answer Charles Darwin

  13. Question The four main ways we can support the theory of evolution are:

  14. Answer Fossils Embryology Biochemistry/genetics Comparative anatomy

  15. Question Define the theory of natural selection.

  16. Answer Organisms that are better adapted to their environment are “selected” to be able to survive and reproduce, passing on their favorable traits to their offspring.

  17. Question What were Lamarck’s two main points in his theory of evolution?

  18. Answer Use and disuse Inheritance of acquired characteristics

  19. Question Describe the idea of use and disuse

  20. Answer An organism would be able to develop a trait by using or not using it and then that trait would be passed onto its offspring

  21. Question What did Charles Darwin not explain in his theory of evolution?

  22. Answer He does not explain the genetic basis for variation within a species.

  23. Question What is a Theory?

  24. Answer A theory is a statement or model that has been tested and confirmed many times

  25. Question Define Fossil

  26. Answer Any trace or remains of an organism that has been preserved by natural processes

  27. Question Write the fossils in order from oldest to youngest

  28. Answer 5,3,1,4,2

  29. Question Homologous or analogous structure?

  30. Answer Homologous

  31. Question What are vestigial structures?

  32. Answer Vestigial structures are structures that are in an organism but have reduced in size and serve little or not function

  33. Question How can we use embryology to find which organisms have a similar ancestor?

  34. Answer Embryology compares the early stages of development of different species to find similarities

  35. Question Darwin stated that evolution was driven by ______ ________.

  36. Answer Saturated Monounsaturated Polyunsaturated Trans Fat Natural selection

  37. Question List the six points of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution?

  38. Answer Competition Overpopulation Speciation Variations Adaptations Natural Selection

  39. Question Define speciation and what is one way that it could happen?

  40. Answer The formation of a new species. One way this could happen is because of geographic isolation

  41. Question Does Charles Darwin support gradualism or punctuated equilibrium?

  42. Answer Gradualism

  43. Question Charles Darwin shares his birthday with what American President?

  44. Answer Abraham Lincoln

  45. Question Question During what Era did the dinosaurs live?
