  8. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 100 True or False: Organisms that are more closely related have more similarities in their genes (DNA) Answer

  9. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 200 How did the fossil record influence Darwin? Answer

  10. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 300 How did Darwin’s observations on the Galapagos Islands influence his ideas of natural selection? Answer

  11. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 400 What are the four principles of natural selection? Answer

  12. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 500 What is the relationship between evolution and natural selection? Answer

  13. Evidence of Evolution 100 Give an example of a specific animal’s adaptation Answer

  15. Evidence of Evolution 300 What structures develop from similar tissues, but meet different needs in an adult? Answer

  16. Evidence of Evolution 400 What type of structures would we consider bird wings, bat wings, and insect wings? Why? Answer

  17. Evidence of Evolution 500 Explain 5 pieces of evidence for evolution. Answer

  18. Shaping Evolutionary History 100 What causes genetic drift to occur? Answer

  19. Shaping Evolutionary History 200 In which type of selection do both ends have higher fitness than the middle? ex: Large and small male cichlid fish, but very few medium size males Answer

  20. Shaping Evolutionary History 300 The changing of beak sizes in the finches on the Galapagos islands is best represented by which type of selection? Answer

  21. Shaping Evolutionary History 400 What generally happens when reproductive isolation occurs? Answer

  22. Shaping Evolutionary History 500 Contrast adaptive radiation and convergent evolution. Answer

  24. MISC 200 What is the pattern in which there are long periods of stable, no change, interrupted by short, rapid evolutionary change? Answer

  25. MISC 300 What type of structures are the human appendix, human tailbone, snake leg bones, and whale pelvis? Answer

  26. MISC 400 • Homologous structures are a sign of ___________ • Analogous structures are a sign of ___________ Answer

  27. MISC 500 Which of the following would favor giraffes with the shortest necks? Why? A. B. C. Answer

  28. History of the Earth100 - Answer Sedimentary Game Board

  29. Relative Dating History of the Earth 200 - Answer Game Board

  30. RadiometricDating History of the Earth300 - Answer Game Board

  31. Once living organisms (contained Carbon) that are less than 100,000 years old. The half-life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5,700 years, so there would be too little Carbon-14 left to measure after 100,000 years. History of the Earth400 - Answer Game Board

  32. History of the Earth500 - Answer As continents slowly moved, populations of species were separated. Those that adapted to new climates probably evolved into new species after many generations. Game Board

  33. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 100 - Answer True Game Board

  34. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 200 - Answer It shows that organisms have changed over time. Earth is old enough (4.6 billion years old) for these changes to occur. Game Board

  35. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 300- Answer Maybe the different species of finches on different islands had once been part of the same species. They had adapted over time to the conditions on each island. Game Board

  36. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 400 - Answer • Variation • Heritability • Overproduction • Reproductive Advantage Game Board

  37. Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 500 - Answer Natural selection is one way of how evolution works. Evolution is how species change over time (generally due to natural selection). Game Board

  38. Evidence of Evolution 100 - Answer Many answers could be correct – as long as it is a characteristic that increases the survival and reproductive success of that animal. Ex: stripes of a tiger to make it more camouflage, the long legs of an ostrich to increase speed, etc. Game Board

  39. Evidence of Evolution 200 - Answer When populations are separated by barriers such as rivers or mountains. They become isolated and will eventually evolve into separate species. Game Board

  40. Homologous structures - From a common ancestor Evidence of Evolution 300 - Answer Game Board

  41. Evidence of Evolution 400- Answer Analogous structures - They appear to be similar on the outside, but are different on the inside structurally (anatomically). They did NOT evolve from a common ancestor. Game Board

  42. Evidence of Evolution 500 - Answer • Fossil record • Comparative anatomy (homologous structures AND vestigial structures) • Comparative embryology • Comparative Biochemistry (DNA) • Geographic Distribution ***Why is each evidence for evolution??? Be specific (I’m leaving this one up to you ) Game Board

  43. Shaping Evolutionary History 100 - Answer Random chance (NOT due to natural selection) - Natural disaster could wipe out a large portion of the population, or overhunting (elephant seals), or a small group moves away Game Board

  44. Shaping Evolutionary History 200 - Answer Disruptive selection Game Board

  45. Shaping Evolutionary History 300 - Answer Directional Selection Game Board

  46. Shaping Evolutionary History 400 - Answer Speciation - A new species evolves because they eventually evolve enough changes that they no longer reproduce with the original population. Game Board

  47. Shaping Evolutionary History 500 - Answer Adaptive radiation – new species evolve from a common ancestor (branching tree), generally rapid growth as the organisms adapt to new conditions Convergent evolution – unrelated species evolve similar adaptations (analogous structures), but they do not share a common ancestor Game Board

  48. MISC 100 - Answer The ability to survive and reproduce Game Board

  49. MISC 200 - Answer Punctuated equilibrium Game Board

  50. MISC 300 - Answer Vestigial Structures Game Board
