  1. Evolution Review Game

  2. How do fossils demonstrate evidence of evolution? • They show that ancient species share similarities with species now on Earth.

  3. When two populations become reproductively isolated what do we call the process that occurs next? • Speciation

  4. If you are able to survive and reproduce you are considered what? • Fit

  5. The snake has hip bones, but no legs. The hip bones are considered what type of structure? • Vestigial

  6. Survival of the fittest can be used to describe what process in evolution? • Natural selection

  7. Individuals who survive and reproduce usually have a type of what? • Adaptation

  8. What is change over time also called? • Evolution

  9. What important thing does sexual reproduction give us? • Variety/Diversity

  10. The cats eat all the small and medium sized mice, what type of selection is this? • Directional

  11. the mice with dark fur and the mice with light fur are able to hide from predators, but not the ones in the middle. What type of selection is this? • Disruptive

  12. Babies are usually born at a middle weight because if they are too big or too small complications can arise. What type of selection is this? • Stabilizing

  13. What size population is greatly effected by genetic drift • small

  14. If you reproduce at different times what type of isolation is occurring? • temporal solation

  15. A random change in the DNA is called what? • Mutation

  16. When males fight for a female what is this called? • Sexual selection

  17. When the two birds do not reproduce because they do different dances what type of isolation is that? • Behavioral isolation

  18. When there is a mountain in the way what type of isolation is it? • Geographic isolation

  19. All the alleles in a population is called the what? • Gene pool

  20. T/F Natural selection acts on the geneotype • False: Phenotype

  21. Give an example of an adaptation

  22. The human and a whale fin have a similar bone structure. What do we call these structures? • Homologous structures

  23. What do we call newly derived traits on a cladogram? • Derived traits

  24. What are fossils? • Preserved organic matter

  25. How can you tell how old a fossil is? • The older layers are towards the bottom.

  26. How can you tell who has the highest level of fitness? • They survive and reproduce more

  27. When there is a change in the population because of random chance what is it called? • Genetic drift

  28. Why is the loss of variation a bad thing? • Less likely to survive changes or diseases

  29. Why are there may types of bird beaks found on the Galapagos islands? • Different food sources/ adaptations

  30. Why were there more black rock pocket mice over time on the lava rock? • The black mice survived and reproduced

  31. How are homologous structures evidence for evolution? • Common ancestor

  32. Why do only males get the fancy traits?
