in a snake
skeleton are an
example of what?
Answer
• Vestigial Structures
Name 2 features
present in vertebrate
embryos that suggest
common evolutionary
origins.

slits)
• Limb buds
List the 5 different
types of fossils.
Answer
• Molds
• Petrified
• Casts
• Amber-preserved
• Imprint
Structures that are
similar in function but
have evolved
separately are called
what?
Answer
• Analagous Structures
The concept that evolution
occurs over long periods
of stability that are
interrupted by geologically
brief periods of change is
called…
Answer
• Punctuated Equilibrium
_______________ is a type
of selection that favors two
extreme traits.
Answer
• Disruptive
_________ __________ is
a mechanism for change in
a population in which
organisms with favorable
variations live, reproduce,
and pass on their favorable
traits.
Answer
• Natural Selection
This graph depicts which
type of selection?
Answer
• Stabilizing Selection
–The average or middle are
favored
–Extremes are NOT favored
Explain why
individuals compete
to survive.
Answer
• Living organisms overproduce
(too many offspring)
• Limited resources
An insect has evolved to
look like a leaf, allowing
it to blend in with its
environment. This is an
example of…
Answer
• Camouflage
Draw a graph
depicting directional
selection.
Answer
One extreme is favored

How were Darwin’s
finches different
from each other?
What explained
these differences?
Answer
• Their beaks were different
• Their beaks were adapted to
their diets.
Darwin wrote what
book to explain his
theory of
evolution?
Answer
• On the Origin of Species
List the four parts of
Darwin’s theory of
evolution.
Answer
• Living organisms produce too
many offspring
• There is variation among the
offspring
• There is a struggle to survive
(competition)
• Individuals that have desirable
traits will survive and reproduce.

FINAL JEOPARDY
When studying the evolution of
insects, you find that some male
insects are able to remove the
sperm packet of another male
from the reproductive tract of a
female. Explain how this is a
selective advantage for males.
Answer
• The male insect can remove the
other male’s sperm and replace
it with his own sperm into the
female.
• This way, he ensures that his
genes get passed on to the next
generation.
