Evolution Review Sheet 1. The founder of modern evolution theory is ________________. 2. The process of breeding specific organism to achieve specific traits is called ____________. 3. The process by which organisms with traits that enable them to survive, reproduce, and pass on those traits is called ________________. 4. What are the four principles of natural selection? 5. How does overproduction of offspring help in the survival of a species? 6. Give an example of an adaptation. 7. What are the five factors that affect genetic variability? How does each work? 8. What type of selection favors one extreme form of a trait? 9. What type of selection favors both extreme forms of a trait? 10. What type of selection favors the middle form of a trait? 11. Draw a graph for each type of selection for questions 8-10. 12. How is diversity related to the survival of a species? 13. What is genetic equilibrium and who came up with this idea? 14. The change in inherited traits in a species over time is called _______________. 15. List and define the four categories of evidence for evolution? 16. Structures in different species with common evolutionary origin are called _____________ and can be similar in _____________, ___________ or _____________. 17. Why are homologous structures considered evidence of evolution? Give an example of homologous structures in different animals. 18. Body parts with similar function but to not have similar ancestry are called ________________. An example of this is _________________________. 19. Structures that have no function in the organism but may have had a use in an ancestor are called _______________. Give examples of these structures. 20. Describe these 6 patterns of biological evolution: gradualism, punctuated equilibrium, divergent/adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, coevolution and extinction. 21. Who came up the idea of Binomial Nomenclature and what is it? 22. The scientific name for a bobcat is Lynx rufus. What is the bobcat’s genus? What is its species? 23. What are the three domains into which all life belongs? 24. List the six kingdoms of life. 25. What does a Phylogenetic Tree display? 26. Using the Phylogenetic Tree to the right to describe examples of organisms that are closely related and those who are not. 27. A tool for identifying organisms consisting of a series of two part descriptions is called a ___________________.
