Name: _______________ FRONT Period: _____ Unit 8: Evolution Qualifier 1. How is natural variation used in natural selection? a. Nature provides the variation among different organisms and humans select this differences b. Nature only produces the most fit species c. Humans chose to bred animals with little or no natural variation d. Natural variation is not used in artificial selection. 2. Natural selection acts on __________which in turn may result in the evolution of _________ over time. a. Populations, individuals b. Individuals, populations c. Species, species d. Individuals, families 3. Pandas developed longer wrists to better eat bamboo over time and in turn increase their chance of survival. This is an example of: a. Fitness b. Comparative Anatomy c. Artificial Selection d. Adaptation 4. Which of the following does NOT provide evidence for evolution? a. Cells b. Comparative Biochemistry c. Fossils d. Comparative Anatomy 5. How does natural selection contribute to the theory of evolution? a. Over time, natural selection only eliminates bad characteristics within a species b. Natural selection selects for the same animals every time c. Natural selection acts on populations d. Over time, natural selection evolves individuals 6. The struggle for existence refers to: a. The hardships newborn offspring face due to predation b. The struggle for animals who cannot breathe c. Members of each species compete regularly to obtain food and living space d. The hardships between parents of raising offspring 7. What is the relationship between natural selection and fitness? a. Descent with modification b. Changes in inherited characteristics of a population increase a species’ fitness in its environment c. Natural selection selects for traits of the fittest animals to pass on genes to the next generation d. Both B & C 8. Farmer Joe only breeds the largest hogs, the fastest horses, or the cows that give the most milk. This is an example of: a. Natural selection b. Fitness c. Artificial selection d. Survival of the fittest 1 BACK 9. The streamline shape of sharks and whales, similar but not due to a common ancestor is an example of: a. Analogous structures b. Homologous structures c. Artificial selection d. Fitness 10. Metabolism of organisms based on the same complex compounds, like protein Cytochrome c, essential for aerobic respiration, is an example of: a. Biochemical processes b. Fossilization c. Cytology d. Genetics 11. The answer to the previous question is essential in evolution because: a. Those processes are not present across all species b. All animals can breathe c. All animals need lungs to breathe d. Those processes are present across all species likely due to decent from a common ancestor. Matching: Match the description on the left to the corresponding term on the right. Some choices may be used more than once and some may not be used at all. 1. Wrote the book “On the origin of species to help show the changes between organisms which he called natural selection _____ A. Derived Characteristics B. Homologous structures 2. Bones, organs, or other structures that are not used in some organisms but are useful in others and do not affect an organisms ability to survive and reproduce _____ C. Differential Reproduction and Success D. Fitness E. Vestigial Structures 3. Ability of individuals to survive and reproduce in its specific environment_____ F. Charles Darwin 4. Structures that are similar in organisms, but have a different function _____ G. Comparative Embryology 5. Study of similarities in early development_____ Short Answer Extension Questions: be able to describe each in detail 1. Differentiate between analogous and homologous structures. Give an example of each. 2. List and define Darwin’s Four requirements of Evolution by natural selection. 2 BACK 3. Describe early earth and the evidence that supports the early earth model. How did life on earth begin according to scientists? 3
