Which of the following is an example of a heritable characteristic possessed by an animal that will
improve its reproductive potential and survivability in its environment?
A position of geese flying in V formation
B color and shape camouflage of preying mantis
C muscle atrophy in aging dogs
D male dominance in a pack of wolves
11 Which statement does NOT accurately describe natural selection?
A Individual organisms change their genes to adapt to their environment.
B The genetic composition of a population changes from one generation to the next.
C More advantageous traits become more common in populations.
D Beneficial and useful traits are inheritable.

13 What are the advantages of having a universal naming system for organisms?
F Latin is the language most frequently spoken, as well as the most widely accepted language in the
scientific and medical fields.
G The scientific name of an organism does not address its habitat, diet, and life expectancy.
H In the case of pathogens, the scientific name of a virus can also be applied to the disease it causes.
J
The same organism name can be recognized in all countries, thus avoiding translation issues.
14 In which of the following Kingdoms or Domains would an organism NOT have a cell wall?
A Plantae
B Animalia
C Archaebacteria

15 Scientists discover a new organism. The organism is autotrophic, with membrane- bound organelles.
To which of these kingdoms does this organism MOST LIKELY belong?
A Archaebacteria
B Eubacteria
C Animalia
D Protista
16 Which of these factors should be compared to best determine how closely species are related to
each other?

18 What is a MAJOR difference between plant and animal cells?
A Plant cells are prokaryotic, and animal cells are eukaryotic.
B Plant cells have cell walls, and animal cells don’t have cell walls.
C Plant cells are endothermic, and animal cells are exothermic.
D Plant cells are heterotrophs, and animal cells are autotrophs.
19 The fossil record has allowed scientists to see that similar kinds of structures/limbs have grown in
structurally different patterns in different organisms (bat wing and butterfly wing). These
structures/limbs are termed as:
A analogous structures
B endosymbiosis
C natural selection
D vestigial structures
20 Looking through the fossil record, there are times when numerous fossils look to just appear all at
the same time, with similar characteristics. What is a good explanation for this?
A A change in the environment occurred, and animals choose to express different traits.
B New species are always occurring, and there is no reason for it.
C Ancient man killed off all the animals, and they raised new animals, which are then found in the
fossil record.
D A change in the environment caused different genetic traits to allow for a greater chance of
survival, and the fossil record shows this.
21 Which statement best describes members of the plant kingdom?
A unicellular, simple, autotrophic
B unicellular/multicellular, heterotrophic
C unicellular/multicellular, autotrophic
D multicellular, autotrophic
22 The fossil record provides evidence of how things have changed over time. Below shows the
evolution of the origin of Tetrapods.
When looking at the fossil record, similarities in anatomical structures can be seen. What is the
term for the common ancestry?
A phylogeny
B analogy
C embryology
D homology
23 Based on genes responsible for producing respiratory
structures, which pair of organisms would be MOST
closely related?
A perch and grasshopper
B tadpole and bird
C fish and human
D snake and monkey
