Evolution Review 1. What is a scientific theory? 2. What is evolution? 3. Evolution occurs in (populations / individuals)? (Circle which one is correct) 4. Charles Darwin had two main themes that made up his theory of evolution. What are they and what does each of them mean? 1. ___________________________ - 2. ___________________________ - 5. In evolutionary terms, what is fitness? 6. What is a mutation? 7. What are the two types of mutations? (In your description, tell if the mutation DOES / DOES NOT affect the PARENT ORGANISM and the OFFSPRING) 8. How often do mutations occur? 9. Refer to question 8 for this answer. Because mutations occur ________________, evolution occurs _____________________. 10. Who is Jean Baptiste Lamarck? 12. Define coevolution and provide an example of it. 13. Define convergent evolution and tell what causes it. 14. Define divergent evolution and tell what causes it. 14. What are analogous structures? 15. Analogous structures are caused by what kind of evolution? 16. What are homologous structures? 17. Homologous structures are caused by what kind of evolution? 18. Define vestigial structures and give an example of them. 19. How old does the fossil record tell us the Earth is? 20. How do fossils provide evidence for evolution? 21. The Earth is divided into layers. The layers on top are (younger / older) making the layers toward the bottom (younger / older). 22. Draw a graph showing the three types of natural selection. Label and explain what is happening in each graph. 23. Explain how the following scientists contributed to the theory of spontaneous generation, including the experiments they performed. Redi- Needham- Spallanzani- Pasteur- 24. Explain Miller and Urey’s experiment and their findings. 25. How did Lyell contribute to Darwin’s evolution theory? 26. How can an amino acid sequence (molecular biology) be used to tell if two organisms are related? 27. After the mass extinction of dinosaurs, mammals diversified rapidly. This is an example of . 28. If 2 animals are the same species, then they are able to do what together?
