Return to the Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Ask the Audience “Audience, we need your help on this one…in a moment, we’ll ask you to indicate, by show of hands, your choice for the correct answer…” Return to the Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Incorrect Sorry, That’s Incorrect Return to the Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Correct Correct! Proceed to Next Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #1... Based on the graph, which month had the lowest precipitation? 50/50 A June C August B July D September Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #2... When a farmer breeds only his or her best livestock, the process involved is 50/50 A Survival of the fittest B Natural selection C Acquired characteristics D Artificial selection Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #3... According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for the environment. Their survival is due to the: 50/50 A Possession of adaptations developed through use B Lack of competition within a species C Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness D Choices made by plant and animal breeders Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #4: An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that can be 50/50 A Physical or geographical C Physical or behavioral B Aquired during the organism's lifetime D The result of artificial selection Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #5... Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment: 50/50 A diversity B C adaptation D fitness evolution Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #6... In humans the pelvis and femur, or thigh bone, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in the figure below are : 50/50 A Examples of fossils B C The result of natural selection D Acquired traits Vestigial structures Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #7... The number and location of bones of many fossil vertebrates are similar to those in living vertebrates. Most biologists would probably explain this fact on the basis of: 50/50 A The needs of the organisms B C a common ancestor D The struggle for existence The inheritance of acquired traits Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #8... Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as : 50/50 A Evidence that Earth was thousands of years old C Interesting but unrelated to the evolution of modern species B A detailed record of evolution D Evidence that traits are acquired through use or disuse Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #9... The same kinds of cells that grow in similar patterns in different but unrelated organisms produce: 50/50 A The same kind of embryos C Descent with modification B Natural variations in a population D Homologous structures such as wings and arms Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #10 : Which concept is not included in the modern theory of evolution? 50/50 A C Transmission of acquired characteristics Natural selection B Descent with modification D Competition among the member of a population Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #11... A change in sequence of DNA is called a 50/50 A Polygenic trait C Recombination B mutation D Single gene trait Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #12... Gene shuffling includes the independent movement of chromosomes during meiosis as well as 50/50 A Mutations from chemicals. B Mutations from radiation C Changes in the frequencies of alleles D Crossing over Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #13... Which of the following is not a way in which natural selection affects the distribution of phenotypes? 50/50 A Chance Events C Stabilizing Selection B Directional Selection D Disruptive Selection Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #14... The geographic isolation of two populations of a species tends to increase differences between their gene pools because it : 50/50 A Prevents interbreeding within each population B Prevents interbreeding between the populations C Causes temporal isolation of the two populations D Increases differences in courtship behavior Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Question #15... The Galapagos finch species is an excellent example of 50/50 A Speciationn C Stabilizing selection B Genetic equilibrium D Selection on single –gene traitsn Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD
