Proceed to Next Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Incorrect Sorry, That’s Incorrect Return to the Question Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD What did Darwin infer from his observations of organisms in South America and the Galápagos Islands? 50/50 A A small number of different plant and animal species had come to the Galápagos Islands from the mainland. C The organisms on the Galápagos Islands were virtually identical to mainland organisms. B The organisms on the Galápagos Islands were completely unrelated to mainland organisms. D A small number of different plant and animal species had come to the mainland from the Galápagos Islands. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Differences between members of the same species are called… 50/50 A traits B selections C predators D variations Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Darwin concluded that organisms on the Galápagos Islands… 50/50 A C had no variations had remained B the same had changed over time were the result D of selective breeding Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Which of these is one of the main ways that a new species forms? 50/50 A C Competition occurs between members of the species A group is separated from the rest of the species B Mutations occur in the alleles of members of the species D Cross-breeding occurs within the species Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD What are fossils? 50/50 A molds and casts of organisms that live today C footprints or burrows of small animals that live today B the preserved remains or traces of organisms that lived in the past D drawings of ancient animals and other organisms Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce is called a(n)… 50/50 A variation B selection C mutation D adaptation Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD What is the role of genes in evolution? 50/50 A Parents with recessive genes die from overpopulation C Only traits that are controlled by genes can be acted on by natural selection B Natural selection happens regardless of genes D The genes of most surviving parents have only dominant alleles Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Which term refers to similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor? 50/50 A punctuated equilibria C development al organisms homologous B structures D DNA sequences Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD If two organisms look very similar during their early stages of development, this is evidence that the organisms… 50/50 A evolved from different ancestors B are not related C have exactly the same DNA D evolved from a common ancestor Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD A branching tree is… 50/50 A A diagram showing how scientists think different groups of organisms are related C a homologous structure that many plants have B a drawing that shows where different animals live in a tree D a species of tree that is not closely related to other tree species Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Scientists combine evidence from fossils, body structures, early development, DNA, and protein structures to… 50/50 A determine whether an organism will have gills during its early development B determine the evolutionary relationships among species C determine what bones an animal has in its forelimbs D decide which fossils are older than others Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD What did Darwin observe about finches in the Galápagos Islands? 50/50 A Their feathers were adapted to match their environment C They had identical phenotypes in all locations B They had identical genotypes in all locations D Their beaks were adaptations related to the foods the finches ate. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD A species is a group of similar organisms that… 50/50 A can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring B can migrate to an island from the mainland C can live together on an island D all have exactly the same traits Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD The gradual change in a species over time is called… 50/50 A mutation B evolution C migration D variation Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD What evidence suggests that the ancestors of whales once walked on land? 50/50 A Scientists have found fossils of whale-like creatures that had legs B Whales have similar DNA to elephants C Whales perform walking motions as they swim D Whales breathe through lungs Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD
