Biology B. Uniformitarianism C. Ecology D. Biogeography 7. What animal was Lamarck studying when he developed his idea of acquired traits? A. Tigers B. Finches C. Shore Birds D. Penguins 8. An interbreeding single-species group is called a: A. Population B. Phylum C. Genus D. Community 9. The Galapagos Islands are located off of the west coast of what continent? A. North America B. South America C. Australia D. Asia 10. John Henslow recommended Darwin for the position of __________________ aboard the H.M.S. Beagle in 1831. A. Captain B. Botanist C. Naturalist D. Mathematician 11. The theory that states that organisms best suited to their environment reproduce more successfully than other organisms is: A. Natural Selection B. Divergent Evolution C. Adaptive Radiation D. Artificial Selection 12. Which of the following is NOT an example of Coevolution? A. Predators and prey B. Sharks and porpoises C. Parasites and hosts D. Plant-eating animals and the plants they eat 13. The scientist that developed the Law of Superposition was: A. Gregor Mendel B. Nicolaus Steno C. Louis Pasteur D. Charles Darwin 14. The Glyptodont was the prehistoric relative of what modern-day animal? A. Armadillo B. Cat C. Finch D. Rhinoceros 15. When some species existed for awhile and then disappeared, they are said to have become: A. Acquired B. Exempt C. Extinct D. Adaptive 16. _____________________ features serve identical functions and look somewhat alike, but have different embryological development and may be different in internal anatomy. A. Homologous B. Vestigial C. Analogous D. Acquired 17. Charles Darwin’s famous book is called The Origin of the: A. Finches B. Beagle C. Galapagos Islands D. Species 18. The genes to make hind legs in whales have been ____________________, or remained unchanged. A. Conserved B. Adapted C. Coevolved D. Radiated 19. The discoverer of the Burgess Shale fossils was a man named: A. Robert Hooke B. Nicolaus Steno C. Charles Doolittle Walcott D. Harry Whittington 20. An ___________________ trait is one that is NOT determined by genes. A. Extinct B. Acquired C. Adaptive D. Artificial TRUE/FALSE- for each statement below, write the word “true” or “false” on your answer sheet 21. Darwin’s Descent with Modification theory states that the newer forms appearing in the fossil record are actually the modified descendents of older species. 22. The wings of the Hummingbird and Humming moth are example of analogous features. 23. Most fossils are found in sedimentary rock. 24. In a layer of rock, the top layers are the oldest, while the bottom layers are the most recent. 25. Darwin thought that the webbed feet of shore birds was caused by repeated stretching of the membrane between the toes. 26. According to uniformitarianism, modern volcanoes spew forth lava and ash in the same way those on early Earth did. 27. At about 5 million years old, the Galapagos Islands are relatively young. 28. Early stages of different vertebrate embryos are similar to each other, though the similarities fade as development proceeds. 29. Tailbones in humans and pelvic bones in whales are examples of analogous structures. 30. Molds and casts are the 2 main types of fossils. MATCHING- Match the following statements with the scientist that they describe 31. ________ Wrote The Origin of the Species A. Lamarck 32. ________ To explain how species changed, he hypothesized that acquired traits were passed on to offspring B. Darwin C. Hooke 33._________ Young naturalist that encouraged Darwin to publish his findings D. Wallace 34. _________ Discovered the cell and was also the first scientist to study fossils with a microscope 35. _________ Said that repeated stretching of the membrane between the toes of shore birds caused webbed feet 36. _________ Developed the theory of Modification by Natural Selection 37. _________ Thought that the detail he saw with a microscope was too fine and precise to have been formed by the rock; he concluded that living organisms had been turned to rock 38. _________ Collected 13 species of finches from the Galapagos Islands 39. _________ First became interested in natural history after studying under John Henslow, a professor of botany at Cambridge University 40. _________ Was the first to state that types of organisms change over time and new organisms are modified descendents of older types COMPLETION- write the word that best completes each sentence on your answer sheet 41. ____________ extinctions were brief periods during which large numbers of species disappeared. 42. A favorable trait is said to give the organism that has it an ________________ advantage. 43. An example of artificial selection is humans breeding _________ for certain phenotypic characteristics, resulting in different breeds. 44. John Henslow recommended Darwin for a position aboard the H.M.S. ___________________. 45. Darwin collected 13 species of ___________________ from the Galapagos Islands. 46-55. SHORT ANSWER CHOOSE ONLY 2, AND WRITE YOUR ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS ON THE BACK OF YOUR ANSWER SHEET! A. What are vestigial structures? Give 2 examples of vestigial structures in humans or other organisms. What do these structures suggest about the organism’s ancestors (how might the structures have been useful to ancestors)? B. Darwin and Larmarck had differing ideas on evolution. How did Larmarck explain species changing over time? How did Darwin explain species changing over time? What animal did each scientist focus most of their attention on? Which scientist, Lamarck or Darwin, contributed the most to modern evolutionary thought? C. What is a homologous feature? Give an example of a homologous feature that we discussed in class. What do homologous features between organisms suggest about their past?
