Fossil _____4) The death of all members of a species D. Paleontologist 5) Explain the difference between behavioral isolation, geographic isolation, and reproductive isolation. 6) Explain how the above terms (in question #5) can be related to the term “speciation.” 7) Define “natural selection” AND explain how it could cause competition. 8) Define “vestigial structure” and give an example. 9) The similarity of homologous structures suggests that two or more species ______________________________________________________________________________________________. 10) How is embryological evidence important to the theory of evolution? 11) Strong evidence for evolution comes from the fossil record. Circle: True or False 12) Explain the difference between the following terms: a. Mutation _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ b. Genetic Drift ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ c. Gene Flow ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 13) Immigrants move _________________ a population and emigrants move ________________ a population. 14) All mutations are lethal. Circle: True or False Hardy-Weinberg Practice Problems 15. What two equations are used to represent Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? What does each variable represent? 16. What are the 5 assumptions that must be met in order for the equation to work? What does this mean if a population is in H-W? 17. If a population contains 38% homozygous recessive individuals (white fur) and 62% individuals with both pure and hybrid dominant brown fur, what is the frequency of the dominant allele in the population? SHOW ALL WORK!

B. C. D. Commensalism Parasitism Mutualism Predation 22) Explain why white furred mice would not benefit in the desert. 23) How are food chains and food webs related? 24) A "primary consumer" can also be called a(n) ______________________________. 25) An example of an abiotic factor is _____________________ and an example of a biotic factor is ____________________. 26) Why are decomposers important to the success of an ecosystem? 27) An example of a food chain is… a. Lizard Grasshopper Grass b. Grass Mouse Hawk c. Mouse Hawk Rabbit d. Grass Tree Lizard 28) What do the arrows represent in a food chain? 29) Give two examples of organisms that would be considered “producers.” 30) Explain why the top of the food chain does NOT receive 100% of the stored energy from the organisms they are eating. 31) Which of the following would be considered an example of a population? a. all insects in a desert c. all plants in the rainforest b. all silver maple trees in a forest d. all trees in the taiga *Explain why that answer is correct and the others are not. 32) Put the following terms in the correct order from smallest (left) to largest (right). Population Organism Ecosystem Community 33) Which part of a stable ecosystem cannot be recycled since it is either used up or lost as heat? ________________ The diagram to the right/below represents an energy pyramid. Use it to answer questions #34 & #35. 34) If level A produces 1000 J of energy, how much energy is available to level B? ___________ 35) On the energy pyramid to the right, which level represents primary consumers? _______ 36) The first plants to grow after a fire are called the ____________________________________. 37) In ecology, what does the term “succession” mean? 38) Explain why the deer population may increase over time. Explain a few factors that may lead to the increase in the deer population within a given area. * Explain why the deer population may decrease over time. Explain a few factors that may lead to the decrease in the deer population within a given area. 39) An organism’s interactions with other organisms is referred to as its _________________________. 40) The specific place where an organism lives out its life is a _______________________________.
