Darwinian Evolution Summative Assessment Review 1. Define spontaneous generation 2. ___________________ was the scientist that finally settled the argument over spontaneous generation. 3. What flaw did supporters of spontaneous generation find with Spallanzani’s experimentation and resulting conclusion that nonliving gravy did not produce living things? 4. Pasteur’s flask was designed so that air was allowed to flow into the jar of broth, but it protected the broth from _______________________________. 5. How did Redi test the hypothesis of spontaneous generation? 6. What did Pasteur do in his experiments on spontaneous generation that other scientists before him had not done? 7. What was the fatal flaw in Needham’s experimental design? 8. Why was Hutton’s and Lyell’s work important to Darwin? 9. What did Darwin realize about Malthus’s theory of population control? 10. Darwin was prompted to publish his theory of evolution by_____________________________ __________________________________________. 11. The species of finches that Darwin observed differed in the shape of their beaks. According to Darwin, all of these species probably had ___________________________________. 12. The species of finches that Darwin found on the Galápagos Islands displayed different structural adaptations. One of the adaptations that Darwin noted was the __________________________ __________________. 13. What was Lyell’s theory (be specific). . 14. The idea that only famine, disease, and war could prevent the endless growth of the human population was presented by _______________________. 15. Darwin drew ideas for his theory from observations of organisms on the __________________ Islands. 16. Darwin thought that the animals of the Galápagos Islands were similar to those of the nearby coast of South America because __________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________. 17. What is the idea developed by Lyell which states that the geologic processes that shaped Earth in the past continue to operate in the same way today? 18. What do farmers look for when they select plants or animals to use for breeding? 19. Define natural selection. 20. Natural selection could not occur without __________________________________in species. 21. True or false. The following are consistent with the theory of natural selection: a. They transmit characteristics acquires by use and disuse to their offspring. b. They tend to produce fewer offspring than others in the population. c. They are the ones best adapted to survive in their environment. d. They will perpetuate unfavorable changes in the species. 22. What was the most likely effect of the Industrial Revolution on peppered moths in cities? 23. In 1943, drug companies began mass-producing penicillin. At that time, it was a medical miracle and was used as a remedy for infected wounds, pneumonia, and other bacterial diseases. Just four years later, however, it was no longer effective on the same diseases that it had previously been able to cure. What happened? 24. Circle the correct answer. Which of the following is true about natural selection? a. The desire and the advantage of a population to remain constant allows it to occur. b. The old age of the individuals which causes them to die allows it to occur. c. The unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce allows it to occur. d. The ability for populations to change quickly from one trait to the next allows it to occur. 25. What were Lamarck’s ideas regarding evolution? 26. An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that can be _____________ or ______________. 27. Lamarck’s theory of evolution includes the concept that new organs in a species appear as a result of ____________________________________________________________ ____________________. 28. Which of Lamarck’s theories was not included in the modern theory of evolution? 29. Species today look different from their ancestors because natural selection has resulted in organisms that occupy different niches. This is called _____________________. 30. True or False. According to the theory of evolution, evolution is likely to occur because of: a. The potential for a species’ population to increase. b. Genetic differences in offspring. c. A limited supply of necessary resources. d. Selection of offspring that are best able to survive
