Exam 1 Term 3 | Evolution – Mark answer on Scantron AND test! Test # ____________ NAME _________________________ PERIOD ________ For reference, here are 5 points to summarize Darwin’s theory: Individual organisms differ. Some of this variation is heritable. Organisms produce more offspring than can survive. Many that do survive do not reproduce. Since more organisms are produced than can survive, they compete for limited resources (food, space, water, etc.). Each organism has different advantages and disadvantages in the struggle for existence. Individuals best suited to their environment survive and reproduce most successfully. These organisms pass their heritable traits to their offspring. Other individuals die or leave fewer offspring. This process of natural selection causes species to change over time. Species alive today are descended with modification from ancestral species that lived in the distant past. This process, by which diverse species evolved from common ancestors, unites all organisms on Earth into a single tree of life. 1. What is evolution? a. An inherited characteristic b. harmful change in genetic information c. when an animal or plant changes d. When populations of organisms change over time 2. Darwin’s theory has 2 parts: (1) The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its natural environment is called a. evolution b. fitness c. natural selection d. use and disuse 3. Part (2) of his theory, Common Descent with modification, is when a. Each living species has descended, with changes, from other species over time b. Individuals at the upper and lower ends of a curve have the highest fitness c. Small groups migrate to isolated new places d. Two populations are separated by geographic barriers The diagrams below show changes in a desert lizard population. 4. Which biological concept is illustrated (in the lizard picture on the last page)? A. polygenic traits B. natural selection C. sex-linked inheritance D. silent mutations 5. Which term best describes the evolution of two species of frogs separated by a mountain range? A. mutation B. vestigal structures C. geographical isolation D. camouflage 6. A group of squirrels were living together in the same forest. Because of an earthquake the forest was split into two separate forests divided by a large, rapid river. Squirrels were separated equally between the two different forests. Millennia later these two populations of squirrels were two different species. Which of the following would be the most plausible explanation? A. Artificial selection has occurred because the environmental pressures for the first group of squirrels was different than those for the second B. Evolution has occurred because squirrel populations diverged over time C. Evolution has occurred because the squirrels became more complex over time D. Ionizing radiation from the sun has caused mutations in one group of squirrels E.

Prueba # __________ NOMBRE _________________________ ________ PERÍODO Como referencia, aquí hay 5 puntos para resumir la teoría de Darwin: Difieren de los organismos individuales. Parte de esta variación es heredable. Los organismos producen más descendientes que pueden sobrevivir. Muchos de los que sobreviven no se reproducen. Dado que se producen más organismos que pueden sobrevivir, compiten por recursos limitados (alimentos, espacio, agua, etc.). Cada organismo tiene diferentes ventajas y desventajas en la lucha por la existencia. Individuos mejores adaptados a su entorno de sobreviven y reproducen con más éxito. Estos organismos pasan sus rasgos hereditarios a su descendencia. Otras personas mueren o dejan menos descendencia. Este proceso de selección natural hace que las especies cambian con el tiempo.
