Biology Evolution Study Guide (Chapter 10) http://jeopardylabs.com/play/evolution1083 The name of the scientist who first published a book explaining evolution, and provided evidence of how it occurred. ___________________________ These are the natural differences among a species, that must exist for natural selection to occur. This is the basic definition of evolution. ___________________________ Fossils (or preserved remnants of dead organisms) are only found in this type of rock. ___________________________ This is a natural variation that helps an organism survive in its environment. Ex: Ducks having webbed feet___________________________ The name of the scientist who believed in the inheritance of acquired characteristics, or that giraffes grew long necks as a result of straining their necks all their lives. ___________________________ This is one way variation can occur. _________________________ , _______________________ This is the mechanism of evolution in which the better adapted organisms survive to reproduce and pass their traits on to their offspring from generation to generation__________________________ This is the molecular biology that all life has in common, and is the most compelling evidence of evolution. ___________________________ These are the body parts of different organisms that function differently, but have similar bones. ___________________________ He created a similar theory to Darwin at the same time Darwin was working on his, and urged Darwin to publish his book. ___________________________ The slang term used to summarize natural selection, which results from a variation + struggle to survive + competition. ___________________________ The main idea behind evolution; that all species evolved from... ___________________________ This is the type of dating that uses the law of superposition to determine the age of a fossil based on its layer within the rock strata; it doesn't give you an exact age in years. ___________________________ These are structures of different organisms that tend to look similar because they serve similar functions, although their bone structures are different. ___________________________ This is the name of the book Charles Darwin wrote, that explained HOW life changed over time and evolved from a common ancestor. ___________________________ When organisms try to get their fair share of a limited amount of resources. ___________________________ If shown as a diagram, evolution would look like this. ___________________________ This is the type of dating that uses the known half-lives of isotopes like Uranium and Carbon to determine the exact age of a fossil. ___________________________ An explanation of events in the natural world based on observations. Unlike a scientific law, this can be falsified or changed as our knowledge of the subject matter changes. ___________________________ This is the name of the ship Charles Darwin sailed around the world on when studying evolution from 1831-1836. ___________________________ This is the selecting agent in Natural Selection, or what determines fitness (which traits are favorable or not). ___________________________ 23. This is the major evidence that supports the theory of evolution (must list all 3 for full credit) ___________________________ ___________________________ ___________________________ 24. These are body parts that used to be important but have evolved to be non-essential. Ex: human appendix, ostrich wings___________________________ 25. Although from different animals, and used for running, swimming, and flying, explain why all these limbs have similar bone structures. ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ 26. These limbs are called: ________________________ ________________________ 27. According to this chart, a horse is most closely related to which animal? ____________________ 28. According to the chart above, which are more closely related: a chicken and a penguin or a chicken and a duck? (Hint: add all values between the two animals) 29. On the chart above, circle the location of the common ancestor all life shares. 30. In your own words, explain the theory of evolution and provide an example to support your explanation. ____________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________
