A Use and disuse C Inheritance of acquired traits B Lamarckian inheruitence D Natural Selection Natural Selection $200 Which of the following was NOT a part of Darwin’s theory of evolution? A Use and disuse C Common Descent B Evolution D Natural Selection Use and disuse $300 The variability among individuals of a species noticed by Darwin is a result of A Inheritance of acquired traits C Alleles B A state of equilibrium D Genotype Inheritance and acquired traits $500 A fossil record: A Provides ample evidence against natural selection Provides evidence that C species do not change B Provides evidence that species have changed over time D Is not chronological Provides evidence that species have changed over time $1000 Modern day scientists have added to Darwin’s theory with: A Mathematics C Palentology B Engineering D Genetics Genetics $2000 An individual’s fitness is A C The ratio of body fat to muscle weight The probability that that individual will have 2 or more offspring B The ability of that individual to survive to reproductive age D The probability that an individual will contribute its genes to the next generation The probability that an individual will contribute its genes to the next generation $4000 Structures that perform a similar function and arise from a common ancestral traits are called… A Divergent structures C Heritable structures B Homologous structures D Analogous structures Homologous structures $8000 The breeding of a dog to have a particular coat color is an example of .. A Balanced equation C Artificial selection B Inheritance of acquired traits D Macroevolution Artificial selection $16,000 Which of factor has the greatest effect on the rate of evolution A Vegetative propagation C Asexual reproduction B Environmental changes D Use and disue Environmental changes $32,000 Certain insects resemble the twigs of trees on which they live. The most probable explanation for this resemblance is… A Natural selection has favored this trait No mutations have C taken place The insects needed to B camouflage themselves The trees caused a D mutation to occur Natural selection has favored this trait. $64,000 Darwin was unable to explain completely his theory of evolution because he lacked knowledge of… A Survival of the fittest C The source of variations B Overproduction D Natural selection The source of variations $125,000 The special characteristics that make an organism particularly suited to its environment are known as A Abiotic factors C Adaptations B Aggregates D Biotic factors Adaptations $250,000 Of 500 eggs produced by a certain female frog, only 10% developed into adult frogs. Which part of Darwin’s theory does this illustrate? A Mutations occur by chance Mating occurs in a random C manner in species There is a struggle for the B existence among organisms D Favorable variations occur There is a struggle for existence among organisms $500,000 Early stages in an embryo of a fish are similar to the early stages of human and pig embryos. An explanation for the similarity is that the … A Pigs and humans are more closely related to each other than fish. C Pigs, humans, and fish have no ancestral species in common. B Pigs and humans occupy the same habitat, while fish occupies a different habitat. D Pigs, humans, and fish have evolved from a common ancestor Pigs, humans, and fish have evolved from a common ancestor. Which factor has most likely caused the rapid increase in the number of pesticide resistant insect species over the past 30 years? A More widespread use of pesticides C A decrease in food production B An increase in competition Greater mating between D insect species More widespread use of pesticides
