MISC 300 What type of structures are the human appendix, human tailbone, snake leg bones, and whale pelvis? Answer

MISC 400 Homologous structures are a sign of ___________ Analogous structures are a sign of ___________ Answer

MISC 500 Which of the following would favor giraffes with the shortest necks? Why? A. B. C. Answer

History of the Earth 100 - Answer Sedimentary Game Board

History of the Earth 200 - Answer Relative Dating Game Board

History of the Earth 300 - Answer Radiometric Dating Game Board

History of the Earth 400 - Answer Once living organisms (contained Carbon) that are less than 100,000 years old. The half-life of Carbon-14 is approximately 5,700 years, so there would be too little Carbon-14 left to measure after 100,000 years. Game Board

History of the Earth 500 - Answer As continents slowly moved, populations of species were separated. Those that adapted to new climates probably evolved into new species after many generations. Game Board

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 100 - Answer True Game Board

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 200 - Answer It shows that organisms have changed over time. Earth is old enough (4.6 billion years old) for these changes to occur. Game Board

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 300- Answer Maybe the different species of finches on different islands had once been part of the same species. They had adapted over time to the conditions on each island. Game Board

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 400 - Answer Variation Heritability Overproduction Reproductive Advantage Game Board

Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection 500 - Answer Natural selection is one way of how evolution works. Evolution is how species change over time (generally due to natural selection). Game Board

Evidence of Evolution 100 - Answer Many answers could be correct – as long as it is a characteristic that increases the survival and reproductive success of that animal. Ex: stripes of a tiger to make it more camouflage, the long legs of an ostrich to increase speed, etc. Game Board

Evidence of Evolution 200 - Answer When populations are separated by barriers such as rivers or mountains. They become isolated and will eventually evolve into separate species. Game Board

Evidence of Evolution 300 - Answer Homologous structures - From a common ancestor Game Board

Evidence of Evolution 400- Answer Analogous structures - They appear to be similar on the outside, but are different on the inside structurally (anatomically). They did NOT evolve from a common ancestor. Game Board

Evidence of Evolution 500 - Answer Fossil record Comparative anatomy (homologous structures AND vestigial structures) Comparative embryology Comparative Biochemistry (DNA) Geographic Distribution ***Why is each evidence for evolution??? Be specific (I’m leaving this one up to you ) Game Board

Shaping Evolutionary History 100 - Answer Random chance (NOT due to natural selection) - Natural disaster could wipe out a large portion of the population, or overhunting (elephant seals), or a small group moves away Game Board

Shaping Evolutionary History 200 - Answer Disruptive selection Game Board

Shaping Evolutionary History 300 - Answer Directional Selection Game Board

Shaping Evolutionary History 400 - Answer Speciation - A new species evolves because they eventually evolve enough changes that they no longer reproduce with the original population. Game Board

Shaping Evolutionary History 500 - Answer Adaptive radiation – new species evolve from a common ancestor (branching tree), generally rapid growth as the organisms adapt to new conditions Convergent evolution – unrelated species evolve similar adaptations (analogous structures), but they do not share a common ancestor Game Board

The ability to survive and reproduce MISC 100 - Answer The ability to survive and reproduce Game Board

Punctuated equilibrium MISC 200 - Answer Punctuated equilibrium Game Board

MISC 300 - Answer Vestigial Structures Game Board

MISC 400 - Answer Adaptive radiation Convergent evolution Game Board

MISC 500 - Answer C. Though disruptive selects for the shortest AND longest necks, it is the only graph shown that does select for short necks. Stabilizing stays stable (middle lengths). The directional graph moves in the direction of the longer necks. Game Board
