Evolution Review
2
What is the ultimate source of variation?
3
Mutations
4
What process does this picture represent?
5
Natural Selection
6
Organisms with desirable traits are more likely to survive long enough to reproduce and carry on those desirable traits. This definition describes _________________.
7
Natural Selection
8
Which Layer of rock is the oldest?
9
A
10
What type of dating fossils do scientist compare layers of rock to determine the relative age of a fossil?
11
Relative dating
12
Any change in a DNA sequence is called a ___________.
13
Mutation
14
The picture shows an example of
Homologous structures Vestigial structures Mutation An adaptation
15
B. Vestigial Structure
16
What does the picture below represent
What does the picture below represent? (evidence that all organisms evolved from a common ancestor)
17
Homologous structures
18
Who is credited with the theory of natural selection?
19
Charles Darwin
20
Comparing different organisms' skeletal structures, DNA, and embryonic structures all provide evidence that supports the theory of a. selective breeding. c. evolution. b. genetic resistance. d. species separation.
21
c. evolution.
22
Which of the following is not a mechanism that contributes to evolution?
a. genetic drift c. embryology b. mutation d. natural selection
23
c. embryology
24
Two methods of dating fossils
25
Absolute and relative dating.
26
When an individual travels to a new population and introduces new genes into that population by breeding, this is called
27
Migration (gene flow)
28
A single bacterium divides and begins a new population
A single bacterium divides and begins a new population. All resulting bacteria have identical DNA. This population has no a. Selection c. adaption b. Variation d. overpopulation
29
b. Variation
30
When an individual has a trait that helps it survive in an environment, the trait is called a(n)
31
adaptation
32
Which of these is Not a method that changes the gene frequency in populations over time?
Mutations Genetic drift Overproduction Natural selection Sexual selection
33
c) Overproduction
34
This is called ___________.
Of all the sea turtles that hatch in a year, only 1 of 10,000 will survive to adulthood to reproduce. This is called ___________.
35
Overproduction
36
When humans produce organisms with desirable traits, this is called
37
Artificial selection
38
In what type of rock are most fossils found?
39
Sedimentary rock
40
Hardened remains of organisms found in rock that provide evidence that organisms have changed over time are called
41
fossils
42
The study of looking at organisms at their embryo stages is called _____________ and suggests that all organisms evolved from a common ancestor.
43
Name four pieces of evidence that supports the theory of evolution
44
Homologous structures
Fossil Records Vestigial Structures Embryology Biochemistry
45
The situation below is an example of ________ which can cause a population to change over time.
46
Migration- An organism travels to a new population and shares it’s traits there.
47
A random process that can cause a population’s variation to change is called __________.
48
Genetic drift
49
The situation below represents what mechanism causing evolution?
1. 2. 3. 4.
50
Natural Selection 1. 2. 3. 4.
