Both insects and bats have developed wings, but they are not closely related. This is most likely an example of a. co-evolution b. convergent evolution c. microevolution d. genetic drift
8. Genetic Isolation 9. Artificial Selection 10. Selection Pressure 11. Gene Pool 12. Natural Selection 13. Convergent evolution 14. Parallel Evolution 15. Coevolution A. When two groups of organisms differentiate enough that they can no longer interbreed B. All of a population’s or species’ genes C. An environmental factor which causes a certain trait to become more or less common D. A mechanism for change in populations (driven by the environment and differential survival) E. Breeding organisms with specific traits in order to produce offspring with desirable traits A. Occurs when unrelated species occupy similar environments in different parts of the world, and evolve in a similar way. B. When two related populations are physically separated but occupy similar niches, so evolve in a similar way. C. When two species have a very close ecological relationship and evolve together. EX: flowering plants and pollinators 16. Which scientist proposed the correct theory of how evolution takes place? a. Mendel b. Darwin c. Linnaeus d. Lamarck 17. Which scientist performed the fundamental genetic research necessary to understand evolution? a. Mendel b. Darwin c. Linnaeus d. Lamarck
18. In Artificial selection, what “chooses” the traits? a. proteins b. meiosis c. humans d. nature or the environment 19. In natural selection, what “chooses” the traits? a. proteins c. humans b. meiosis d. nature or the environment 20. Darwin was the naturalist aboard the _________________________ which sailed to the _____________________ islands. a. H.M.S Beagle; Galapagos b. H.M.S. Naturae; Galapagos c. H.M.S Beagle; Cayman d. H.M.S. Naturae; Cayman 21. If beetles have less to eat during a few months and their average size as a population changes during one generation, is this evolution? a. yes b. no 22. Which of the following is not a method to use for dating objects? a. stratigraphy b. use and disuse c. molecular clocks d. carbon dating 23. In the peppered moth activity, which moth phenotype was the most fit (survived and reproduced more) when the leaves were light? a. light moths b. dark moths 24. What adaptation allowed one peppered moth to be better suited to the environment than the other? a. mimicry b. mutation c. predation d. camouflage e. symbiosis 25. -- The above method of determining the evolutionary relationship of organisms based on their early stages of development is called embryology 26. Sample Short answer questions. Write your answers below. 27-30. Explain what is meant by survival of the fittest and how it relates to natural selection. Give a specific example about how it works. List at least two conditions necessary for natural selection to occur.
