Evolution

Test Description: Evolution test

Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.

1) A species is a group of similar organisms that

Acan migrate to an island from the mainland. Bcan live together on an island. Call have exactly the same traits. Dcan mate with one another and produce fertile offspring.

2) A branching tree is

Aa drawing that shows where different animals live in a tree. Ba diagram showing how scientists think different groups of organisms are related. Ca species of tree that is not closely related to the other tree species. Da homologous structure that many plants have.

3) Which term refers to a species creating more offspring than can possibly survive?

Aoverproduction Bnatural selection Cevolution Dvariation.

4) How does natural selection lead to evolution?

AOverproduction provides food for stronger members of the species BStronger offspring kill weaker members of the species. CHelpful traits accumulate among surviving members of the species. DEnvironmental changes kill weaker members of the species.

5) What did Darwin infer from his observations of organisms in South America and the Galapagos Islands?

AThe organisms on the Galapagos Islands were completely unrelated to mainland organisms. BA small number of different plant and animal species had come to the mainland from the Galapagos Islands. CA small number of different plant and animal species had come to the Galapagos Islands. DThe organisms on the Galapagos Islands were identical to the mainland organisms.

6) A trait that helps an organism survive and reproduce is called a(n):

Avariation. Bmutation. Cadaptation. Dselection.

7) Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce?

Acompetition. Bnatural selection. Cvariation. Doverproduction.

8) If two organisms look very similar during their early stages, this is evidence that the orgasnisms

Aare not related. Bevolved from different ancestors. Cevolved from a common ancestor. Dhave exactly the same DNA.

9) Which term refers to similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor?

Apunctuated equilibria Bhomologous structures CDNA sequences Ddevelopmental organisms

10) Which term refers to a species that no longer has any living members?

Aextinct Bmolded Cpetrified Dfossilized

11) Scientists combine evidence from fossils, body structures, early development, and DNA and protein structures to

Adetermine which fossils are older than others Bdetermine which fossils are older than others Cdetermine what bones an animal has in its forelimbs Ddetermine whether an organism will have gills during its early development.
