Biological Evolution
Test Description: Questions to help prepare you for the test on Evolution.
Instructions: Answer all questions to get your test result.
1) If a homozygous black guinea pig (BB) is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (bb), what is the probability that an offspring will have black fur?
A
100%
B
50%
C
75%
D
25%
2) Individuals within a population have slightly different traits, called variations. How do variations improve the likelihood that a population will survive?
A
Variation enables the population to create new genes, which help individuals survive a significant change in their environmen
B
Variation enables individuals to produce offspring that will survive into adulthood.
C
Variation provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts in a population.
D
Variation enables individuals who are very different from the rest of the population to reproduce more successfully.
3) Put the following steps explaining the process of evolution in the correct order. Number each step appropriately (e.g. label the first step 1).
A
1. Mutations produce variation 2. It builds up in the population 3. Organisms with better variations survive 4. New species
B
1. New species 2. Organisms with better variations survive 3. It builds up in population 4 Mutations produce variations
C
1 Mutations produce variation 2 Organisms with better variations survive. 3. It builds up in the population. 4. New species.
D
1. Mutations produce variation 2. New species 3. Organisms with better variations survive 4. It builds up in the population
4) Which is a condition required for natural selection to occur in birds?
A
All organisms of the same species must have the same genetic material.
B
Humans must interfere with the breeding of organisms.
C
Species must produce more offspring than can survive.
D
Resources must be unlimited ini the natural environment.
5) Cheetahs have been very close to extinction due to over hunting. There is little genetic diversity left in their species. Which of the following is a result of the limited diversity in current cheetah population?
A
Current cheetah populations are more resistant to disease.
B
The survival rate of young cheetahs will increase.
C
Current cheetahs are less likely to adapt to environmental changes.
6) Pick two ENVIRONMENTAL factors that could impact the cheetah's survival rate.
A
New predator that eats cheetahs, Hurricane cause habitat destruction.
B
Poachers kill cheetahs for their fur and tornados.
C
Drought causing lack of drinking water, new predator introduced to environment that eat what the cheetahs eat
D
Poachers kill cheetahs for their fur and deforestation.
7) What is hot text?
A
When you write a story and it's really good people exclaim, WOW! That's some hot text!
B
No idea, does it have to do with Charles Darwin?
C
Text that is on fire!
D
Highlighting evidence in an article. It should be a sentence, not words or whole paragraphs.
8) What is a variation?
A
The variety of organisms that inhabit the Earth.
B
The differences among individuals in a population.
C
A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
D
It disguises an animal's appearance by blending in to its environment.
9) What is an adaptation?
A
It disguises an animal's appearance by blending in to its environment.
B
The differences among individuals in a population.
C
The variety of organisms that inhabit the Earth.
D
A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
10) What is natural selection?
A
It disguises an animal's appearance by blending in to its environment.
B
Change over time.
C
Survival of the fittest based off of the environment.
D
A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.

A
A characteristic that helps an organism survive and reproduce in its environment.
B
Any change in the DNA of an organism.
C
The differences among individuals in a population.
D
Change over time.
12) Which best explains the evolution of a giraffes long neck?
A
Short neck giraffes were killed off by long neck giraffes.
B
Long neck giraffes only mated with other long neck giraffes.
C
Long neck giraffes survived because they were better adapted to their environment.
D
Giraffe necks grew longer because of giraffe bone structure.
