Grade 11 Evolution
Speciation
  1. occurs at such a slow pace that no one has ever observed the emergence of new species.
  2. occurs only by the accumulation of genetic change over vast expanses of time.
  3. must begin with the geographic isolation of a small, frontier population.
  4. and microevolution are synonymous.
  5. can involve changes to a single gene.
Grade 3 Evolution
What cannot be told by fossils?
  1. what the animal ate
  2. how the animal moved
  3. size of the animal
  4. color of the animal
Grade 10 Evolution
Which factor does NOT support Darwin's theory of evolution?
  1. fossil record
  2. homologous structures
  3. similarities in embryos
  4. differences in plants
Grade 7 Evolution
Individuals within a population have slightly different traits, or variations. How do variations improve the likelihood that a population will survive?
  1. Variation enables individuals to produce offspring that will survive into adulthood.
  2. Variation enables the population to create new genes, which help individuals survive a significant change in their environment.
  3. Variation provides the raw material upon which natural selection acts in a population.
  4. Variation enables individuals who are very different from the rest of the population to reproduce more successfully.
Grade 7 Evolution
Geography plays a role in evolution.
  1. True
  2. False
Grade 10 Evolution
Before and during Darwin's time, many theories of evolution had been proposed. With which theories would Darwin most likely agree?
  1. Malthus's theory that species and populations were limited by available resources, lack of resources, and competition, and that competition drove evolution
  2. Cuvier's theory of catastrophism, where abrupt changes and the survivors of those changes were not new species at all
  3. Lyell's theory of uniformity, where a steady, gradual, and lengthy molding of Earth and its species occurred
  4. Lamarck's theory that single, simple forms could become more complex in an individual and thereby cause heritable changes in the next generation
Grade 7 Evolution
Structures that do not seem to have a function are called
  1. irrelevant structures.
  2. homogeneous structures.
  3. vestigial structures.
  4. heterogeneous structures.
Grade 10 Evolution
Speciation is founded on the principle of genetic mutations and                                     .
  1. documented observations of genetics.
  2. established laws of genetics.
  3. speculated genetic possibilities.
Grade 10 Evolution
What is a similar structure in different species that originated in a shared ancestor?
  1. homologous structure
  2. vestigial structure
  3. fossil
  4. population
Grade 9 Evolution
Darwin’s theory of evolution suggests that
  1. species change over time.
  2. different species can interbreed.
  3. extinct species are not related to living species.
  4. animals that look alike are the most closely related.
Grade 5 Evolution
Darwin's finches (birds) developed different beaks because of
  1. what they ate.
  2. where they lived.
Grade 7 Evolution
The core idea of evolutionary "success" is oriented around
  1. intelligence.
  2. reproduction.
  3. lifespan.
  4. water.
Grade 8 Evolution
Several organisms on the Galapagos Islands have evolved into new species through what?
  1. isolation
  2. observation
  3. vestigial organs
  4. artificial selection
