EOC Review

What was Darwin's official specialty/title?
Naturalist
100
What is a REAL LIFE example of microevolution?
Antibiotic resistance, peppered moths, etc.
100
Which mechanism of macroevolution does the picture below represent?
Gradualism
100
A group of organisms have a limb with a similar structure, but the function varies. The similar structure suggests that all of these organisms had a common ancestor. What type of structure would this be?
Homologous structure
100
The study of how embryos develop.
Embryology
100
A cell is placed into a solution and shrinks. What tonicity does this solution have?
hypertonic
200
Which continents did Darwin NOT visit?
Asia, North America, and Antarctica
200
Which mechanism of microevolution would apply if an armory of aardvarks migrated to an island with another armory of aardvarks and they mixed and reproduced?
Gene flow
200
Which mechanism of evolution would Darwin NOT support?
Punctuated equilibrium
200
Which organism is the least related to the others?
Organism 2
200
The study of fossils and the fossil record.
Paleontology
200
Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate found in all plant cell walls. What is the name of this carb?
Cellulose
300
What three ways do species vary?
Locally, globally, and over time.
300
Which mechanism of microevolution would apply if a pile of ants got stepped on and a good portion of the ants with a rare allele were eliminated?
Genetic drift
300
These organisms evolved together - this hummingbird is the only species of bird that can reach the nectar inside of this tubular flower! Which mechanism of macroevolution does this represent?
Coevolution
300
A useless structure that may have been useful to a previous ancestor.
Vestigial structure
300
The study of body structures.
Anatomy
300
Insulin, keratin, myosin, and actin are all which class of biomolecule?
Protein!
400
Darwin is known as the father of what?
Evolution!
400
Favorable phenotypes that promote survival are passed on to future generations.
Natural Selection
400
This type of extinction occurs gradually due to the interference of other organisms, changes in climate, and natural disasters.
Gradual extinction.
400
Where can you find the strongest evidence for evolution?
Genes! Biochemistry! Comparing protein sequences.
400
The study of the chemical processes of living organisms.
Biochemistry
400
Which organelle aids the cell in maintaining homeostasis because it regulates what enters the cell and what leaves the cell?
Cell membrane/plasma membrane
500
What did the beak shape of Darwin's finches suggest about the finches?
That they had different diets - ate different things!
500
The body-popping sage grouse got its noise-making air sacs from what mechanism of microevolution?
Non-random mating (sexual selection)
500
Volcanic eruptions that block the sun for long periods of time and meteors hitting the Earth and causing major climatic changes would result in this type of extinction.
Mass extinction.
500
This type of record is considered incomplete because many organisms are made up of mostly soft tissue which does not preserve well over time.
Fossil record
500
The ability of an organism or population to survive and reproduce.

During which viral cycle does the viral DNA become incorporated into the host DNA to form a prophage and then remains dormant for many cellular generations...or until you procrastinate?
Lysogenic cycle
