Evolution
What evolutionary evidence demonstrates that organisms with different functions can have similar developmental stages
What is embryology
What contribution did Linnaeus make to our classification system?
Naming system (binomial nomenclature)
The most modern and accurate way to determine evolutionary relationships
What is biochemical/DNA
Give an example of natural selection
What is pocket mice, Darwin's finches, Galapagos turtles
Describe a scenario where geographic isolation could lead to the formation of a new species.
A population of animals living on one side of a river becomes separated when the river changes course. Over time, the two groups adapt to their different environments and eventually become distinct species unable to interbreed.
What is an example of divergent evolution?
Sharks and dolphins having similar body shapes
Darwin's finches developing different beak shapes
Bacteria becoming resistant to antibiotics
Moths changing color to match tree bark
What is Darwin's finches developing different beak shapes
This is the last point of natural selection.
What is organisms with beneficial traits will reproduce and pass those traits on.
This type of evolution occurs when two similar organisms develop into two different species
What is divergent evolution
A new mating song cause two birds to no longer mate. This is called __________ isolation.
What is behavioral isolation
In a population of moths, some are light-colored and others are dark. If pollution darkens tree bark, what would likely happen over time?
What is dark-colored moths would become more numerous due to better camouflage
When does coevolution occur?
What is two species evolve in response to each other
What is the main purpose of a cladogram?
To display evolutionary relationships
What evolutionary evidence demonstrates that organisms with different functions can have similar developmental stages
What is similar bone structures across different species
How is antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an example of natural selection?This is the first step of natural selection
What is antibiotic resistance in bacteria is an example of natural selection because bacteria that have mutations allowing them to survive antibiotic treatment will reproduce and become more common in the population over time.
What are two ways organisms can become isolated?
what is geographic and reproductive
How many kingdoms of classification are there today?
What is six kingdoms?
Which tool would you use to identify an unknown species of plant?
Dichotomous key
