TRUE OR FALSE: A change in the environment can affect an organism's ability to survive and may lead to natural selection
True
100
What does Homologous Structures mean?
body parts have a similar structure but different function.

200
What is an inherited behavior or physical characteristic that helps an organism survive?
A) evolution
B) species
C) adaptation
C- Adaptation
200
A variation means there is a ________ mutation
gene
200
What is survival of the fittest mean?
how well an organism can survive and reproduce in its environment
200
What is a preserved remains or traces of an organism that lived in the past?
A) fossils
B) species
C) evolution
A-fossils
200
TRUE OR FALSE: Evolution and natural selection are alike
TRUE
300
What does variation mean
any difference between individuals of the same species
300
What is the main difference between microevolution and macroevolution AND give an example of each
Microevolution: small gradual changes (birds have bigger bodies)
Macroevolution: big changes over time (dogs to wolves)
300
In the tropical rainforests, birds have evolved to eat the brightly-colored fruits. The fruits have evolved their attractive color so the birds will eat them and spread their seed.
- what is this an example of
Coevolution
300
Is a snail shell an example of a body or trace fossil and how do you know?
Body fossil because it shows what the snail looked like, not what it did
300
What is a well-tested explanation for a wide range of observations and experimental results.
A) scientific theory
B) evolution
A- scientific theory
400
The process by which modern organisms have descended from ancient organisms is...
Evolution
400
What were Darwin’s three identified factors?- multiple choice
Overpopulation
Variation
Competition
Natural selection
Adaptation
Evolution
Species
Overpopulation, variation and competition
400
What are 3 ways an animal can go extinct?
Drastic change in environment, disease, humans, climate change,
400
Put these in the correct spot for either body or trace
- snail shell, turtle dropping, mosquito in amber, dino tracks
BODY:
TRACE:
Body: snail shell and mosquito in amber
Trace: dino tracks and turtle droppings
400
TRUE OR FALSE: Lamark discovered the Theory of Evolution and Darwin developed the first attempt at a scientific theory of evolution
False- other way around
500
Which sentence describes a mutation AND how do you know:
- Diego works with a botanist to study roses and their resistance to pests and diseases
-One of the roses he examines has a flower growing in a flower
- Most roses have thorns as protection against pests.
One of the roses he examines has a flower growing in a flower because flower growing in a flower is a harmful mutation
500
What is epigenetics?
The study of small changes to DNA that turn genes on or off but do not change the genetic code itself.
500
What are the examples of homologous structures, AND how do you know?
Human, lizard, whale, bird
500
What is evidence provided by the fossil record?
that organisms can change over time
500
What are Analogous Structures?
body parts have a similar function but different structure.
