• (B)They must live in the same environment.

• (C)They can reproduce, but their offspring are not fertile.

• (D)They can pass characteristics that they acquire during their lifetime (i.e. if they loose a limb their offspring will have a missing limb too) to their offspring

1. What must be true of two individuals of the same species?

• (A)variation

• (A)variation

• (B)adaptation

• (C)overproduction

• (D)sexual reproduction  

5. Which of the following is not a main principle of the theory of natural selection?

• (A)In artificial selection, the environment acts as the selecting agent.

• (B)In natural selection, traits that are useful to humans are inherited.

• (C)In natural selection, humans act as the selecting agent.

• (D)In natural selection, the environment acts as the selecting agent.

6. How do artificial selection and natural selection differ?

• (B)population

• (C)community

• (D)competitive group

7. What term describes all the individuals of a species that live in an area?

• (A)overproduction

• (B)variation

• (C)adaptation

• (D)fitness

8. Which term is a measure of the ability to survive and produce the most offspring?

• (A)Yes, new alleles are formed by mutagens in the environment.

• (B)Yes, natural selection changes an organism's genetic material.

• (C)No, environmental changes cause mutations.• (D)No, natural selection works only on existing

variations

9.Can natural selection cause variations?

• (A)analogous structures

• (B)middle layer

• (C)bottom layer

• (D)rock layers that have been uplifted by earthquakes

11. In which rock layer would you expect to find the most primitive fossils?

• (A)adaptation (adaptation is the process that leads to different fossils, anatomy, and embryology)

• (B)fossils

• (C)anatomy

• (C).Fish are primitive kinds of mammals.

• (D)Fish and mammals had a distant common ancestor.

13. The embryos of many kinds of animals have gill slits. Gill slits develop into gills in fish and into ears of mammals. What do these common structures indicate?

• (A) human hand and bat wing

• (B) bird wing and insect wing

• (C) human leg and horse leg

14. Which of the following are analogous structures?

• Analogous structures • Vestigial structures• Homologous structures• Embryology (evidence)• Fossil (evidence)• Bio-geography (evidence)

• Population• Species• Variation• Fitness

Definitions to know:

• What is the difference between artificial and natural selection?

• Can a single organism adapt? Does it “think” it should adapt and then adapt?

• How do variation in every population+ overpopulation lead to adaptation and decent with modification.

- What is fitness in biology?- What are four major categories of evidence for

evolution?- What is the difference between homologous,

analogous, and vestigial structures in anatomy?
