ROUND 2
1. Why would a population exhibit stasis?
Because they are already so well adapted to their environment, no need for a change.
2a. What type of structures are shown in the diagram (built in a similar way)? 2b. Which two are the MOST closely related?

3. 3. When did the first platypus evolve?
3. 3. When did the first platypus evolve? ~225 Million years ago

ROUND 3
1. Why are the species on different sides of the Wallace line so different but species on the same side are so similar?
Closely related organisms tend to be closer together living in similar environments.
2. The chart below shows percentages of the closeness in a particular protein between species. Which organism is most distantly related to the mouse?

3. What is the strongest piece of evolutionary evidence and which biomolecule is it considered?
DNA - NUCLEIC ACID
4. This diagram of the fossil record represents changes in mollusks over millions of years. How can the pattern of change in the fossil record best be explained?
4. This diagram of the fossil record represents changes in mollusks over millions of years. How can the pattern of change in the fossil record best be explained? Mollusks were well adapted (period of stasis). A large, sudden change occurred (rapid change). After, the mollusks with the bigger shells were better adapted.
