Presentation transcript:

1. The scientific process involves… A. the acceptance of all hypotheses. B. rejection of hypotheses that are inconsistent with experimental results. C. the acceptance of only data consistent with the hypothesis. D. the acceptance of hypothesis as a fact even after subsequent non-confirmation with experimental results. E. the formulation of theories without experimentation or obtaining proof.

2. Gingko trees lose leaves every Fall season. These trees may lose their leaves in response to decreasing day length. The italicized sentence is an example of… A. deductive reasoning B. an experiment C. a hypothesis D. inductive reasoning E. a theory

3. Which of the following is a good example of hypothesis-driven research? A. You are interested in studying the effect of chocolate consumption on test grades. You hand out a chocolate bar to half of the people in the class and instruct them to eat it immediately prior to taking the test. After the test you analyze the grade distribution to see how grades were affected by chocolate consumption. B. You are interested in studying the effect of chocolate consumption on test grades. You hand out a chocolate bar to everyone in the class and instruct them to eat it immediately prior to taking the test. After the test you analyze the grade distribution to see how these grades differed from the last exam when no one ate any chocolate. C. You propose that the consumption of chocolate immediately prior to taking the biology midterm will result in a high grade. You hand out a chocolate bar to half of the people in the class and instruct them to eat it immediately prior to taking the test. After the test you analyze the grade distribution to determine if students who ate chocolate got higher grades than students who did not eat chocolate. D. You decide that the consumption of chocolate immediately prior to taking the biology midterm will impact grades. You hand out a chocolate bar to everyone in the class and instruct them to eat it immediately prior to taking the test. After the test you analyze the grade distribution to see how these grades differed from the last exam when no one ate any chocolate.

The three major domains of Life on Earth are: a.The Plants, the Animals, the Bacteria b.The Protists, the Bacteria, the eukaryotes c.The Bacteria, the Archaea, the Eukaryotes d.The Archaea, the Plants, the Animals

6. The same basic array of bones is modified to give rise to the wing of a bat and the fin of a porpoise. Such features are called… A. analogous. B. uniform. C. homologous. D. inherited. E. evolutionary modifications. 7. Organismal features that have similar structure and function but different evolutionary origins are called… A. homologous. B. analogous. C. inherited. D. uniform. E. evolutionary modifications.

Phylogenetic analysis has revealed that in vertebrates and insects, eyes are analogous, rather than homologous, structures. Interestingly, however, more recent molecular genetic analysis determined that the homeodomain protein Pax6 is a key regulator of eye development in both vertebrates and insects. 4. Analogous structures A. have the same evolutionary origin, structure and function. B. have similar functions and evolutionary origins, but differ in structure. C. have the same evolutionary origin, but now differ in structure and function. D. have similar functions, but different evolutionary origins. 5. The function of Pax6 in eye development can be viewed as an example of A. an emergent property. B. evolutionary conservation. C. comparative anatomy. D. natural selection.

Chapter VI …Organs of extreme perfection and complication. -- To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real.… Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species
