3
Which type of selection is occurring in a cricket population that is changing from curved wings to flat wings? 100 points
4
Directional selection 100 points
5
The two types of genetic drift are the bottleneck effect and____________ 200 points
6
the founder effect 200 points
7
What process of natural selection favors the extreme phenotypes of a trait and eliminates intermediate phenotypes? ? 300 points
8
Disruptive Selection 300 points
9
The situation in which allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population remain constant is called 400 points
10
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium 400 points
11
Double Jeopardy
12
A change in the _______ _______ exemplifies biological evolution.
13
Gene pool
14
The allele frequencies of a population are more likely to change if 100 points a. there are no disasters b. there is no gene flow c. mating is not random d. there are no mutations
15
Mating is not random 100 points
16
“Fitness” refers to what? 200 points
17
those individuals with favorable traits survive and reproduce 200 points
18
The cheetahs have very little variation in their population. This is due in part to an ice age thousands of years ago which drastically reduced their population and more recently, it is due to poaching and habitat loss. The cheetahs loss of variation occurred as a result of ________. 300 points
19
the bottleneck effect 300 points
20
Besides mutation, what else provides variation in a population? 400 points
21
sexual reproduction 400 points
22
A horse and a donkey can mate to produce a mule. The mule is sterile and cannot reproduce. Using thisexample, explain that a horse and donkey are NOT the same species. 500 points
23
To be the same specie the offspring must be fertile 500 points
24
What is the raw material of natural selection? 100 points
25
Variation 100 points
26
200 points If a mutation introduces a new skin color in a lizard population, which of the following would determine if the frequency of that new phenotype might increase
27
Fitness of the mutation for the environment. 200 points
28
If all of the alleles for a trait are equally favorable in the environment, what happens to natural selection for that trait? 300 points
29
The trait is not selected by natural selection. 300 points
30
If a cricket population is changing from curved wings to flat wings, which wing shape should be the fittest for the environment? 400 points
31
Flat wings 400 points
32

33
According to fossil evidence, whales evolved from 4-legged ancestors. The modern baleen whale has forelimbs, but inspection of its skeleton reveals only tiny vestigial hind limbs. What is the best explanation for this loss of hind limbs in the baleen whale? 500 points
34
Random chance and genetic drift led to the reduction in size of hind limbs.
35
Structures that no longer serve their original purpose in the body are called what? 100 points
36
vestigial 100 points
37
Penguin feathers and eagle feathers are structurally similar. Penguins need feathers for warmth while eagles use them in flight. These are _____________________structures. 200 points
38
homologous 200 points
39
Which of the following indicates a recent common ancestor? a.homologous structures b.analogous structures c. flight 300 points
40
homologous structures 300 points
41
Molecular evidence in support of natural selection includes 400 points
42
the universal code of DNA 400 points
43
According to the cladogram, ferns are most closely related to? 500 points
44
Flowering plants 500 points
45
What is require of offspring if the parents are to be considered to be the same specie ? 100 points
46
They must be fertile. 100 points
47
When a species includes organisms with a great deal of variation, what happens to the chances of survival after a catastrophe? 200 points
48
It improves the chances of survival. 200 points
49
Two species of lizard are separated by the formation of a wide river. Even when the climate changes and the river dries up, the two species do not interbreed. This is ______________ isolation. 300 points
50
geographical 300 points
51
The mating dance of the blue-footed booby creates __________ isolation with other species of birds. ? 400 points
52
