14
$500 Question: A little child catches a fly and pulls its wings off. The fly actually lives a better life, but does not pass its lack of wings on to its offspring because the loss of wings is an _________ _______. Answer: Acquired Trait Natural Selection

17
$300 Answer: Camouflage Question : When an organism matches its surroundings in order to hide, this is an example of what type of adaptation? PrimatesAdaptations
18
$400 Question: When an organism chooses not to mate with another type of the same species it is this type of speciation? Answer: Behavioral PrimatesAdaptations
19

21
$200 Question: Give an example of a structure that is homologous to a cat’s paw. Answer: Answers vary. Dog’s paw, human arm, bat wing, whale flipper Evidence for Evolution
22
$300 Question: Give the definition of an homologous structure. Answer: Body parts that have different development but similar structure Evidence for Evolution
23
$400 Question: When two organisms share a similar DNA sequence, what does that tell scientists? Answer: they are closely related Evidence for Evolution
24
$500 Question: In embryology, when the embryos are very similar to each other, this means… ? Answer: the organisms had a common ancestor Evidence for Evolution

27
Misc.$300 Question: Organisms that look alike and can reproduce are called this. Answer: A species
28
Misc.$400 Question: Why was the appearance of autotrophs on earth so important to life as we now know it? Answer: they produced oxygen that built up in our atmosphere
29
Misc.$500 Question: Why, in evolutionary terms, would it be beneficial for new individuals to come into a population? Answer: Gene flow brings in new DNA, which brings about evolution.

Final Jeopardy Topic Evolution
31
Final Jeopardy Question Gazelles on the African plains are often hunted by the top predators. Over time, the gazelles have evolved to have very large eyes on either side of their head and very large ears. –How do their eyes and ears factor into their survival? –Explain how, through Natural Selection, gazelles have evolved to have these kind of eyes and ears.
32
Final Jeopardy Answer The eyes on either side of the head help them to see the predators coming from all directions. The large ears help them to hear the predators. Over time, the gazelles that had poor hearing and vision were killed off. Those with better vision and hearing survived to pass those traits on to their offspring.
