9. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD June Question #1... Based on the graph, which month had the lowest precipitation? AugustSeptember July 50/50 A CD B

10. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Survival of the fittest Question #2... When a farmer breeds only his or her best livestock, the process involved is Acquired characteristics Artificial selection Natural selection A CD B 50/50

11. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Possession of adaptations developed through use Question #3... According to Darwin's theory of natural selection, individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for the environment. Their survival is due to the: Possession of inherited adaptations that maximize fitness Choices made by plant and animal breeders Lack of competition within a species A CD B 50/50

12. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Physical or geographical Question #4: An adaptation is an inherited characteristic that can be Physical or behavioral The result of artificial selection Aquired during the organism's lifetime A CD B 50/50

13. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD diversity Question #5... Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment: adaptation evolution fitness A CD B 50/50

14. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Examples of fossils Question #6... In humans the pelvis and femur, or thigh bone, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in the figure below are : The result of natural selection Vestigial structures Acquired traits A CD B 50/50

15. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD The needs of the organisms Question #7... The number and location of bones of many fossil vertebrates are similar to those in living vertebrates. Most biologists would probably explain this fact on the basis of: a common ancestor The inheritance of acquired traits The struggle for existence A CD B 50/50

16. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Evidence that Earth was thousands of years old Question #8... Charles Darwin viewed the fossil record as : Interesting but unrelated to the evolution of modern species Evidence that traits are acquired through use or disuse A detailed record of evolution A CD B 50/50

17. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD The same kind of embryos Question #9... The same kinds of cells that grow in similar patterns in different but unrelated organisms produce: Descent with modification Homologous structures such as wings and arms Natural variations in a population A CD B 50/50

18. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Transmission of acquired characteristics Question #10 : Which concept is not included in the modern theory of evolution? Natural selection Competition among the member of a population Descent with modification A CD B 50/50

19. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Polygenic trait Question #11... A change in sequence of DNA is called a RecombinationSingle gene trait mutation A CD B 50/50

20. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Mutations from chemicals. Question #12... Gene shuffling includes the independent movement of chromosomes during meiosis as well as Changes in the frequencies of alleles Crossing over Mutations from radiation A CD B 50/50

21. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Chance Events Question #13... Which of the following is not a way in which natural selection affects the distribution of phenotypes? Stabilizing Selection Disruptive Selection Directional Selection A CD B 50/50

22. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Prevents interbreeding within each population Question #14... The geographic isolation of two populations of a species tends to increase differences between their gene pools because it : Causes temporal isolation of the two populations Increases differences in courtship behavior Prevents interbreeding between the populations A CD B 50/50

23. Template by Bill Arcuri, WCSD Speciation n Question #15... The Galapagos finch species is an excellent example of Stabilizing selection Selection on single –gene traitsn Genetic equilibrium A CD B 50/50
