Evolution

Question 1

It refers to a change in characteristics of population of organisms over time

Answer 1

Evolution

Question 2

It will continue as long as organisms are born, die, and compete for resources they need to survive

Answer 2

Evolution

Question 3

Evidences of Evolution

Answer 3

• Fossil Records
• Comparative Anatomy
• Embryonic Development
• Genetic Information

Question 4

These are preserved remains of an organism. The most common are bones, seeds, shells, and pollen grains.

Answer 4

Fossil

Question 5

This is the process wherein scientists use fossils to reconstruct the complete structure of the organisms.

Answer 5

Fossil Reconstruction

Question 6

This is a type of fossil wherein minerals in mud and sand replace the hard parts of an organism

Answer 6

Petrified Fossil

Question 7

This type of fossil is formed when soft, thin body structures leave impressions on soft sediment such as mud

Answer 7

Imprints

Question 8

This type of fossil is formed when an organism is buried by sediments then later harden into rock

Answer 8

Molds and Casts

Question 9

This type of fossil is considered as marks or evidence of animal activities

Answer 9

Trace Fossils

Question 10

This type of fossil is formed when it is
preserved in sedimentary rock and is formed with more organic material most commonly in environments where fine sediment is deposited

Answer 10

Compression

Question 11

It states that in a series of sedimentary rock layers, the younger rocks normally lie on top of older rocks

Answer 11

Law of Superposition

Question 12

According to law of superposition, life moved from one environment to another. What are the environment involved?

Answer 12

Life moved from an aquatic environment to terrestrial one

Question 13

This is used to determine the absolute age of rocks and fossils by examining the elements they contain

Answer 13

Radioactive Dating

Question 14

This is the interval of time required for one-half of the atomic nuclei of a radioactive sample to decay

Answer 14

Half-life

Question 15

It is a radioactive isotope that is commonly used to date the remains of living things

Answer 15

Carbon-14

Question 16

What is the half-life of a carbon-14?

Answer 16

5730 years

Question 17

It is a process wherein the age of rock is compared to the other rock layer

Answer 17

Relative Dating

Question 18

This involves the study of the similarities and differences in the structures of different species.

Answer 18

Comparative Anatomy

Question 19

It refers to the body parts of an organisms that may perform different functions but of the same origin.

Answer 19

Homologous Structure

Question 20

Species grew from the same ancestor

Answer 20

Divergent Evolution

Question 21

It refers to body parts of an organism that may perform the same function but of
different origin.

Answer 21

Analogous Structure

Question 22

It refers to the evolution in different lineages of structures that are similar or ‘analogous’, but that cannot be attributed to the existence of a common ancestor; in other words, the fact that the structures are analogous does not reflect homology.

Answer 22

Convergent Evolution

Question 23

These are organs which are developed in an organism but seems to have no particular function on it.

Answer 23

Vestigial Organs

Question 24

It refers to the portion of the life cycle that begins just after fertilization and continues through the formation of body structures, such as tissues and organs.

Answer 24

Embryonic Development

Question 25

It refers to the similarity of their DNA sequence as basis in producing
amino acids

Answer 25

Biochemical Analysis
