quiz 2 unit b

Question 1

evolution history

Answer 1

• natural selection explains how populations change over time
• NOT INDIVIDUALS *

Question 2

jean baptiste lamarck

Answer 2

inheritance of acquired characteristics
- was refuted

Question 3

alfred wallace and charles darwin

Answer 3

• theory of natural selection

Question 4

5 principles of evolution by natural selection

Answer 4

• mutations occur in DNA
• mutations can give an individual selective advantage
• natural selection can cause a change in population
• individuals who survive leave more offspring in the population
• time: happens over many generations

Question 5

divergent evolution

Answer 5

• common species gives rise to new species
• could potentially lead to a new species

Question 6

seperate species

Answer 6

cannot interbreed

Question 7

rate of change hypotheses

Answer 7

1. punctual equilibrium
2. gradualism

Question 8

punctual equilibrium

Answer 8

variation occurs in bursts of species but many gaps gust in the fossil record

Question 9

gradualism

Answer 9

slow changes are seen throughout the fossil record

Question 10

artificial selection

Answer 10

males and females are chosen to breed based on a characteristic we want

Question 11

genetically modified organisms (GMO)

Answer 11

changing the DNA

Question 12

fossils

Answer 12

rocks are formed when organic structures have been replaced by minerals

Question 13

homologous structures

Answer 13

have a common ancestor but have changed slightly to perform better in their niche

Question 14

analogous structures

Answer 14

dont have a common ancestor but look/act similarly

Question 15

vestigial structures

Answer 15

common to an ancestor but which is no longer used i the current version of a species
ex. tailbone, wisdom teeth

Question 16

embryological

Answer 16

we are all derived from a really old common multicellular ancestor
