Question 1

is a kind of change that happens through a long period of time

Answer 1

Evolution

Question 2

n happens when there is a change in the genetic make-up of a particular population
over time and this population exhibits inbreeding and is living within a limited area.

Answer 2

Biological evolution

Question 3

on the other hand refers to a kind of changes that occur within a cultural tradition
and way of life that leads to its development or progress.

Answer 3

Cultural evolution

Question 4

The concept of refers to the creation of everything including all creatures that walk the
earth. According to the concept, there is an ultimate Designer that imprinted an to all
creation.

Answer 4

intelligent design

Question 5

is man’s ability to logically or systematically analyze different situations and in turn inferring
from certain set of premises a logically valid conclusion to answer a particular issue or address a specific
problem.

Answer 5

Rationality

Question 6

is characterized as the science of the life.

Answer 6

Biology

Question 7

is a mechanism to classify different life forms according to a measurement of
perfection.

Answer 7

chain of being

Question 8

Is a mode of classifying organisms by looking closely at their physical characteristics.

Answer 8

Taxonomy

Question 9

is a classifying system developed by Carolus Linnaeus that classifies different
organisms having similar characteristics into one category.

Answer 9

Linnaean hierarchy

Question 10

means that the earth is very old and that gradual changes occur within its
geophysical structure on a consistent basis. These changes in the geologic structure of the earth were
brought about by a steady array of natural forces such as strong winds, pressure, heat and rain.

Answer 10

Uniformitarianism

Question 11

is a theory which was based on the biblical account that forces directed by supernatural
powers are the ones responsible for shaping the earth.

Answer 11

Catastrophism

Question 12

means new species are not created outright but are descendants of older species. In
this manner, species having the same characteristics descend from other earlier life forms having the
same characteristics.

Answer 12

Common descent

Question 13

means that the specie having the most efficient characteristic will continue to survive and will best other species having less efficient traits.

Answer 13

Natural selection

Question 14

means that an entire population of a specie have all died out living no room for reproduction.

Answer 14

Extinct

Question 15

The theory of means that the characteristics of parents will blend in the offspring
erasing the original characteristic forever.

Answer 15

blending inheritance

Question 16

are traits that come out whenever paired with a recessive trait.

Answer 16

Dominant traits a

Question 17

on the other hand are traits that will not surface out if paired with a dominant trait but
will surely resurface when paired with another recessive

Answer 17

recessive trait

Question 18

is the actual genetic make-up an individual:

Answer 18

Genotype

Question 19

is an observable trait

Answer 19

Phenotype

Question 20

are threadlike configurations that carry the cell’s genetic information.

Answer 20

Chromosomes

Question 21

is the basic unit of heredit

Answer 21

gene

Question 22

basically occurs once the DNA was not successful in replicating itself

Answer 22

Mutation

Question 23

is considered to be the building blocks of chromosomes. They are the
chemical substances that make-up chromosomes.

Answer 23

Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA

Question 24

are mutations that occur in neutral circumstances or purely by chance.

Answer 24

Spontaneous mutations

Question 25

are environmental factors that cause mutation

Answer 25

Mutagens

Question 26

happens when random events cause changes in the population gene pool over a
long period of time.

Answer 26

Random genetic drift

Question 27

is the short term changes in the genes of a generation of a particular species to the next
one.

Answer 27

Microevolution

Question 28

on the other hand occurs over very long periods of time and has the effect of changing
entirely both the genetic make-up and physical attributes of an organism.

Answer 28

Macroevolution

Question 29

which is the statistical study of the changes in a population’s gene pool as it is
inherited from one generation to another.

Answer 29

Population genetics
