  • False

Question 26

Question

Answer
  • grand unifying theory

Question 27

Question
Who first proposed the idea of gradualism in a geological sense?
Answer
  • Darwin
  • Hulton
  • Wallace

Question 28

Question
Lamark proposed a mechanism for how life and things change throughout time: the idea of USE AND DISUSE; that body parts used most evolve to become bigger and stronger.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 29

Question
[blank_start]Lyell[blank_end], a geologist, proposed the idea that gradualism is still happening at the same rate. He studied geological records and published "Principles of Geology."

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 31

Question
Darwin's 3 observations of nature include:
Answer
  • Unity of Life
  • Diversity of Life
  • Match between organisms & their environment; descent with modification
  • gradualism

Question 32

Question
Darwinism (the theory of evolution) consists of these major components:
Answer
  • perpetual change (always changing)
  • Common descent (living things have unified history, life comes from life)
  • Multiplication of Species (a single ancestral population can split to produce 2 or more populations, becoming different from each other)**
  • Gradualism (populations of organisms accumulate small changes over long periods of time)
  • Natural Selection (mechanism that explains how organisms appear to be designed to meet the demands of their environments "adaptation"
  • none of the above

Question 33

Question
[blank_start]Artificial[blank_end] selection is the process through which humans modify species over many generations by selecting and breeding individuals that possess desired traits.
Answer
  • Artificial

Question 34

Question
Darwin's 4 postulates are:
Answer
  • differences - individuals within a population differ from one another
  • inheritance - the differences are passed down from parent to offspring
  • some individuals are more successful at surviving and reproducing than others
  • the successful individuals are not merely luck, but succeed because of the variant traits they have inherited and will pass onto their offspring
  • gradualism
  • perpetual change
  • multiplication of species

Question 35

Question
Individuals with favorable traits will, on average, survive better than those with unfavorable traits; known as differential survival.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 36

Question
Individuals with more favorable traits will usually produce more offspring; known as differential reproduction.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 37

Question
[blank_start]Adaptation[blank_end] is an inherited characteristic of an organism that enhances their survival and reproduction in specific environments. A trait that increases an organism's fitness relative to individuals lacking it is called [blank_start]relative fitness[blank_end]; the contribution an individual makes to the gene pool of the next generation via [blank_start]reproduction[blank_end].
Answer
  • Adaptation
  • relative fitness
  • reproduction

Question 38

Question
Natural selection is the only process that can naturally create adaptation.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 39

Question
Natural selection operates on [blank_start]individuals[blank_end], selected for/against (more fit, less fit). (not an all or none process)
Answer
  • individuals

Question 40

Question
When faced with a changing environment, what options does a population have?
Answer
  • adapt (via ns)
  • move/disperse (if there is somewhere to go
  • go extinct, die

Question 41

Question
Natural selection can only act on existing variations
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 42

Question
Evolution is limited by historical constraints.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question
Adaptations are often compromises
Answer
  • True
  • False

Answer
  • Morphological
  • Biological
  • Ecological
  • Phlyogenetic

Question 48

Question

Answer
  • Morphological
  • Biological
