Which organisms are most likely to survive?

• the best adapted
• the fastest
• the strongest
• the most domesticated (tamed)

Survival of the Fittest and Evolution were proposed by what scientist?

• Charles Darwin
• Albert Einstein
• Steven Hawking
• Isaac Newton

This means the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution

• Natural Selection

• Extinction

• Artifical Selection

What was the name of the ship Darwin traveled the world on?

• HMS Beagle
• SS Beagle
• HMS Bugle
• SS Bugle

What are the most studied animals in the Galapagos?

• Finches

What is the advantage of having different shaped beaks?

• To look different from other species.
• To be able to eat the food readily available in the environment.
• To protect itself against predators.
• To protect itself against prey.

Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?

• Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
• Because they come from dominant alleles.
• Because they come from recessive alleles.
• Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.

The purpose of selective breeding is to 

• Get bigger animals
• get smaller animals
• create animals with desirable traits
• create animals with bad traits

Genotype refers to the ...

• physical expression of the genes
• the possible combination of alleles in a gene
• whether an allele is dominant or recessive
• how an organism will appear

Which of the following is a phenotype?

• BB
• Bb
• bb
• Blue eyes
