Evidence of Evolution

Which is the best evidence listed for the theory of evolution

• fossil record

• climate change

• numerical data

• religious information

Which statement is correct about the evidence in this picture?

• similar bones indicate a similar diet

• similar bones indicate a similar habitat

• similar bones indicate a common ancestor

• similar bones indicate evolution happened quick

What is the most likely cause for the change in the mice population over time?

• hawks eat more dark mice because they taste better

• hawks eat more white mice because they are easier to see

• hawks eat more dark mice because they are easier to see

• hawks eat more white mice because they reproduce better

The same species lives in the same area and have different appearances. What term can be used to describe this?

• overpopulation

• population

• extinction

• variation

Polar bears live in the Arctic. Ice in the Arctic in melting rapidly, reducing the range in which the polar bear can live. If polar bears do not have adaptation that allow them to survive these changes, what might happen to them?

• become another speices

• overpopulation

• change the enviornment

• become extinct

A reptile that is a herbivore and exists only on an isolated island. What is a reason they would go extinct?

• produces many offspring with many unique traits, and the environment does not change

• produces many offspring with few unique traits, and the environment changes

• produces few offspring with many unique traits, and the environment does not change

• produces few offspring with few unique traits, and the environment changes

Which statement best explains adaptations in context of the Theory of Evolution.

• adaptations are critical to the survival of a species by providing ways to adjust

• adaptations allow a single surviving organism to choose its traits and then reproduce

• adaptations are when an organism changes is environment to make it easier to live

• adaptations allow organisms to learn how to survive in any environment

A Koala eats a certain type of leaf from a Eucalyptus Tree. These trees are becoming less and less common. What will happen if the Koala can't adapt to a new food source?

• The Koala population may increase as the strongest ones survive and reproduce

• The Koala bear may become extinct if they can not find new food to eat

• the Koala population will stay the same as long as they stay in a restricted space

• The Koala bear's genes will immediately change and allow them to survive

Which of the following is a correct statement about the relationship between natural selection and evolution?

• Natural selection results from evolution.

• Natural selection includes evolution as a part of it.

• Natural selection is the mechanism of evolution.

• Natural selection and evolution are the same thing.

Artificial selection is a form of biotechnology that has been around for centuries. Which of the following is a positive aspect of artificial selection?

• It ensures that weak traits like disease tendency are not in a population.

• It ensures that human-preferred traits are available in animals and plants.

• It increases the speed of evolution and change in the human population.

• It increases genetic variation among a population of organisms.
