Evolution

Who was the naturalist that traveled the world to study plants and animals?

• Albert Einstein
• Charles Darwin
• Charles Barkley
• Isaac Newton

This picture is an example of

• homologous structures
• embryological similarities
• analogous structures
• vestigial structures

Evidence for Common Ancestry includes...

• A bat wing functions in the same way as a bird wing

• A partridge is in a pear tree

• A kangaroo in Australia has a similar ecological niche to antelopes in Africa

• The pelvic structure of a reptile is similar to the pelvic bone in a mammal

Darwin wrote that organisms with traits that are best suited to the environment will ________________

• increase in number
  
• become extinct
  

Wing structures of chickens and other birds are functionally different but homologous.

• This evidence supports the theory of evolution

• This evidence contradicts the theory of evolution

Which term refers to the process by which individuals that are better suited to the environment survive and reproduce therefore passing down their genes to their offspring? 

• Evolution 
• Variation 
• Adaptation
• Natural Selection 

Homologous bone structures could be seen as evidence for common ancestry.

• True

• False

The white feathers of a snowy owl allow it to blend in with its environment during the winter months (snow). This is an example of ________________

• Species
• Environmental Change
• Adaptation
• Variation

Genetic differences between organisms of the same species

• Variation
• Adaptation
• Behavior
• Environment

The limb bones of several organisms are similar during the embryo stage, but serve different functions during the organism's adult stage. This means that the cells must have mutated only after birth.

• True

• False
