• Embryology

• Vestigial Organs

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

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

The picture shows the fossil of Archaeopteryx. Does this fossil support the theory of evolution?

• yes, because it is a complete fossil and only complete fossils can be used to prove the theory of evolution

• yes, because it shows evidence of feathers, indicating that it might be a distant relative of birds

• no, because it is so different that it cannot be compared to any modern day organism

• no, because it dates back more than one hundred million years ago beyond the scope of dating techniques

What happens when a species is unable to adapt to a changing environment?

• it will adapt and become a new species

• it will most likely go extinct

• it will not adapt but will keep on living

• it will move to a new area where it can live

The body structures for a population of chimpanzees were stable for a long time. Then, their body structures changed, making the chimpanzees stronger. Why did this happen?

• Organisms naturally become stronger over time.

• It is impossible to say without more information.

• The chimpanzee population wanted to be stronger.

• Their environment must have changed.
