Evolution

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 long and sharp beak of a woodpecker is an example of:

• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding

Where humans have bred organisms together based on traits we like.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction 
• Artificial Selection

Change over time

• Natural Selection
• Selective Breeding
• Homeostasis
• Evolution

Structures with the same parts have different functions; suggests that organisms share a common ancestry

• vestigial structures
• homologous structures
• adaptive radiation
• fossil

Where the better adapted organisms survive to pass traits along to offspring.

• Evolution
• Natural Selection
• Extinction
• Artifical Selection

Which best describes mutations?

• Always helpful
• Always harmful
• Can be helpful or harmful
• Always neutral

What does Darwin's theory of evolution suggest?

• species change over time
• extinct species are not related to living species
• different species can interbreed
• animals that look alike are most closely related

Study of embryos of various organisms to show a common ancestor because of similarities in development

• natural selection
• embryology
• speciation
• evolution

The difference in the physical traits of an individual from those of other individuals in a group is called a(n)

• change
• adaption
• species
• variation
