  1. Evolution Pretest

  2. In birds, the pelvis and femur, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in the figure below are: • Examples of fossils • Vestigial structures • Acquired traits • Examples of natural variation

  3. Which of the following is NOT a type of isolation that could result in speciation? • Geographic • Optical • Temporal • Physical

  4. The strongest evidence for relationships among organisms is • Amino acid sequencing • Genetic drift • Vestigial structures • Comparative anatomy

  5. 4. The four species illustrated below most likely have similar limb structure because they all: • Share a common ancestor • Use their limbs for the same functions • Occupy the same level in the food pyramid • Adapted to the same environmental conditions

  6. 5. The hypothesis that species change over time by natural selection was proposed by • James Hutton • Charles Darwin • Thomas Malthus • Alfred Wallace

  7. 6. When a species disappears from the face of the earth, it is considered which of the following? • Extinction • Temporary speciation • Embryological development • Endangered species

  8. 7. James Hutton’s and Charles Lyell’s work was important to Darwin because these scientists? • Explained volcanoes and earthquakes • Explained all geologic events on Earth • Suggested that Earth was old enough for evolution to have occurred • Refuted the work of Lamarck, which was based on misunderstandings

  9. 8. According to fossil records, horses that lived 50 million years ago were smaller, weaker, & slower than modern horses. Which process is most likely responsible for the changes which led to the increased size, strength, and speed in horses? • Commensalism • Inbreeding • Migration • Natural selection

  10. 9. Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its specific environment • Diversity • Fitness • Adaptation • Evolution

  11. 10. The bottleneck effect occurs when a random event suddenly kills off a significant number of individuals within a population causing a decrease in • Isolation • Genetic variation • Stabilizing selection • None of the above

  12. Evolution Pretest Grading

  13. In humans, the pelvis and femur, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in the figure below are: • Examples of fossils • Vestigial structures • Acquired traits • Examples of natural variation
