  1. Unit #6 Quiz #5 Grade: «grade» «subject» Subject: «date» Date:

  2. 1 Which of the following is the geological time that we are currently in: A Pleistocene B Oligocene C Pliocene D Holocene

  3. 2 Which of the following is not a type of mammal that developed during the Cretaceous Period: A monotreme B marsupial C precocial D placental

  4. 3 True or False: Life began in the Cambrian Period. True False

  5. 4 Which of the following is NOT a type of migration: A daily B semi-annual C annual D generational

  6. 5 ________ of all species that have every existed are now extinct A 15% B 55% C 86% D 99%

  7. 6 During which of the following time periods did 96% of the current species die off: A Permian B Devonian C Cambrian D Quaternary

  8. 7 Mammals & avians (birds) developed during which of the following periods: A Triassic B Jurassic C Carboniferous D Cretaceous

  9. 8 During which time period did mammals radiate back to the water: A Jurassic B Cretaceous C Tertiary D Quaternary

  10. 9 The fossils of Tiktaalik roseae, a fish-like animal that crawled out of the water, is the transitional species between fish and modern tetrapods. This species existed in the __________ period. A Cambrian B Silurian C Devonian D Permian

  11. 10 Which of the following demonstrates sexual dimorphism A B D C

  12. 11 The ostracoderms (shell-skinned) were the first known vertebrates. They developed in which of the following periods: A Cambrian B Silurian C Tertiary D Ordovician

  13. 12 Which of the following can be considered an analogous structure: A The wings of butterfly & the wings of bats B The pectoral fins of ray-finned fish and the pectoral fins of cetaceans (dolphins/whales) C The hind legs of dogs and the hind legs of horses D The pectoral fin of a walrus & the pectoral fin of a dolphin

  14. 13 Leopard frogs & Wood frogs live in close proximity to each other & will often mate. The resulting tadpoles only survive a few days prior to death. This is an example of: A Reduced hybrid fertility B Increased hybrid fertility C Reduced hybrid viability D Hybrid breakdown

  15. 14 The sockeye salmon has one of nature's most dramatic generational migrations. They spend all of their life in the ocean & then migrate hundred of miles back to the streams in which they were born. This type of migration is called: A catadromous B anadromous C salt-to-fresh polyandrous migration D fresh-to-salt annual migration

  16. 15 Action & reaction to stimuli defines A Brood parasitism B Fixed action patterns C False action patterns D Animal behavior

  17. 16 During which time period did modern humans evolve to become the most dominant species on the planet: A Tertiary B Quaternary C Jurrassic D Cretaceous

  18. 17 All of the following are potential down sides of intelligence EXCEPT: A intelligence is calorically expensive B gestation of offspring is longer C intelligent organisms tend to be apex predators D offspring require more care from their parents/adults

  19. 18 Corn (maize) originally appeared like a grassy bush, but over many thousands of generations mankind created the corn that is so widely used in the United States of today. This is an example of: A Natural Selection B Diversifying natural selection C Sexual Selection D Artificial Selection

  20. 19 Using the following phylogenetic tree, the Mysticetes are most closely related to: A Hippopotamus B Pakicetus C Dorudon D Kutchicetus

  21. 20 All of the following are considered part of cognition EXCEPT: A innate behavior B problem solving C learning D conscious awareness

  22. 21 Which of the following is an example of founder effect: A A species of darker-colored mice survive predation from owls & falcons, causing the population as a whole to shift to a darker color. B A group of migratory birds stop on an island and never leave. They cease their migration & evolve into their own species. C A group of horses with long necks randomly survive a brush fire that wipes out much of the population. These long-necked horses eventually evolve into giraffes D A trolling net scoops up an entire school of anchovies, reducing the population by a small percent.

  23. 22 Homo sapiens have been on the planet for approximately: A 5,000 years B 106,000 years C 1.8 million years D 200 million years

  24. 23 Which of the following is an example of macroevolution: A Over many generations a species of mice gets darker in color due to predation from owls and falcons B Over many generations an off-shoot of catfish changes from a bottom-feeder to an aggressive hunter, no longer able to reproduce with the former catfish C Over many generations a species changes in size from large to small to better fit in with the environment D Over many generations a species of fish changes its scale color from yellow to blue

  25. 24 Consider a coral reef in the Atlantic Ocean: a species of clown fish are known to live all throughout this reef. During fishing season a large trawling net smashes the reef into three small pieces, all of which are separated by a large distance. After many generations the clown fish on the three different sections of reef become different species. This is an example of: A Allopatric speciation B Sympatric speciation C Parapatric speciation D Convergent speciation
