time is called __________ ______
___________
6. The
ability of an organism to SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE in its environment is called

through use or disuse and pass these traits on to their offspring.
This idea is called
________ ___
_________ ______.
8. EXPLAIN
why he was incorrect.

9.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS like walrus tusks & porcupine quills or

REPRODUCE in its environment called ________ |
10. In
addition to observing living organisms, Darwin studied the preserved remains of
ancient organisms called ____________________.
11. Name the
island where Darwin observed finches, iguanas, and turtles that led to his
Theory of Evolution.
12.
A well-supported testable explanation
of phenomena that have occurred in the natural world
is called a ______________.

process in which organisms that are better suited to their environment survive
and reproduce is called ________________ ____ ____ ___________.
14. Which of
the following is NOT part of
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution?
A. Organisms in a population show a natural variation in heritable traits.
B. Organisms must compete for resources because organisms produce more offspring
than can survive.
C. Individuals best suited to their environment will survive and reproduce most
successfully passing on their traits.
D. Species alive today are descended with modification from ancestral species
that lived in the distant past.

example of #15.
17. Name the
naturalist whose ideas about evolution were similar to Darwin’s and who prompted

18. Whales
and wolves share a common ancestor but don’t look anything alike. This is an
example of __________________ evolution.

kind of distribution (like lima bean length, human intelligence, or skin
color) |
26. Match
the kind of selection with the graph shown below
 |
 |
 |
|
| A | B | C |
27. In
genetic terms, ________________ is a change in the relative frequency of alleles
in a population.
 |
28.
Name the pattern of macroevolution in which two organisms evolve in
response to changes in each other (like flowers and their pollinators) |
29. The
process by which organisms with different recent ancestors change to become more
alike because they live in the same kind of environment is called
_____________________ evolution
convergent divergent
30.
Name the pattern of macroevolution in which populations show a pattern of long
stable periods interrupted by brief periods of rapid change.
31. Name the
two mathematicians who came up with an equation to show the allele frequencies
in a population and describe evolution in populations.
32. Another
name for divergent evolution is ______________
_______________.
33. The
process by which organisms that share recent common ancestors change to become
different is called _________________________ evolution.
convergent
divergent
34. Darwin
believed that evolution HAPPENED SLOWLY OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME called
_______________
35. Evidence
suggests that at the end of the Cretaceous period an asteroid hit the Earth
causing the loss of many species including the dinosaurs. This is an example of
what pattern of evolution?
36. A
population of birds lives in an area where plants with medium sized seeds are
wiped out by a fungal infection. Birds with unusually large or small beaks would
have higher fitness than those with medium sized beaks. Over time the population
splits into two subgroups; one that eats small seeds and one that eats large
seeds.
This is an example of _______________ selection.
Disruptive
Directional Stabilizing
37. In
birds, feather color among males is more likely to attract a mate, but also more
likely to attract a predator. Over
time and many generations, the highest frequency color is for males with medium
colors, while males with very dull colors and males with very bright colors
became increasingly rare. This is an example of ________________ selection.
Disruptive
Directional Stabilizing
38. The last
test in Biology class was extremely hard. A graph of the scores shows a bell
shaped curve with the average score being a 68% D. The teacher curves the test
scores so that the new class average is a 77% C. The graph that shows this
change in the grading scale would look similar to a graph showing which kind of
selection?
