Evidence of Evolution

Multiple Choice

Which statement best describes how a virus replicates?

A virus divides into two identical virus particles before infecting the host cell.

A virus enters a host cell and uses the materials from the host cell to produce new virus particles.

Multiple virus particles fuse and form a large particle that breaks apart, releasing new virus particles.

Multiple virus particles break down in component parts, which then reassemble into new copies of the virus.

Multiple Choice

vestigial structures

DNA

homologous structures

the fossil record

Multiple Choice

Analogous structure

Vestigial organs

Functional adaption

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is an example of a vestigial structure?

the wings of a red-tailed hawk

the hind limbs of a house cat

the fins of sharks

the tailbone of a human

Multiple Choice

The diagram illustrates an embryonic stage of two organisms. Which of the following can be determined by observing the embryos shown in the diagram?

The organisms belong to the same genus.

The organisms are native to the same geographic areas.

The organisms share a common ancestry.

The organisms will grow into anatomically similar adults.

Multiple Choice

What is this an example of?

vestigial structures

embryology

homologous structures

fossil record

Multiple Choice

If two organisms have similar traits of DNA they are probably

share a common ancestor

share a common environment

share a common population

speciation

Multiple Choice

Which is not evidence for evolution?

many animals have homologous structures due to common ancestry

Many animals have vestigial structures from an ancestor

We can observe changes in life forms by observing the fossil record

All of these are evidence for evolution

Multiple Choice

A change in the inherited characteristics of an organism over time is ________

evolution.

development.

growth.

ancestry.

Multiple Choice

A cellular process is shown.Which of these is the most likely result of the process shown in the diagram?

Chromosome replication will cease to avoid errors that result in mutations.

Offspring will no longer express traits from previous generations.

Gametes will contain new allele combinations.

Chromatids will have less genetic variety.

Multiple Choice

The picture shows the members of the Camelidae family. The physical features and the geographical origin of these animals provide evidence that -

they live in the same type of environment.

have slowly evolved to become herbivores.

have a common ancestor.

exchanged DNA in the past.

Multiple Choice

What would happen if the Giraffes never evolve?

they would survive

They would thrive

They would become extinct

They will find another source of food

Multiple Choice

Two organisms that are closely related would have

very similar DNA sequence

exactly the same DNA sequences

no proteins in common

completely different DNA sequence
