Poll

Do you believe in Evolution?

Yes

Maybe?

Open Ended

How do you feel about this image? Do you think it is accurate?

Type response here

Fill in the Blanks

Multiple Choice

The study of relationships between different animals is

Phylogeny

Evolution

Macroevolution

Dichtomous

Natural selection is a process in which organisms better suited to their environment are able to survive and reproduce more offspring

Open Ended

What does "survival of the fittest" mean?

Type response here

These favorable traits and characteristics are then passed on to their babies through a process called inheritance.

Genes/DNA

Multiple Choice

How do favorable traits get passed on?

Through reproduction.

Through death of the weak offspring.

Taxonomy.

Mutations

Multiple Choice

All organisms share a common ancestor. (according to evolution)

True

False

Multiple Choice

What is macroevolution

the hypothesis that processes of evolution transforms over a long period of time

the hypothesis that processes of evolution transforms over a short period o time

Multiple Choice

Genetic fitness means that an organism's ability to do what is high?

lift weights really well

reproduce effectively

attract other members of their species

survive environmental disasters

Multiple Choice

A process that is driven by the following factors: the production of a large number of offspring; natural variation within a population; limited resources and the struggle for

survival; and selection by the environment for those traits that enable the individual to survive and reproduce.

natural selection

adaptation

mutation

artificial selection

Dropdown

species concept – determines species based on genetics and DNA sequences.

species concept – Organizes species based on their observable traits.

species concept – Categorizes animals based on how their role in environment

Draw

Highlight the lines that have the same nucleotide.

Multiple Choice

According to phylogenic species concept who is the most closely related to us?

Ape

Chimp

Orangutan

Cucumber

Multiple Choice

What must happen for a population to speciate?

Reproductive Isolation

Oceanic Seperation

Adapative Mutation

Special Undualtion

Match

Match the following

Moutains seperate Donkely and Horse Populations.

Adaptive Radiation

Geographic Isolation

Reprodutive Isolation

Natural Selection

Categorize

Options (7)

A bird prefers blue birds to red birds

This fly has genetalia that only matches with certain flies in its population.

Genentic mutation does not alow certain species to mate.

Plate tectonics pushes to land masses apart.

People with large lungs have higher survivablity rates.

A highway divides a forest and animals have a hard time crossing.

A river changes course and creates an island.

Match the forms of isolation to the correct type of speciation:

Sympatric Speciation

Allopatric Speciatoin

Multiple Choice

A horse and a donkey reproduce and create a mule. The mule is not fertile. Is it a species?

Yes, it is a hybrid.

No, It cannot reproduce.

No, it is a hybrid.

Yes, and cannot reproduce.

EWW he likes trap music. I only listen to country.

Offspring died after a month

Mules are reliable but their line ends with them.

The offspring were able to reproduce, but their children were all infertile.

The humans on Mars eventually became something entirley unhuman...

Match the scenarios and to the correct barrier.

Postzygotic

Categorize

Options (8)

Animals evolve different adaptations due to changing environments.

Organisms evolve simliar characteristics due to simliar environments.

Two related species follow simliar patterns of change.

Species changes involve another species causing a dependency.

Martch the images and definitions to the correct column.

Divergent Evolution

Convergent Evolution

Parallel Evolution

Co-evolution

Multiple Choice

When a new species is formed from a pre existing species this is known as?

Extinction

Speciation

Gene flow

Genetic Drift

Multiple Choice

What type of evolution occurs when there is a sudden, rapid change then no change for a long time?

Co-Evolution

Punctuated Equilibrium

Divergent Evolution

Convergent Evolution

Multiple Choice

Evolution occurring gradually and slowly over long periods of time

Homeostasis

Stasis

Punctuated Equilibrium

Gradualism

What are ADAPTATIONS ?

In biology, an "adaptation" is a heritable trait that allows an organism to better survive and reproduce in its environment, developed through natural selection over generations, and can manifest as a structural characteristic, physiological function, or behavior that enhances its fitness within its ecological niche.

Multiple Choice

The colors & patterns on a turtles shell help it blend in with the forest floor. This is:

hibernation.

behavior.

migration.

camouflage.

Multiple Choice

Some animals are able to copy other animals in order to look more dangerous to get away from predators. What is this called?

Hibernation

Camouflage

Mimicry

Migration

Multiple Choice

Which is an example of a learned behavior?

blinking

riding a bike

swallowing

crying

Multiple Choice

animal behaviors that are passed from the parent to the offspring

imprinting

instinctive behavior

learned behavior

mimicry

Multiple Choice

This occurs when body activity is greatly reduced during cold seasons in order to conserve food stored in the body:

sleep

hibernation

mimicry

grouping

Multiple Choice

An organisms with the “best” traits (adaptations) will live longer and

reproduce more than others, causing changes in the population over time by acting on traits that are heritable

Evolution

Natural Selection

Fitness

Variation

Multiple Choice

When unrelated species evolve similar characteristics because they live in similar

environments

Divergent Evolution

Speciation

Convergent Evolution

Punctuated equilibrium

Multiple Choice

Occurs when two populations of organisms form a specialized relationship and thus change in response to each other

Convergent Evolution

Punctuated equilibrium

Coevolution

Speciation

Multiple Choice

similar structures that suggest evidence of common ancestry

Analogous structues

Homologous structures

Vestigial structures

Natural Selection

Multiple Choice

What is the study of the form of living things?

Embryology

Paleontology

Morphology

Biogeography

Multiple Choice

What happens when species produce too many offspring?

Species share the limited resources

Species eat less so that all can survive

Only those that are least fit can survive

Only those that are best fit can survive

Multiple Choice

Which of the following must happen for a new species to evolve?

Isolation

Adaptation

Differentiation

Multiple Choice

___ are mistakes in the DNA that cause variation within a species.
