Multiple Choice
The finches on a Galapagos island changed from having large beaks to having small beaks over time due to excessive rainfall. What type of selection is this?
4
Multiple Choice
In many species of plants, plants that are too short are unable to compete with other plants for sunlight, while plants that are too tall are susceptible to wind damage. This leads to many plants evolving over time to favor the medium height plants. What type of selection is this?
5
Multiple Choice
In some salmon species, large males are able to fight for mates, while small males sneak in to fertilize eggs, but medium-sized males struggle with both strategies, leading to most male salmon to be either small or large. What type of selection is this?

An example of homologous structures
Roots of plants and fungi
Fins of fish and dolphins

Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements best explains why some species develop vestigial structures?
These structures serve an essential function in all organisms.
They were functional in ancestors but lost their usefulness over time.
They arise due to convergent evolution.
Vestigial structures are the result of environmental pressures leading to mutations.

Multiple Choice
How do homologous structures provide evidence for divergent evolution?
Homologous structures and divergent evolution are unrelated since they describe different biological processes.
Divergent evolution only occurs in extinct species, while homologous structures are found in living organisms.
Homologous structures develop randomly through genetic mutations, unrelated to evolutionary patterns.
Homologous structures result from divergent evolution, indicating that species with a common ancestor have adapted to different environments.

Multiple Choice
Which is NOT an example of convergent evolution?
Arms of humans and wings of bats
Eyes of octopi and mammals

Multiple Choice
Which of the following statements is TRUE about embryological evidence for evolution?
Embryos of different species have no structural similarities.
Embryological evidence proves that all species evolve at the same rate.
Organisms that share similar embryonic development likely share a common ancestor.
All vertebrate embryos are identical throughout development.
