Key Point 1 - ANSWER Even the most desperate organisms share some features, suggesting that the
single, nine random process generated diversity.
True or False #1: biodiversity on earth will likely decrease in the near future. - ANSWER True! Fingerprints
of human activity, spread of an invasive species, Rapid change and global climate, habitat destruction,
Deforestation
What are the Three World Views? - ANSWER 1. Natural Evolution - Evolution by natural process2.
Theistic Evolution - Evolution guided by God3. Creation - Species created by God
True or False #3: Scientists believe in Evolution even though they currently lack evidence for the theory. -
ANSWER False! Based on know mechanisms: Natural Selection, Mutation, and Genetic Drift
Key Point 2 - ANSWER Biologists accept evolutionary theory because its predictions match observations.
True or False #4: Extreme temperatures of 2015 are sufficient evidence to conclude that Earth is
warming. - ANSWER False! Not enough data to show a trend
, Key Point 3 - ANSWER When something varies over space and time, one must compare sufficient
samples to quantify effects accurately.
What does Replicating Observations do? - ANSWER Increases reliability of pattern.
What does Controling Conditions do? - ANSWER Isolates effects of certain factors.
What does randomizing subjects do? - ANSWER Decreases risk of bias from uncontrolled factors.
What is Creationism and Catastrophism? - ANSWER All species created in six days, Earth is 6,000 years
old, species fixed, extinctions from catastrophe. Leading Biologist/ Paleontologist who championed this
science/theory/belief Georges Cuvier (1769-1832).
True or False: Unlike Wallace, Darwin did not believe that natural selection required variation among
individuals. - ANSWER False
True or False: Wallace used induction to develop a model of evolution by natural selection. - ANSWER
True
True or False: Unlike Wallace, Darwin's conceived his theory of evolution without observing species living
on islands. - ANSWER False
True or False: Both Darwin and Wallace must have assumed that differences among individuals were
passed onto their offspring. - ANSWER True
True or False: Similar to Wallace, Darwin conceived a theory of evolution by natural selection while
voyaging around the world. - ANSWER False
True or False: Both Wallace and Darwin adopted a worldview described as either naturalistic evolution or
theistic evolution. - ANSWER True
