Correct Answers
evolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |transformation |of |the |life |forms |on |earth |over |time |
change |in |genes |over |time
what |kind |of |change |is |evolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-change |in |the |frequency |of |the |
alleles |of |a |population
mutation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--favors |one |allele |over |another
-creates |a |new |allele |that |is |favored
creationism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--most |popular |hypothesis |for |the |origin |of |species
-states |that |all |species |were |created |exactly |as |they |exist |today
fossils |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-preserved |remnants |or |impressions |of |an |organism |or |
something |related |to |an |organism |that |lives |in |the |past
Cuvier |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-founded |the |science |of |paleontology
catastrophism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--theory |that |states |that |the |major |changes |in |the |
earth's |crust |are |the |result |of |catastrophic |events |rather |than |gradual |process |or |change
-associated |with |cuvier
uniformitarianism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-is |the |principle |that |profound |change |is |the |
cumulative |product |of |slow, |continuous |processes...associated |with |hutton
, Lamarck's |Mechanisms |of |Change |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--use |and |disuse
-acquired |traits |can |be |passed |along |to |next |generation
Observation |1 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-populations |have |potential |for |exponential |growth
Observation |2 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-population |size |is |normally |stable
Observation |3 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-traits |are |variables |among |individuals |of |a |population
Observation |4 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-most |variable |traits |can |be |inherited
Inference |1 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-survival |is |a |struggle |and |only |a |fraction |will |survive
Inference |2 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-survival |is |no |usually |random |but |is |largely |dependent |on
|heritable |traits
Inference |3 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-unequal |survival |of |individuals |will |lead |to |a |gradual |
change |in |population
natural |selection |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--differential |success |in |reproduction |of |different |
phenotypes |resulting |in |the |interaction |of |organism |with |
their |environment
-nature |picks |the |phenotype
result |of |natural |selection |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-adaptation |of |organisms |to |their |
environment |by |genetic |makeup |resulting |in |evolution
