Honors Biology – Evolution Exam Study
Guide with Complete Solutions
Evolution - Answer✔️✔️-Change over time, hundreds and hundreds of years, millions.
Change in a kind of organism over time; process by which modern organisms have
descended from ancient organisms.
Is Evolution fact or theory? - Answer✔️✔️-Theory.
LaMarck - Answer✔️✔️-French naturalist who proposed that evolution resulted from the
inheritance of acquired characteristics (1744-1829).
Presented first theory of evolution,1809; Believed evolutionary changes were caused by
organisms actively adapting themselves to environmental conditions; Ideas disproved
by Weissman.
Said that acquiring traits happened during lifetimes, false.
What did LaMarck and Darwin agree on? - Answer✔️✔️-LaMarck and Darwin agreed that
the species that we have currently are related to some of the species we had before
then; new versions of older models
Words that are associated with LaMarck - Answer✔️✔️-Acquired Characteristics - use or
disuse.

Use and Disuse (use: becomes stronger; disuse: diminishes)
Inheritance of acquired characteristics (can pass modifications to off-spring)
Innate drive to become more complex
Darwin - Answer✔️✔️-A biologist who developed theory of evolution of species (1859).
He argued that all living species evolved into their present form through the ability to
adapt in a struggle for survival.
Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection in
1859, which presented evidence for evolution
Dissent with Modification - Answer✔️✔️-Darwin's definition of evolution.
Favorable traits are passed down from generation to generation will organisms with
unfavorable traits die.
Natural Selection - Answer✔️✔️-A process in which individuals that have certain inherited
traits tend to survive and reproduce at higher rates than other individuals because of
those traits.
Individuals with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive environmental
pressures and reproduce than those that don't have those traits.
