Correct answer
Question 1
pts
How does evolutionary biology contribute to conservation efforts?
By eliminating genetic variation within populations of endangered species.
By demonstrating that species never go extinct.
By preventing mutations from occurring in wild populations during environmental changes.
By making predictions about how species will respond to environmental changes and habitat loss.
Correct answer
Question 2
pts
Empirical research is very important in evolutionary biology. There are two main types of empirical
research, which could be classified as .
statistical analysis and manipulation
, mathematical modeling and systems studies
observation and manipulation
observation and theoretical biology
Correct answer
Question 3
pts
Which of the following statements would best describe a variational process of evolution, as proposed by
Charles Darwin in contrast to transformative processes?
In this process, the group changes because some factor sorts among the variants in the original group of members.
In this process, variation is not important.
In this process, the group changes because each individual member changes.
In this process, change varies between individual change and the group changing due to some factor sorting on new
variation.
Correct answer
Question 4
pts
As opposed to uniformitarianism, the approach known as catastrophism explains that Earth's geological
features are a result of:
a combination of unknown processes and known forces that have been measured and quantified.
the same geological processes currently observable, which operate over long periods of time in a slow and gradual
manner.
sudden, cataclysmic, and large-scale events.
