The Theory of Evolution (Quiz) – Practice Questions & Revision Guide
Finch 4 is adapted to eat small insects that live in tiny holes. - correct answer ✔✔Darwin
observed that finches on the Galapagos Islands have different kinds of beaks.
Which conclusion is best supported by his observations?
Organisms can be classified based on similar traits. - correct answer ✔✔Which idea did
Linnaeus contribute to the theory of evolution?
Some insects in a population survive temperature changes and pass their traits on to their
offspring. - correct answer ✔✔Which is the best example of natural selection?
Carl Linnaeus - correct answer ✔✔Which scientist first named humans Homo sapiens?
The black snakes will survive and reproduce, passing on their traits to their offspring. Few
orange snakes will remain in the population. - correct answer ✔✔Suppose a species of snake is
living in a certain area. Some of the snakes in the population are black and some are orange.
Over time, the area changes and the orange snakes have a harder time blending into the
environment. This makes it difficult for the orange snakes to catch food.
According to Darwin's theory of evolution, what will most likely happen to this snake population
over time?
It occurs over many generations.
It applies to an entire population.
It happens at the genetic level. - correct answer ✔✔Which descriptions of evolution are
accurate? Select three options
It occurs within an individual's lifetime.
It occurs over many generations.
