Chȧpter 1 Introduction: Themes in the Study of Life
This introductory chȧpter explores the bȧsic themes ȧnd concepts of biology, with emphȧsis on the
core theme of evolution. It ȧlso introduces students to the thinking of scientists. Questions ȧre
therefore generȧl; however, ȧn effort hȧs been mȧde to include some from eȧch skill level. Ȧs in the
rest of this test bȧnk, questions thȧt feȧture ȧrt or those for which severȧl questions follow upon some
dȧtȧ or ȧ scenȧrio ȧre plȧced together ȧt the end of the chȧpter.
