Some current species share one or more traits. C) homologies
These species inherited these traits from a
common ancestor they share. The shared traits
inherited from a common ancestor are:
A) evolution
B) alleles
C) homologies
D) All of the above
Charles Darwin described the change in traits that C) evolution
occurs in a population over generations as
"Descent with modification" as:
A) Transcription
B) splicing
C) evolution
D) translation

, Charles Darwin described evolution as "Descent B) traits expressed by the descents of an ancestral population differ from those of the ancestral
with modification" because the: population
A) traits expressed by the descents of an ancestral
population are identical to those of the ancestral
population
B) traits expressed by the descents of an ancestral
population differ from those of the ancestral
population
Charles Darwin described the biological change A) adaptations that increase the ability to reproduce in the current environment
that occurs in species over generations as -adaptation: a trait that increase the ability to reproduce in its current environment.
"descent with modification". These changes occur
because they are-
A) adaptations that increase the ability to
reproduce in the current environment
B) adaptations that decrease the ability to
reproduce in the current environment
The shell of all seven species of a sea turtle is D) shell
considered a homology. This is because these sea
turtles shared a common ancestor that had a:
A) Fur
B) Teeth
C) Fingers
D) Shell
Which hypothesis accounts for the identical traits B) the common ancestor of all these species had these traits
that all the elephant-like species share?
A) these traits evolved independently in each
species fossil record
B) the common ancestor of all these species had
these traits
C) Traits are not inherited characteristics
Which line of evidence shows that biological D) All of the above
change in populations has occurred over
generations?
A) the fossil record
B) the significant changes in phenotype of
domesticated animal and crops
C) Drug resistance in many pathogen populations
