Questions and CORRECT Answers
evolution - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- living things change over time
natural selection - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- explains process of descent with modification
(strongest live out weak creating stronger proceeding generation)
fossils prove 2 things... - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- 1. life on earth is very old
2. living things have changed over time (some not so much)
"connectedness" in fossils - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- theory explaining observations that
don't make sense in terms of natural causes.
why whales today have pelvic bone, b/c ancestors had back legs
Louis Pasteur famous for... - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -experiment on spontaneous
generation of living things

an _____________ of some phenomenon in nature leads to a ________. A _________ is a
tentative answer to that question. ___________ that come from the hypothesis(if, then...) are
tested with data obtained from additional observations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
observation, question
hypothesis, prediction
a theory is a... - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- multiply-tested and well supported hypothesis
process of science - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- an observation leads to a hypothesis that
leads to a test
scientific theories are ________ and make __________ predictions; describe particular

only _________ alleles, not _________ are expressed in the phenotype - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- dominant, recessive

sex linkage explains why - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- some phenotypes occur more
frequently in one sex.
A recessive allele on the x, from mom, can't be masked by dominant allele on Y from dad
example of discrete traits - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- widow's peak, eye color
controlled by one or few genes
