Questions With Correct Answers
Biodiversity |
what |are |some |observations? |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |variation |of |life |at |all |levels |of |
biological |organization
-Rich |biodiversity |in |nature
-Pattern |of |shared |characteristics
-Organisms |suited |for |life |in |their |local |environments
example: |body |size, |bill |size, |bill |shape, |diet, |vocals
the |unity |of |life |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Shared |characteristics |among |different |species |
illustrate
Evolution |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-change |in |the |genetic |composition |(allele |frequencies) |of |a |
population |from |generation |to |generation |
-variation |in |traits
-population |(smalled |size |that |can |evolve)
-time/temporal
Plato |and |Aristotle |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Whose |theory |was...
-species |are |immutable |and |unchanging
-focus |on |interspecific |variation
Linnaeus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-whose |theory |was |binomial |nomenclature?
Georges |Cuvier |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--founder |of |paleontologist
, -extinctions |have |occurred
-catastrophism |(successive |creations, |not |evolution
James |Hutton |& |Charles |Lyell |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--geologists
-Gradualism |(gradual |changes |can |accumulate)
-Uniformitarianism |(same |processes |acting |today)
-influenced |darwins |thinking |about |evolution
Darwin |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--influenced |by |geologists
-earth |is |very |old |(4.6 |billion)
-slow |processes |over |time |(substantial |change)
-species |evolve
Malthus's |Economics |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--population |growth
-population |cannot |grow |exponentially |forever
Fitness |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-contribution |of |an |individual |makes |to |the |gene |pool |of |the |
next |generation |relative |to |the |contributions |of |other |individuals
-avoiding |predators
-using |available |shelter
-attracting |mates
-metabolic |efficiency |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Which |of |the |following |factors |could |be |
considered |adaptations?
Natural |Selection |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--the |differential |survival |and |reproduction |of |
individuals |carrying |alternate |inherited |characteristics
