Bio 370 Exam 1 questions well
answered
Biological Diversity: Natural Grouping - correct answer ✔✔ all organisms are added to a
hierarchy that classifies all life. (No unique species, all have relatives)
Biological Change - correct answer ✔✔ explains the change in genetic makeup and morphology
over time. (ALL species change; mammals, insects, plants)
Adaption - correct answer ✔✔ apparent good fit of an organism to a natural habitat. all
organisms experience adaptions, and none are perfectly adapted.
Vestigial Genes (Pseudogenes) - correct answer ✔✔ imperfect copy/ defunct gene in the human
genome that lost its function. Ex: wisdom teeth
Evolution explains... - correct answer ✔✔ - Diversity of Life
- Relationships between Organisms
- Change in Diversity over time
- Adaptions and Imperfections
Evolution is an observable fact and an explanatory theory for - correct answer ✔✔ - Biological
change over Time
- Descent with Modification
- Change through Natural Selection
Evolution Benefits - correct answer ✔✔ - scientific explanation for origin and diversification
, - crop and animal breeding
- manage disease spread
Evolution has NO moral implication. - correct answer ✔✔ TRUE: does not determine right or
wrong
Evolution - correct answer ✔✔ all species have common origin, but may change through time
Transformism - correct answer ✔✔ separate origins but change through time
Creationism - correct answer ✔✔ many separate creations of species. ( DO NOT CHANGE)
Microevolution - correct answer ✔✔ change on a small scale
Direct Observation - correct answer ✔✔ species and population change in nature
(change in beak size)
Experimentation - correct answer ✔✔ species and population change during experiments
-lab experiments (artificial selection)
-field experiments (snail color)
Macroevolution - correct answer ✔✔ change on a large scale
Biogeographic Distributions - correct answer ✔✔ closely related species occur in the same or in
proximal biogeographic regions. (congruent with plate tectonic)
