Evolution Pretest
1. In birds, the pelvis and femur, are involved in walking. In whales, the pelvis and femur shown in the figure below are:
a)Examples of fossilsb)Vestigial structuresc) Acquired traitsd)Examples of natural
variation
2. Which of the following is NOT a type of isolation that could result in speciation?
a) Geographicb) Opticalc) Temporald) Physical
3. The strongest evidence for relationships among organisms is
a) Amino acid sequencing
b) Genetic driftc) Vestigial
structuresd) Comparative
anatomy
4. The four species illustrated below most likely have similar limb structure because
they all:a) Share a common
ancestorb) Use their limbs
for the same functions
c) Occupy the same level in the food pyramid
d) Adapted to the same environmental conditions
5. The hypothesis that species change over time by natural selection was proposed by
a) James Huttonb) Charles Darwinc) Thomas Malthusd) Alfred Wallace
6. When a species disappears from the face of the earth, it is considered which of the following?
a) Extinctionb) Temporary
speciationc) Embryological
developmentd) Endangered
species
7. James Hutton’s and Charles Lyell’s work was important to Darwin because these scientists?
a) Explained volcanoes and earthquakesb) Explained all geologic events on Earthc) Suggested that Earth was old enough for
evolution to have occurredd) Refuted the work of Lamarck, which was
based on misunderstandings
8. According to fossil records, horses that lived 50 million years ago were smaller, weaker, & slower than modern horses.
Which process is most likely responsible for the changes which led to the increased
size, strength, and speed in horses?
a) Commensalismb) Inbreedingc) Migrationd) Natural selection
9. Charles Darwin called the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in its specific environment
a) Diversityb) Fitnessc) Adaptationd) Evolution
10. The bottleneck effect occurs when a random event suddenly kills off a significant number of individuals within a population causing a decrease in
a) Isolationb) Genetic variationc) Stabilizing selectiond) None of the above
