Game will end if you make three mistakes, and you will need to start over. by Kristine Vester 1 The diagram shows the evolution of whales from a land organism. What is the best explanation for this occurrence? a Mutations occurred that have been inherited that allowed whales to live in the water. b The Earth lost most of its water which made the land organisms more successful. c The Earth became completely covered with water which made the land organism grow fins to swim in the water. d A land organism reproduced with an ocean organism which led to the evolution of the whale. 2 Similarity in the skeletal structures of whales, cats, bats, and humans leads to the conclusion that they a belong to the same order of mammals b descended from a common ancestor c originated in the same environment d have the same chromosome number 3 According to the chart, which organism is most closely related to humans? a Lamprey b Frog c Rhesus Monkey d Gorilla 4 The diagram represents the distribution of fossils in undisturbed layers of rock. Which of the following statements would be the best conclusion that can be made from this evidence? a The organism in layer F lived most recently b The organisms in layer E lived at the same time c The organism in layer A lived 65 million years ago d The organism in layer C lived before the organism in layer D 5 Look at the graphic: What is the best conclusion one can draw from the graphic? a The white population of beetles increased from the resistance of pesticides. b White beetles and black beetles evolved in different locations due to available resources or changes in the environment. c A decrease in the reproduction of the white species of beetle led to its extinction. d White beetles were poorly suited for their environment. 6 The disease tuberculosis (TB), which was one of the leading causes of death in the world from 1900-1950, is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the early 1950s two types of antibiotics became available and saved millions of lives. In the 1980s, a new strand of Mycobacterium tuberculosis appeared that was resistant to both antibiotics and caused the death rate of TB to rapidly increase.

An explanation for this similarity is that - a pigs and humans occupy the same habitat, while the fish occupies a different habitat. b pigs, humans and fish had no ancestral species in common. c pigs, humans and fish evolved from a common ancestor. d pig and the human are more closely related to each other than to the fish. 8 Bryozoans have a fossil record that shows that one species appeared about 140 million years ago, which changed slightly if at all over the next 40 million years.

This is called overproduction.

What is a possible cause of extinction? a Organisms can become extinct if their environment changes too rapidly for the organism to respond to it. b Organisms can become extinct if their environment changes too infrequently and the organism has adapted to a severe environment. c Organisms can become extinct if they are no longer able to reproduce with other species. d Organisms can become extinct if they have genetic variations that are favorable for their environment.

The diagram shows the evolution of whales from a land organism. What is the best explanation for this occurrence?

a

Mutations occurred that have been inherited that allowed whales to live in the water.

b

The Earth lost most of its water which made the land organisms more successful.

c

The Earth became completely covered with water which made the land organism grow fins to swim in the water.

d

A land organism reproduced with an ocean organism which led to the evolution of the whale.

2

Similarity in the skeletal structures of whales, cats, bats, and humans leads to the conclusion that they

a

belong to the same order of mammals

b

descended from a common ancestor

c

originated in the same environment

d

have the same chromosome number

3

According to the chart, which organism is most closely related to humans?

a

Lamprey

b

Frog

c

Rhesus Monkey

d

Gorilla

4

The diagram represents the distribution of fossils in undisturbed layers of rock. Which of the following statements would be the best conclusion that can be made from this evidence?

a

The organism in layer F lived most recently

b

The organisms in layer E lived at the same time

c

The organism in layer A lived 65 million years ago

d

The organism in layer C lived before the organism in layer D

5

Look at the graphic: What is the best conclusion one can draw from the graphic?

a

The white population of beetles increased from the resistance of pesticides.

b

White beetles and black beetles evolved in different locations due to available resources or changes in the environment.

c

A decrease in the reproduction of the white species of beetle led to its extinction.

d

White beetles were poorly suited for their environment.

In the early 1950s two types of antibiotics became available and saved millions of lives. In the 1980s, a new strand of Mycobacterium tuberculosis appeared that was resistant to both antibiotics and caused the death rate of TB to rapidly increase. This resistant strand of bacteria evolved through -

a

natural selection

b

reproductive isolaiton

c

gradualism

d

artificial selection

7

Early stages in the embryo of a fish are similar to the early stages of human and pig embryos. An explanation for this similarity is that -

a

pigs and humans occupy the same habitat, while the fish occupies a different habitat.

b

pigs, humans and fish had no ancestral species in common.

c

pigs, humans and fish evolved from a common ancestor.

d

pig and the human are more closely related to each other than to the fish.

8

Bryozoans have a fossil record that shows that one species appeared about 140 million years ago, which changed slightly if at all over the next 40 million years. Then, about 100 million years ago, many diverse species appeared, followed again by a long period of little to no change. This is called -

a

natural selection

b

graduated equilibrium

c

punctuated equilibrium

d

diverse evolution

9

Sea turtles lay hundreds of eggs and of their hundreds of offspring, only a small number will survive to adulthood. This is called overproduction. What is one benefit to this reproductive strategy?

a

Their hundreds of offspring are not genetically identical, therefore exhibit variation.

b

Their hundreds of offspring are genetically identical, therefore do not exhibit genetic variation.

c

They create more offspring than the environment can support.

d

They create fewer offspring than the environment can support.

10

The image is of the dodo bird, which is now extinct. What is a possible cause of extinction?

a

Organisms can become extinct if their environment changes too rapidly for the organism to respond to it.

b

Organisms can become extinct if their environment changes too infrequently and the organism has adapted to a severe environment.

c

Organisms can become extinct if they are no longer able to reproduce with other species.

d

Organisms can become extinct if they have genetic variations that are favorable for their environment.
