A population of birds lives on a mountain. In this population, there are red-winged birds, orange-winged birds, and blue-winged birds. A predatory snake eats more of the blue-winged birds because they are not well camouflaged on the red and orange plants that grow on the mountain. This is an example of which mechanism of evolution? Group of answer choices Gene flow Cryptic coloration Natural selection Sexual selection Genetic drift
A small population of wood rats boarded a ship leaving Europe and ended up in South America where they began breeding. Which type of Mechanism evolution is this. Natural Selection Genetic drift Gene Flow Bottleneck Effect Founder Effect Sexual Selection
Which of the following is NOT true about creationism? * no answer There is no extinction of organisms because organisms can always survive as long as they try hard enough. The earth was created only 6000 years ago because the evidence of the rocks suppor that idea. Any great change is due to small but cumulative changes that occur over long periods of time. All organisms are perfect because they are created to be able to survive in their habitat.
DNA sequences in many human genes are very similar to the sequences of corresponding genes in chimpanzees. Which of the following statements is the explanation for this result? Group of answer choices Convergent evolution led to the DNA similarities. Humans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor. Humans evolved from chimpanzees. Chimpanzees evolved from humans.

Group of answer choices Increased wealth in children of wealthier parents Transitional forms in the fossil record Increase in frequency of large beaked finches after a drought Homology in forelimb structures in different tetrapods (4-limbed vertebrate animals)
Is this Natural or Artificial Selection? Or which is correct?
What is adaptive radiation? Large-scale evolutionary patterns and trends in speciation The event when a species no longer has living members A lineage undergoes a burst of genetic divergences that gives rise to many species Changes in allele frequency that are always occurring in natural populations
Many crustaceans (for example, lobsters, shrimps, and crayfish) use their tails to swim, but crabs have reduced tails that curl under their shells and are not used in swimming. This condition is an example of what evidence of evolution? * Homologous structure Convergent evolution No answer Vestigial trait Natural selection
Find two cases in the media (internet, TV, etc.) of a person (organization, etc.) attempting to describe and example of the process of Darwinian evolution but is incorrectly describing the evolution process using a Lamarckian approach to evolution. Give the following information for both cases: Source (Where you found it) In what ways are they mistakenly claiming that the evolutionary process is an example of Darwinian evolution? How do you know that they are really describing evolution through a Lamarckian process, not a Darwinian process?
