- 8) Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statements that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks. A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits. Eliminate B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population. C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring. D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.…arrow_forwardLook at picture attached A) What does the phylogeny suggest about the evolutionary process that led to the trait differences by habitat? a. convergent evolution b. adaptive radiation c. phenotypic plasticity B) Choose different functional forms from two of the habitats shown in the collage and describe how one or more differences in form may represent an adaptation to their different environment. Example: compare plant form for lobeliads in montane bog to cloud forest understoryarrow_forwardWhich of the following is most likely to be true of two modern organisms that have a distant evolutionary relationship? a. They should have fewer homologous traits in common than two more closely related organisms b. They should have very similar chromosomes Oc. They live in very different habitats d. They should be members of the same genus e. They should have a relatively recent common ancestor*arrow_forward
- Two different plants, cactus from the desert southwest USA and a euphorb from South Africa, have similar adaptations to desert life- these similarities evolved independently in response to similar environmental conditions, they were not inherited for one shared ancestor of cactus and euphords . What is the best term for these adaptations? A. Synapomorphies B. Acclimations C. Homologous traits D. Analogous traitsarrow_forwardOne hypothesis for the Cambrian explosion was an increase in predator-prey relationships. It is thought that the resulting co-evolution of predator and prey may have been a factor in the rapid speciation of animals seen during this time. What findings in the fossil record would most support this? Group of answer choices a. increased incidence of larger-bodied animals b. increased incidence of sessile animals c. decreased incidence of animals with bilateral symmetry d. increased incidence of animals with radial symmetry e. increased incidence of shells, bony plates, spines, and/or clawsarrow_forwardAssume you are studying two different species of plants that have evolved purple flowers. You reconstruct the ancestor of these plants and discover the ancestor plant had pink flowers. You decide to investigate the development of the purple flowers and find that the plants both evolved purple flowers via the same purple pigment gene pathway. This discovery is best described as which of the following? a. Equal Fitness Landscapes b. Heterochrony c. Parallel Evolution d. Convergent Evolutionarrow_forward

Structural homologies among very different animals C. Fossil records of intermediate life forms D. Earth is not the center of the galaxy or universe Which of the following is not a part of the allopatric speciation by natural selection model? A. Geographically isolated populations evolve or change in response to novel environments. B. Reproductive isolation evolves as a by-product of changes in other traits associated with adapting to new resources or environments. C. Selection against hybridization leads to exaggeration of signals to facilitate recognizing conspecifics( individuals of the same species). D. Changes among or between populations occur while populations are geographically separated. Which of the following is not an example of the evolution of a key innovation (anew trait)…arrow_forwardAccording to "The Complex Evolution of Homo sapiens", what is the significance of the L3 gene and who was the L3 woman? A.Only individuals within North and South America descended from the L3 woman. B.All individuals within Africa are descended from the L3 woman. C.All individuals outside of Africa and who live in the Old World are descended from the L3 woman. D.All individuals outside of Africa are descended from the L3 womanarrow_forwardDarwin’s finches are a noteworthy case study of evolution by natural selection because evidence suggests a. they are descendants of many different species that colonized the Galápagos. b. they radiated from a single species that colonized the Galápagos. c. they are more closely related to mainland species than to one another. d. None of the choices is correct.arrow_forward
- Scorpions occupy every continent except Antarctica, and all scorpionsfluoresce under ultraviolet light. What do these observations mostlikely suggest about the origin of scorpion fluorescence?a. The common ancestor of scorpions fluoresced.b. Scorpion fluorescence evolved independently on each continent.c. Scorpion fluorescence is a vestigial characteristic.d. Scorpion fluorescence evolved recently.arrow_forwardWhat do the multiple branching points at the root of the eukaryotic phylogenetic tree indicate about the evolution of eukaryotes? A. that unikonts are derived from the SAR clade B. that Archaeplastids were the first eukaryotes C. that fungi are more closely related to plants than animals D. that eukaryotes are all descended from a common ancestorarrow_forwardThe three beetle species live in the same ecosystem, and they likely evolved from the ancestral species that colonized the region. Which statement best explains how descent with modification influenced speciation in these beetles? A. The ancestral species carried neutral gene mutations that spontaneously caused speciation when they colonized the region. B. The ancestral species randomly diverged into three species before colonization and then colonized the regions that best suited their new adaptations. C. After colonization, small groups separated from the rest of the ancestral species and developed different adaptations that helped them survive and reproduce. D. After colonization, the large group interbred until they developed enough neutral genetic mutations for speciation to occur.arrow_forward
