A. According to Gould and Vrba (1982), when the original cooling function of insect appendages was changed to flying, this is an example of
a.
inheritance.
b.
exaptation.
c.
apatation.
d.
adaptation.
B. When primates first evolved away from their mammalian ancestors, they
a.
developed a larger and more complex brain.
b.
increased their reliance on the sense of smell.
c.
increased the number of canines (for meat-eating).
d.
all of the above
Several very distantly related species (e.g., bats, birds, insects) have evolved the capability of flight. The most recent common ancestor of insects and vertebrates likely lived over 500 million years ago and was flightless. This independent evolution of flight in multiple, distantly related taxa is an example of what evolutionary process/pattern?
a.
Evolutionary reversal
b.
Convergent evolution
c.
Speciation
d.
Synapomorphy
Whale skeletons contain nonfunctional pelvic bonesa. as a result of convergent evolution.b. due to catastrophism.c. because whales evolved from ancestors that had hind legs.d. because the bones might be needed for a future adaptation.

- Evolutionary theory predicts that species are related, not independent. Four of the following examples provide support for this prediction, but one is irrelevant. Which of examples listed below does not support the claim that species are related? A. Many dinosaurs and other organisms went extinct following a huge asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous. B. Before synthetic insulin was available, diabetics used injections of purified pig insulin to manage their disease. C.
