EVOLUTION REVIEW GAME

HOW DO FOSSILS DEMONSTRATE EVIDENCE OF EVOLUTION?

• THEY SHOW THAT ANCIENT SPECIES SHARE SIMILARITIES WITH SPECIES NOW ON EARTH.

WHEN TWO POPULATIONS BECOME REPRODUCTIVELY ISOLATED WHAT DO WE CALL THE PROCESS THAT OCCURS NEXT?

• SPECIATION

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE YOU ARE CONSIDERED WHAT?

• FIT

THE SNAKE HAS HIP BONES, BUT NO LEGS. THE HIP BONES ARE CONSIDERED WHAT

TYPE OF STRUCTURE?• VESTIGIAL

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST CAN BE USED TO DESCRIBE WHAT PROCESS IN EVOLUTION?

• NATURAL SELECTION

INDIVIDUALS WHO SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE USUALLY HAVE A TYPE OF

WHAT?• ADAPTATION

WHAT IS CHANGE OVER TIME ALSO CALLED?

• EVOLUTION

WHAT IMPORTANT THING DOES SEXUAL REPRODUCTION GIVE US?

• VARIETY/DIVERSITY

THE CATS EAT ALL THE SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED MICE, WHAT TYPE OF SELECTION IS

THIS?• DIRECTIONAL

THE MICE WITH DARK FUR AND THE MICE WITH LIGHT FUR ARE ABLE TO HIDE FROM PREDATORS, BUT NOT THE ONES IN THE MIDDLE. WHAT TYPE OF SELECTION IS THIS?

• DISRUPTIVE

BABIES ARE USUALLY BORN AT A MIDDLE WEIGHT BECAUSE IF THEY ARE TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL

COMPLICATIONS CAN ARISE. WHAT TYPE OF SELECTION IS THIS?

• STABILIZING

WHAT SIZE POPULATION IS GREATLY EFFECTED BY GENETIC DRIFT

• SMALL

IF YOU REPRODUCE AT DIFFERENT TIMES WHAT TYPE OF ISOLATION IS OCCURRING?

• TEMPORAL SOLATION

A RANDOM CHANGE IN THE DNA IS CALLED WHAT?

• MUTATION

WHEN MALES FIGHT FOR A FEMALE WHAT IS THIS CALLED?

• SEXUAL SELECTION

WHEN THE TWO BIRDS DO NOT REPRODUCE BECAUSE THEY DO DIFFERENT DANCES WHAT TYPE OF ISOLATION IS THAT?• BEHAVIORAL ISOLATION

WHEN THERE IS A MOUNTAIN IN THE WAY WHAT TYPE OF ISOLATION IS IT?

• GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION

ALL THE ALLELES IN A POPULATION IS CALLED THE WHAT?

• GENE POOL

T/F NATURAL SELECTION ACTS ON THE GENEOTYPE

• FALSE: PHENOTYPE

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF AN ADAPTATION

THE HUMAN AND A WHALE FIN HAVE A SIMILAR BONE STRUCTURE. WHAT DO WE

CALL THESE STRUCTURES?• HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES

WHAT DO WE CALL NEWLY DERIVED TRAITS ON A CLADOGRAM?

• DERIVED TRAITS

WHAT ARE FOSSILS?

• PRESERVED ORGANIC MATTER

HOW CAN YOU TELL HOW OLD A FOSSIL IS?

• THE OLDER LAYERS ARE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM.

HOW CAN YOU TELL WHO HAS THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FITNESS?

• THEY SURVIVE AND REPRODUCE MORE

WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE IN THE POPULATION BECAUSE OF RANDOM

CHANCE WHAT IS IT CALLED?• GENETIC DRIFT

WHY IS THE LOSS OF VARIATION A BAD THING?

• LESS LIKELY TO SURVIVE CHANGES OR DISEASES

WHY ARE THERE MAY TYPES OF BIRD BEAKS FOUND ON THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS?

• DIFFERENT FOOD SOURCES/ ADAPTATIONS

WHY WERE THERE MORE BLACK ROCK POCKET MICE OVER TIME ON THE LAVA

ROCK?• THE BLACK MICE SURVIVED AND REPRODUCED

HOW ARE HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION?

• COMMON ANCESTOR

WHY DO ONLY MALES GET THE FANCY TRAITS?
