Side A ------ Side B
Choose the phrase that bestrepresents macroevolutionary change. ------ New forms of animalsreplacing older ones
In a certain population,the frequency of a dominant allele is represented by p = 0.7, and the frequencyof the recessive allele is represented by 0.3. What is the frequency of theheterozygous genotype? ------ 0.42
Whales are descendents of: ------ a relative of ahippopotamus
The evidence for evolutionincludes which of the following? ------ All of the choices arecorrect.
All of the following arecorrect about Intelligent Design except: ------ it is scientifically testable
The Hardy-Weinbergequilibrium is based on a number of assumptions. Which of the following is NOTone of those? ------ Mating occurs nonrandomly,and mates exert preferences.
A population of frogsdeveloping a slight difference in their mating calls is an example of ------ microevolutionary change
Over time, the same bonesin different vertebrates were put to different uses. This falls under thecategory of: ------ homologous structures
The hypothesis thatsuggests evolution occurs slowly and changes in organisms are nearlyimperceptible is: ------ gradualism
Most types of organismsevolve at about the same rate. ------ FALSE
The fossil record indicatesthat whales evolved from: ------ hoofed mammals
If two species of plantsbloom during different seasons in the same habitat, this is known as: ------ temporal isolation
________________ resultsfrom microevolutionary changes that increase the likelihood of survival andreproduction ------ Adaptation
The molecular evidence ofhow the cytochrome c gene changes with time suggests that this geneevolves: ------ at a constant rate
Two populations of flowersare separated by a mountain range and would not be capable of interbreeding.This is an example of: ------ geographical isolation
Bees may pick up pollen ofone species on a certain place on their bodies; if this area does not come intocontact with the receptive structures of the flowers of another plant species,the pollen is not transferred. This is an example of: ------ mechanical isolation
A structure remaining in ananimal but with no use at all is called: ------ vestigial

All of the following areexamples of vestigial structures except: ------ human gall bladder
When selection operates toeliminate intermediate phenotypes, it is referred to as: ------ disruptive selection
The notion that organismsthat are more distantly related should have time to accumulate more biochemicaldifferences than those more closely related can best be illustrated using: ------ a molecular clock
In pools below waterfalls, wherepredation is _____, male guppies are _____, whereas in pools above waterfallswhere predation is ______, male guppies are ______. ------ high, drab colored, low,more colorful
Choose the phrase that bestrepresents microevolutionary change. ------ Changes in allele frequencyin a population
In small populations, genefrequencies can change drastically by chance alone. This phenomenon is called: ------ genetic drift
