Side A ------ Side B
A structure remaining in an animal but with no use at all is called: ------ vestigial
If two species of birds occur in the same area but occupy different habitats they do not mate.  This is an example of: ------ ecological isolation
The notion that organsisms that are more distantly related should have time to accumulate more biochemical differences than those more closely related can best be illustrated using: ------ a molecular clock
In certain population, the frequency of a dominant allele is represented by p=0.7, and the frequency of the recessive allele is represnted by 0.3.  What is the frequency of the heterozygous genotype? ------ 0.42
Over time, the same bones in different vertebrates were put to different uses.  This falls under the category of: ------ homologous structures
Choose the phrase that best represents macroevolutionary change. ------ new forms of animals replacing older ones
Two populations of flowers are separated by a mountain range and would not be capable of interbreeding.  This is an example of: ------ geographical isolation
The molecular evidence of how the cytochrome c gene changes with time suggests that the gene evolves: ------ at a constant rate
In human infants, there has long been evolution toward having the highest survival rate at a 6-7 pound birth weight.  This is an example of: ------ stabilizing or balancing selection
The hypothesis that suggests evolution occurs in spurts, with a great deal of evolutionary activity followed by periods of slower evolution is: ------ punctuated equilibrium
The fossil record indicates that whales evolved from: ------ hoofed mammals
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is based on a number of assumptions.  Which of the following is NOT one of those? ------ mating occurs nonrandomly, and mates exert preferences
In small populations, gene frequencies can change drastically by chance alone.  This phenomenon is called: ------ genetic drift
When selection operates to eliminate intermediate phenotypes, it is referred to as: ------ disruptive selection
Sickle-cell anemia in humans is an examply of: ------ stabilizing or balancing selection
Whales are descendents of: ------ a relative of a hippopotamus
The evidence for evolution includes which of the following? ------ All of these are correct
The differences produced between breeds produced by artificial selection are more distinctive than differences between wild species ------ true
In pools below waterfalles, where predation is _____, male guppies are _____, whereas in pools above waterfalls where predation is _____, male guppies are _____. ------ high, drab colored, low, more colorful
All of the following are correct about Intelligent Design except: ------ it is scientifically testable
The hypothesis that suggests evolution occurs slowly in organisms are nearly imperceptible is: ------ gradualism
Biochemical changes that occur in organisms through time can help us: ------ all of these
A population of frogs developing a slight difference in their matin calls is an example of: ------ microevolutionary change
If two species of plants bloom during different seasons in the same habitat, this is known as: ------ temporal isolation
choose the phrase that best represents microevolutionary change. ------ changes in allele frequency in a population
