Rate this question:
Results from isolation of the organism from the rest of the population
Is due to a genetic code that is present in the gametes of the organism
Decreases the number of genes in the body cells of the organism
Causes a change in the environment surrounding the organism
Rate this question:
Unusual courtship behaviors lead to extinction
Some organisms are better adapted for asexual reproduction
Homeostasis in an organism is influenced by physical characteristics
Behaviors that lead to reproductive success have evolved
Rate this question:
The extinction rate of species has decreased in the last 50 years.
Many bird species and some butterfly species make annual migrations.
New varieties of plant species appear more frequently in regions undergoing climatic change.
Through cloning, the genetic makeup of organisms can be predicted.
Rate this question:
Snails appeared on Earth before corals.
Sponges were the last new species to appear on Earth.
Earthworms and sea stars have a common ancestor.
Insects are more complex than mammals.
Rate this question:
Species B and C can be found in today's environments.
Species A and D evolved from E.
Species A and C can still interbreed.
Species A, B, and E all evolved from a common ancestor and all are successful today.
Rate this question:
Gene replication
Natural selection
Random mutation
Selective breeding
Rate this question:
Asexual reproduction of these finch species
The selection for different shaped beaks that best suit different niches
The genetic recombination associated with mitotic cell division
The genetic engineering of the DNA of each of these species
Rate this question:
Gene manipulation
Natural selection
Unchanging environmental conditions
Patterns of behavior learned from parents
Rate this question:
Less competition
More chromosomes
Lower mutation rates
Higher rates of reproduction
Rate this question:
The insects needed camouflage so they developed protective coloration.
Natural selection played a role in the development of this protective coloration.
The lack of mutations resulted in the protective coloration.
The trees caused mutations in the insects that resulted in protective coloration.
Rate this question:
Inbheritance of resistance to diseases that affect all these species
Inheritance of characteristics acquired after the birds hatched from the egg
Natural selection
Selective breeding
