Sample Question
As a consequence of size alone, organisms that are large tend to have larger brains than organisms that are small. However, some organisms have brains that are considerably larger than expected for an animal of their size. Data for 14 bird species are listed below. Graph the data and then, based on the data, determine which of the statements below is most reasonable. Deviation from expected brain size, that is the brain size based on body mass alone. (Negative values indicate grain sizes smaller than expected; positive values indicate brain sizes larger than expected.) -1.8 1.2 3.2 -2.4 0.0 -2.0 2.3 2.0 -1.0 -2.1 0.3 3.0 1.3 0.7 Mortality rate 0.9 0.8 0.6 0.9 0.7 0.5 0.6 0.6 0.4 0.7 0.8 0.3 0.3 0.4

Apparently because of the costs associated with increase brain size, there is an upper limit as to how large bird brains can evolve.

Larger than expected brain sizes are associated with lower mortality rates. (This could be the result of large-brained birds having an increased intelligence that gives them an advantage in finding food, or escaping predators, though the data do not address this.)

There is no correlation between brain size and mortality rate. (This could be because of conflicting selective pressures. For example, any advantage of having a relatively large brain, perhaps increased intelligence, may be counter balanced by a disadvantage of having a relatively large brain.

Birds with brain sized that are larger than expected have relatively high mortality rate. (This could result from the metabolic costs associated with maintaining that relatively large brain, though the data do not address this.)

Sample Question
The "biological species concept" offers us a practical way to distinguish species of organisms and to assign individuals to one taxon or another. In order to catalog individuals as being members of one species or antoehr using this concept focuses on

Morphological differences distinguishing the species

Differences in the geographic distribution of the species

The ability of individuals to successfully breed with each other

Sample Question
The distinction between homologous and analogous structures can be summarized as follows:

Homologous structures share common ancestral origins while analogous structures do not.

Analogous structures share common ancestral origins while homologous structures do not.

Homologous structures are like bird wings and bat wings, while analogous structures are like dolphin and shark body plans.

Analogous structures are like bird wings and dolphin body plans, while homologous structures are like shark body plans and bat wings.

None of the above are correct.
