With which statement would Darwin most likely have agreed? * Competition among individual species causes heritable variations Variations are caused by Natural selection Organisms best adapted to a particular environment are the most likely to reproduce. No answer Survival of any species is proportional to the inheritance acquired characteristics.

Darwin put together several pieces of information when formulating his theory of evolution. Which of the following is/are not part of that information? Choose All That Apply Natural populations of organisms display variable phenotypes Natural populations tend to produce more offspring then the environment can support Individuals within a population can pass on traits acquired during their lives to their offspring Organisms tend to be uniquely adapted to the environments in which they are found Each individual in a population is equally likely to survive and produce offspring
Which statement does NOT represent one of Darwin's observations? Some characteristics are heritable and passed on to offspring. Changes in populations are gradual and take place over long periods of timme. Members of the same species may exhibit considerable variation. Some characteristics afford their possessor a better chance of survival All individuals have an equal chance to survive and reproduce.
Select ALL that apply: According to Darwin, which condition(s) must be satisfied for evolution by natural selection to occur? Favourable traits arise in response to a change in the environment Variation in traits exists between individuals Traits are inherited between parents and offspring Differences in reproductive success exist between individuals
Which of the following is NOT one of Darwin's postulates? Individuals in a population will have different versions of phenotypic traits Individuals in a population will vary in how successful they are with respect to survival and reproduction Some phenotypic traits can be passed from parent to offspring Individuals change in response to the environment, and pass those changes on to the next generation
Which of the following are important ideas used by Darwin were based on views expressed by Lamarck? (Choose all that apply) Hint: review slide presentation which provides more detail than textbook O Changes that an organism acquires during its lifetime are passed to its offspring "acquired traits". D all species change through time Organisms change in response to their environment. New characteristics are passed from one generation to the next.
Natural Selection Fill in the blanks to explain Darwin's theory of Natural Selection using these words: DNA, survive, variation, DNA, reproduce 1. Individuals in a species show 2. This is because of differences in their 3. Individuals with characteristics which suit the environment are more likely to and 4. So the from these individuals is passed onto the next generation.
Which of the following is NOT an evidence for Darwin's theory of common descent? Group of answer choices Due to innate drive to improve, parts that are extensively used becomes larger and stronger and passed on to the next generation as seen on fossil records. Anatomical structures, such as forelimbs, in different groups appear to be modified versions of structures that might have been present in a common ancestor. There are biogeographic patterns in the distribution of species, for instance distinct bird species on an island tend to resemble one another, suggesting a common ancestor. There are common stages in the early embryological development of organisms representing several distinct vertebrate groups.
or English Essay Rubric One possible theme of The Call of the Wild could be that only the strongest survive. Explain how this relates to Darwin's theory of natural selection and the survival of the fittest. Do you agree or disagree with this idea? Is there one aspect with which you agree but another with which you do not? Your answer should contain the following: • a full explanation of this theme and its connection to natural selection; • citation of supporting examples from the novel that illustrate the theme; and • your opinion and reasons.

Which the following statements about Darwin's theory of natural selection is true? O In order to reproduce more successfully, an individual must evolve so that it adapts to its environment. The natural environment consistently causes variation of certain traits in the population. O Individuals with inherited traits that are better suited to the local environment are more likely to survive and reproduce than less well-suited individuals. Natural selection, by its cumulative effects over long periods of time, could have caused random changes in ancestral species, thus giving rise to two or more descendant species.
Explain how Darwin evolution can decrease and increase the frequency of an allele(or more complex heritable traits for that matter)
Which of the following statements regarding Darwin and his theory of evolution is false? Darwin noticed that South American species of birds more closely resembled species found in other temperate regions than a European species of birds Darwin was the original and sole developer of the theory of natural selection Darwin proposed that species adapt over time Darwin proposed that natural selection produces changes in species over time
Darwin's theory of natural selection forms the basis of our understanding of evolution, but it was incomplete. He did not know the mechanism that produces variation. Group of answer choices True False
