Final Jeopardy
How does the movement of new individuals into a population help bring about rapid
evolution?
• They must compete for food and shelter with other living things. This competition causes species to either die out or evolve.
*This seems like Natural Selection to me!
$200
Survive and Reproduce
Charles Darwin knew that organisms had traits and
behaviors that allowed them to do what?
$400
A single species or common ancestor
Darwin Argued that all existing species originated
from what?
$600
Adapting to their environments
Darwin thought that evolution was the result of
organisms doing what?
$800
A species with adaptations that are well suited to its environment will survive better
and have more offspring.
Describe Natural Selection
$1000
Acquired traits are handed down from one generation to the next. Like scars and
tatooes.
What was Larmarck’s Theory of Evolution
$200
Fossil Records, bacteria evolving to fight medicine, and plants being breed into new
plants.
Give an example of direct evidence of evolution?
$400
Embryology
Homologous structures
Vestigial Structures
What are 3 indirect types of evidence of evolution?
$600
Appendix
Wisdom Teeth
Ear wiggling muscles
What is an example of a vestigial structure in humans?
$800
Embryos of different organisms are the same at early stages of development. This suggest they have come from a common
ancestor
How is embryology evidence of evolution?
$1000
They show that changes have occurred within organisms, show that organisms have a common ancestor, shows that
enough time has passed for evolution to occur
Why are fossils direct evidence of evolution?
$200
Homologous structures show that organisms have a recent common ancestor
Why are homologous structures used as evidence of
evolution?
$400
They are structures that no longer have a function
What is a vestigial structure?
$600
Body parts that have a similar structure but have different functions
What are homologous Structures?
$800
Variations are differences in a species that can be good or bad. An adaptation is a
variation that is good and helps an oganism survive and reprodice.
How are variations different from adaptations?
$1000
It takes time for evolution to occur. Over thousands or millions of years structures get
smaller, shut off, then dissapear.
Why do some vestigial structures still exist?
$200
Gradual and Punctuated Equilibrium
What are two models of evolution?
$400
Punctuated Equilibrium
If you found many different fossils for a species in just a few million years what type of evolution would this be?
$600
A species is in a state of equilibrium for an extended period of time followed by a brief and rapid period of change that produces a
new species
Explain Punctuated Equilibrium
$800
It is a model of evolution that is based on slow and steady changes
What is gradualism?
$1000
It is the permanent disappearance of a species
What is extinction?
$200
Variations
What is the difference in inherited traits of an organism
that may lead to a new species?
$400
Species
Similar organisms whose members can successfully
reproduce.
$600
Relative Dating
Method used to estimate the age of a fossil.
$800
Opposable thumbs, binocular vision, and flexible shoulders.
List three characteristics of primate.
$1000
Hominids had larger brains.
What separates hominids from apes?
$200
Homo habilis
Other than Mr. T… who was handy?
$400
Cro-Magnon
Who was artsy?
$600
Sudden changes in the DNA of an organism, or an organism finding itself
geographically isolated from the rest of its popluation.
Name two events that can cause evolution to occur.
$800Neanderthals
Who were the real cavemen? Stone tools and all!
$1000
Not all dead things become fossil. Not all fossils have been found.
Give two reasons why the fossil record might be
incomplete?
