Question
Question 1
A student is investigating the process of osmosis. She fills a medicine dropper with red blood cells. Next, she creates a saline solution that is isotonic to the red blood cells. What will most likely happen to the red blood cells after they are placed in the solution?
a
Water will exit the cells and cause them to shrink in size.
b
Water will neither enter or exit the cells and their sizes will remain the same.
c
Water will enter the cells and cause them to grow in size.
d
Water will enter and exit the cells at a steady rate and their sizes will remain the same.
Question 2
What information can fossils provide to our understanding of biology?
Fossil Fish - Fossil Butte National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)
a
Fossils can be used to predict future environmental conditions.
b
Fossils can be used to provide an exact timeline of organisms.
c
Fossils can be used to verify common ancestry.
d
Fossils can be used to determine all causes of extinction.
Question 3
Which theory proposes that evolution occurs steadily in tiny changes over long periods of time?
a
adaptation.
b
slow motion.
c
gradualism.
d
punctuated equilibrium.
Question 4
The three species pictured share a common ancestor and have adapted so that each lives in a different environment. This is an example of
a
Law of Superposition
b
Divergent Evolution
c
Evolutionary Arms Race
d
Convergent Evolution
Question 5
Which of the following DOES NOT support Darwin's concept of natural selection leading to evolution?
a
Overproduction in reproduction ensures survival of some of the spopulation.
b
Environmental changes lead to members of the population with the best fitness surviving.
c
Helpful traits accumulate among surviving members of the species.
d
Stronger offspring kill weaker members of the species.
Question 6
Why do some organisms that are not closely related look similar?

a
radiometric dating
b
convergent evolution
c
taxonomy
d
punctuated equilibrium
Question 7
Domestication is the act of separating a small group of organisms (wolves, in this case) from the main population, and select for their desired traits through breeding. Over thousands of years, the domestication of wolves resulted in the loss of some of the more aggressive traits, like the instinctual, defensive behavior in the presence of humans (barking or howling, bearing their teeth, poising to attack, or running away), and the size and shape of their teeth. Now humans select for a variety of traits in dogs based on personal preference and companionship, instead of as a way to increase human survival. What type of selection does this scenario represent; Natural or Artificial?
a
Natural Selection
b
Artificial Selection
Question 8
Peter and Rosemary Grant identified a new species of finch on the Galapagos Islands. This new species formed after a drought occurred on the island. How does this discovery shape our understanding in biology?

a
It shows that when environmental conditions change, populations stay the same through natural selection.
b
It shows that when environmental conditions change, populations stay the same through use and disuse.
c
It shows that when environmental conditions change, populations change through use and disuse.
d
It shows that when environmental conditions change, populations change through natural selection.
Question 9
Charles Darwin received confirmation about his theory of evolution when this naturalist, independently, developed the same theory.
a
Charles Lyell
b
John Baptiste Lamarck
c
Thomas Malthus
d
Alfred Wallace
Question 10
Some scientists think that complex eukaryotic cells formed from the union of two separate prokaryotic cells. The engulfing of one prokaryotic cell by another is a plausible explanation of why

a
eukaryotic cells don't share any similarities with prokaryotic cells.
b
eukaryotic cells lack the defense mechanisms of prokaryotic cells.
c
organelles in a eukaryotic cell would attack other cells.
d
organelles in a eukaryotic cell work cooperatively.
