Name Date Period Evolution: Biology Spring Final Exam Review- Key 1. Darwin said that evolution occurred due to Natural Selection. 2. According to Darwin, natural selection occurs due to: a.

Some individuals in the species will have variations that cause them to be the most fit in a particular environment. e. Vast amount of time is required for a species to change 3.

A helpful mutation (increases / decreases) fitness of the individual in its environment, where as a harmful mutation (increases / decreases) fitness.

Fossils in the lowest sedimentary rock layers are older and simpler than fossils found in higher layers of rock. This is an example of relative dating. 7.

1 Name Date Period Evolution: Biology Spring Final Exam Review- Key 1. Darwin said that evolution occurred due to Natural Selection. 2. According to Darwin, natural selection occurs due to: a. Variation Exists in Nature b. More offspring are produced than will survive. c. There is a constant struggle for survival. d. Some individuals in the species will have variations that cause them to be the most fit in a particular environment. e. Vast amount of time is required for a species to change 3. The individual does not evolve; the population evolves. 4. (Mutations / fitness) in DNA is/are the source of variation with a species. A helpful mutation (increases / decreases) fitness of the individual in its environment, where as a harmful mutation (increases / decreases) fitness. The frequency of the mutated gene will (increase/decrease) if it is a helpful mutation. 5. The long neck of a giraffe is an example of a/an adaptation. 6. Fossils in the lowest sedimentary rock layers are older and simpler than fossils found in higher layers of rock. This is an example of relative dating. 7. The youngest and most complex fossils are found in the top layers of rock. 8. The whale s flipper and the arms of a human are examples of homologous structures because they have the same bones but use them for different functions. They show evidence of a common ancestor. 9. The hip bones in whales and snakes are examples of (vestigial organs / homologous structures) because they serve no function. 10. Analogous structures, such as the wing of an insect and the wing of a bird, have similar functions but originate from different embryological structures. 11. All vertebrate embryos are (alike/ not alike) in that they all have similar patterns of development, especially in the very early stages, which suggests a common ancestor. 12. What is survival of the fittest? How does it apply to Natural selection? Nature selects (Natural selection) those individuals w/ favorable traits to leave more offspring that are better suited (FIT) for their environment. 13. Label each type of evidence for evolution: A. embryological similarities B. homologous structures C. vestigial structures D. fossil record

14. Types of Natural Selection Practice: B a. Does not lead to speciation or evolution. C b. Cause one species to evolve into two different species. A c.

Type of selection that favors the two extreme variations. 15. Label the types of selection: A. Directional B. Stabilizing C. Disruptive a. Disruptive Selection b. Directional Selection c.

Happen by chance, such as a fire, landslide or lightning strike. 2. How does geographic and reproductive isolation lead to speciation?

Members of an original species can no longer breed together to produce fertile offspring so they are reproductively isolated and now 2 species. 3. What is behavioral isolation? Give an example.

2 14. Types of Natural Selection Practice: B a. Does not lead to speciation or evolution. C b. Cause one species to evolve into two different species. A c. Causes one species to evolve into a different species. A d. Type of selection that favors one extreme variation. B e. Type of selection that favors the average variation. C f. Type of selection that favors the two extreme variations. 15. Label the types of selection: A. Directional B. Stabilizing C. Disruptive a. Disruptive Selection b. Directional Selection c. Stabilizing Selection 1. What is genetic drift? What size of population is most affected by genetic drift? Random change in allele frequencies that occurs in small populations. Happen by chance, such as a fire, landslide or lightning strike. 2. How does geographic and reproductive isolation lead to speciation? Geographic isolation: a barrier that physically separates members of a species into two or more groups. Members of an original species can no longer breed together to produce fertile offspring so they are reproductively isolated and now 2 species. 3. What is behavioral isolation? Give an example. 2 species do not breed together due to behavior. For example, the female meadowlarks only respond to mating call (song) of males that are like them. 4. Describe survival of the fittest and how it applies to natural selection. Nature selects (Natural selection) those individuals w/ favorable traits to leave more offspring that are better suited (FIT) for their environment 5. What is genetic equilibrium? when no change takes place. What must occur in order for allele frequencies to remain constant?

ENERGY FLOW THROUGH AN ECOSYSTEM The flow of energy through an ecosystem begins with thesun, and is passed on through various organisms: sun producers consumers decomposers Producers autrophic organisms that are able to make their own food from inorganic substances (photosynthesis). Consumers heterotrophic organisms that get energy by eating producers or other consumers. 1. Herbivores 2. Carnivores 3. Omnivores- Eats only plants Ex. deer Eats only plants Ex.hawk Eats both plants and animals Ex.humans Decomposers obtain energy from the dead and decaying organisms. FEEDING RELATIONSHIPS Each step in a food chain or web is called a trophic level, or a feeding relationship between organisms. FOOD CHAIN one way flow of energy FOOD WEB many possible feeding relationships Illustrates only one feeding relationship within an ecosystem. (Label each trophic level below) 5 th Quaternary consumers 4 th Tertiary consumers Arrows show the flow of energy and matter. 3 rd 2 nd 1 st Secondary consumers Primary consumers Producers 1. What would happen to this food web is the plants were removed?no energy in system 2. What happens to the owl population if the foxes we killed off by humans?overpopulate

7 ECOLOGICAL PYRAMIDS Pyramid of Energy A pyramid of energy is used to illustrate the amount of usable energy at each trophic level. Only 10% is passed on to the next trophic level The other 90% is given/lost as heat. Give an example of the 3 types of symbiotic relationships: 1. Mutualism: Both organisms benefit from the relationship Ex: Bees and flowers 2. Parasitism: One organism benefits, and the other is harmed (host) Ex: Tick (benefits) and Deer (harmed) 3. Commensalism: One organism benefits, and the other is neither helped nor harmed Ex: Whales (not harmed/not benefitted) and Barnacles (benefits)
