Biology Unit 4 Assessment 2020-2021 Question: 1-16 cording to the fossil record, giraffes didn't always have long necks. Through time, they evolved to have long necks. What would be the best explanation for the longer necks? 15.13 O Certain traits can be favorably selected through time in a population if members of that population continuously breed with partners with the desired trait; thus, naturally "selecting out" those without the trait O Convergent evolution explains why giraffes have long necks O Divergent evolution explains why giraffes have long necks O The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; as a result, its offspring inherited longer necks

For this activity, you will be reviewing the geological time scale in the module readingassignment from the Geological Time chapter in the PRI Digital Atlas of Ancient Life –online textbook and the Earth History chapter from the OER Commons Earth ScienceTextbook. Use the images of the geologic time scales in your readings to help you makeyour Geologic Time Scale concept sketch nstructions:Sketch and label a geologic time scale. Include dates of the following events in EarthHistory on your time scale in the appropriate time period (you may have to look these up onthe internet but most are listed in your readings). First appearance of free oxygen in the atmosphere Earliest fossils Oldest animal fossils Great Dying Extinction (worst mass extinction at end of the Permian Period) – alsoexplain possible causes of this extinctionArchaeopteryx sp. appeared First Flowering PlantsTyrannosaurus rex appeared K-T Extinction event (Dinosaurs died out) – also explain possible causes of…

Choose 1 organism below and propose a method of fossilization that most appropriately matches the process needed to preserve the organism. Be sure to include the name of the organism you chose, the fossilization method or type of fossil that would form, and describe the fossilization process for that particular method/type. Organism 1 - A bird's footprints Organism 2 - A section of a tree trunk Organism 3 - An entire bee Organism 4 - The shell of a nautilus (a present-day sea animal similar to an extinct ammonite) Organism 5 - An entire polar bear

The researchers found that the Neanderthal fossil had approximately0.0078 as much 14C as found originally in the atmosphere. (a) Usingthe numbers on your graph, determine how many half-lives havepassed since the Neanderthal died. (b) Using your 14C calibration onthe x-axis, what is the approximate age of the Neanderthal fossil inyears (round off to the nearest thousand)? (c) Approximately whendid Neanderthals become extinct according to this study? (d) Theresearchers cite evidence that modern humans (H. sapiens) becameestablished in the same region as the last Neanderthals approximately 39,000–42,000 years ago. What does this suggest aboutthe overlap of Neanderthals and modern humans?
