Out of the three, what would be an example of evolution? A population of green beetles changes over many generations to a population of brown beetles. Individual green beetles in a population become brown because of what they are eating. The environment where a population of green beetles is living changes, becoming much more cold over time.

In your body, you have systems (digestive system, circulatory system, etc.). Each system is made up of organs. Each organ is made up of tissues. Each tissue is made up of cells. Each cell is made up of chemicals. What characteristic of life is being demonstrated by all this? Group of answer choices development natural selection evolution irritability high complexity
Many crustaceans (for example, lobsters, shrimps, and crayfish) use their tails to swim, but crabs have reduced tails that curl under their shells and are not used in swimming. This condition is an example of what evidence of evolution? * Homologous structure Convergent evolution No answer Vestigial trait Natural selection
Which of the following is NOT an example of evolution? Group of answer choices Increased wealth in children of wealthier parents Transitional forms in the fossil record Increase in frequency of large beaked finches after a drought Homology in forelimb structures in different tetrapods (4-limbed vertebrate animals)
Which is NOT a component of evolution by natural selection? Group of answer choices Organisms compete for resources. Organisms adapt due to environmental changes. Species are fixed. Individuals have different reproductive success.
Which statement about natural selection is true? Natural selection only happens to animals. Natural selection produces animals fit for their environment. Evolution causes natural selection. Natural selection produces animals that are faster and stronger.
Honey possums lick nectar from flowers using a long tongue made of soft muscle. Butterflies lick nectar from flowers using a long tongue made of hard protein. What type of evidence is this? Why is this evidence of evolution?
When a human child goes through puberty, the organs associated with reproduction grow and become mature. Other physical changes happen as well, such as growth of facial hair in males. What characteristic of life is demonstrated here? Group of answer choices irritability cellular nature natural selection development evolution
Which of the following is NOT an example of evolution? -Herbicide resistance developing over time in weeds that are regularly sprayed -Your body going through physiological changes over the course of several weeks because you moved from low elevation to a high elevation location -Changes in allele frequencies at various genes occurring over time in isolated human populations -The generation of dog breeds through selective breeding over many generations
It has taken millions of years for the ancestors of whales to change into what we know today, as indicated in the diagram below. Based on your knowledge of evolution, which of the following is a reasonable explanation of why the organisms in the diagram changed over 25 million years? Question options: As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so characteristics that allowed the organisms to hunt in an aquatic environment became more advantageous. As the environment changed the temperature became too hot and the organisms began to move to a more aquatic environment to keep cool. As the environment changed the food sources became more difficult to obtain so the organisms decided to change their characteristics to ones that would be beneficial when hunting in an aquatic environment. As the environment changed the predators on land became better adapted to hunting the whales ancestors forcing them to live in more aquatic…
Which of the following statements about evolution is false?a. Gene mutations alone amount to evolution. b. Genetic drift and gene flow are modern theories of evolution.c. Natural selection contributes to evolution.d. Chimpanzees evolved from a hominoid ancestor.
Evolution by natural selection is founded on what basic idea? Random genetic mutations that help a species survive will be more likely to be passed to future generations. Only traits that will help an individual organism survive will be passed down to future generations. Only the biggest, strongest, fastest, or smartest creatures survive. Traits that animals acquire over their life will be taught to future generations.
