FINAL JEOPARDY

Question 1Question 1

This scientist’s theory states that acquired traits can be passed on to offspring (ex. Neck

stretching results in children with longer necks.)

What is Lamarck’s Theory of Evolution?

Question 2Question 2

Natural selection theory was proposed by this scientist.

Who is Darwin?

Question 3Question 3

This theory states that evolution is purposeful and has a pre-determined result.

What is teleology?

An example of this theory is: “If you get big muscles, you will pass them on to

your children”.

Question 4Question 4

LaMarck’s theory of evolution.

Question 5Question 5

List two points included in the theory of evolution by natural selection.

What is variation, adaptation, struggle to survive survival of the fittest, organisms overproduce, descent with modification (any paired combination of the above).

Question 6Question 6

Type of structure: same internal structure but different function or external

appearance.

Homologous structure?

Question 7Question 7

Type of structure: Same function (like flying) but different structure.

Analogous structure?

Question 8Question 8

Give an example of a vestigial structure.

Appendix, inner eyelid for example?

Question 9Question 9

This study of the development of early life is one type of evidence for evolution.

What is embryology?

Question 10Question 10

This evidence shows the genetic relationships between common ancestors.

What is biochemical evidence?

Give an example of coevolution.

Question 11Question 11

Examples could be – hummingbird & flower, ants & acacia

Question 12Question 12

Type of evolution: Organisms of different ancestry have similar phenotypes.

What is convergent evolution?

Question 13Question 13

Organisms that are similar become different over time according to this type

of evolution.

What is divergent evolution?

Question 14Question 14

Galapagos Finches are an example of this type of divergent evolution.

What is adaptive radiation?

Explain why the example of a hummingbird and flower represents coevolution?

Question 15Question 15

Hummingbird has adapted to help pollinate flowers; flower has adapted to provide food for the hummingbird

The process of transferring genes among different populations is known as:

Question 16Question 16

What is gene flow?

Question 17Question 17

The formation of a new species is called:

What is speciation?

Question 18Question 18

Species specific bird rituals & courtship dances are examples of what?

What is behavioral isolation? (Will also accept reproductive isolation.

Question 19Question 19

Two factors that define a species.

What is the ability to interbreed and have fertile offspring?

Question 20Question 20

Give an example of geographical isolation.

Any body of water or land mass that separates populations so that they can no longer interbreed.

Question 21Question 21

The ability for an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.

What is “survival of the fittest”?

Question 22Question 22

How populations change over time

Natural selection or evolution?

Question 23Question 23

A species changing genetically over time to become better suited for the environment is doing what.

What is evolution? (Double points for micro-evolution)

Question 24Question 24

Type of selection pattern that eventually results in no intermediate forms of a trait and can lead to the evolution of two new species from the two extremes that survive.

Disruptive selection?

Question 25Question 25

This is a structural adaptation that enables one species to resemble another species.

What is Mimicry?
