3. PCR chops up DNA to be used in a gel True
4. CRISPR can only be used in bacteria False
5. As we move from domain to species we get more specific but less inclusive True
6. Describe the three processes and their contributions to the production of the results shown on
the figure
1) DNA is placed into a matrix gel made of agarose.
2) Gel is exposed to an electric field.
3) DNA migrates to positive electrode.
7. What was Darwin’s view of success in term of evolution

You produce offspring who are able to reproduce.
8. What three things must an organism do to be “Successful”

Survive, have kids, have their kids make kids
9. What four things must be in place or happen evolution by natural selection to take place?
Genetic diversity, genetic flow, large population, competition,
10. A bats wings, humans hand, cats paw all have the same bones. What type of trait is this and
what does it show
Homologous structure, we all came from the same organism but underwent divergent
evolution.
11. Name two examples of vestigial structures and what the show about the organisms history
1) Wisdom teeth; we used to need more teeth
2) Tail bone; we used to have tails
12. Identify 6 things that must be in a population for it to be in Hardy Weinberg
1) No selection
2) No mutations
3) No migration
4) Very large population
5) Random mating
6) No bottleneck effect (natural disasters)

white moths
a. What is the frequency of the Brown and white alleles
b. What is the frequency of each of the three genotypes
c. If 10 years later there are 437 brown moths and 63 white moth was there any selection
taking place. If so describe a mechanism that would explain it
14. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection what drives evolution?

a. Random traits are passed on to future generations
b. The strongest males will be the only ones to reproduce.
c. The best fit for the environment will have the best chance of passing on their traits
d. All organisms will survive if given enough food
15. A change that helps a species become more suited to it’s environment can best be described as
a/n ___________.
a. Fitness
b. Adaptation
c. Sexual selective trait
d. Mimicry
16. Which of these choices is not needed for natural selection to occur?
a. More individuals are in a population than the environment can carry
b. Genetic variation
c. Some adaptive characteristics are more favorable than others.
d. Females having a preference for color of a male.
17. Porcupines having spines on their back is an example of what kind of pressure
a. Sexual selection
b. Physiological selection
c. Predation Selection

traits is an example of what?
a. Artificial Selection
b. Natural Selection
c. Lamarckian Evolution
d. Survival of the Fittest
19. What type of evidence is seen as the most solid form to display evolutionary relationships
a. Biogeographical
b. Biochemical
c. Anatomical
d. Embryological
20. What is the biological species concept?

States that a species is a population of organisms who can interbreed and
produce fertile offspring.

what type of selection
a. Disruptive
b. Directional
c. Stabilizing
d. Predator prey
22. What are 3 prezygotic and 2 post zygotic barriers to producing a hybrid offspring?
Pre-zygotic (Gametes won’t meet): spacial isolation, temporal isolation,
mechanical isolation
Post-zygotic (Gametes meet): hybrid offspring is sterile, premature death
23. The fact polar bears and pandas llive in very different areas of the world would be what kind of
speciation?
Geographical isolation (Allopatric)
24. Wolves and deer live in similar areas yet there are no wolf/deer babies. What kind of speciation
is this? Why wont they produce babies
Genetic isolation
25. What view of evolution say that changes happen very fast followed by long periods of no
change?
Punctuated evolution (not gradualism)
26. 150k years ago humans migrated out of central Africa into Europe, Scandinavia, Asia, and
eventually the Americas. This lead to the populations of these grous each having wildly different
traits and phenotypic features that do not look like the population in Africa. What is this an
example of?
geographic isolation(?)
27. Cheetahs are pretty much genetically siblings this was mainly due to the last ice age reducing
their population to almost nothing. What is this an example of>
bottleneck effect
