PRINCIPLE
An isolated population can no
longer interbreed with the main
population, even if barriers are
removed
An adaptation of an organism that
protects the organism because its
appearance is similar to another
organism
A technique used for measuring
age; using an amount of radioactive
element left behind
The physical location of a
community of organisms
Genetic traits will stay the same
unless environmental pressures
cause them to change
The ability of an organism to blend
in with its surroundings
The means by which an effect is
produced; a purpose is
accomplished
Process where mating of organism
with a particular desirable trait to
produce offspring with this trait
Process where species are relatively
stable for long periods of time
interrupted by brief periods of
major changes
Any traces of dead organisms found
in swamps, tree sap, tar
A science that studies the
structures of plants and animals
The production of new species
Scientist who proposed the theory
of evolution by means of natural
selection
The concept where living things
come from non-living things
15. Biologists surveyed four islands in a
chain near a continent. They identified
species found on the mainland and
those species that were unique to each
island. Based on these results, which
island is probably farthest from the
mainland?
A1
B2
C3
D4
16. Charles Darwin proposed his theory
of evolution based on observations of
nature. Which observation that
contributed to his theory is illustrated
by this
population of beetles?
A Environmental resources are limited.
B Populations remain stable over time.
C Individuals within a population may vary
widely.
D Species produce more offspring than
can survive.
17. Monarch butterflies are toxic to
birds because monarch caterpillars eat
milkweed. Viceroy butterflies closely
resemble monarchs, but are not toxic
since the caterpillars do not eat
milkweed. This similarity in appearance
developed because viceroy butterflies
that closely resemble monarchs are —
F less likely to be eaten by birds
G more likely to mate with monarchs
H more likely to eat milkweed
J less likely to produce offspring
18. The table indicates the number of
amino acids that differ in the amino-acid
sequence of the hemoglobin from
selected organisms when compared to
human hemoglobin. On the basis of this
information, which organism would be
classified as most closely related to
humans?
A Lamprey
B Frog
C Dog
D Macaque
