Parents/Guardian –
 I have reviewed my child’s activities and
homework for the week of 3/2/- 3/6/09.
 I understand that is important for me to
make sure that my child is prepared for
the Quiz on Tuesday 3/3/09 and
3/10/09, and has completed all
assignments this week.
 I understand if my child needs to retake a
quiz that the original quiz with corrected
answers, signed by a parent, must be
turned in when the quiz is retaken on
Tuesday after school.

Monday – When mountain lions prey on a herd of deer, some deer are killed and some escape.
Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selection might be used to describe this situation?

Tuesday - True/False
________ Scientists believe that all living things, including daisies, crocodiles, and humans share a
common ancestor.
________ A great number of species have died out since life first appeared on Earth.
________ The first mammals appeared on Earth at about the same time as the first terrestrial plants.
Wednesday –
A field of crops was sprayed with pesticides to control a population of
insects that was eating the crop. Only 1% of the insects survived. The
same amount and type of pesticide was sprayed on the field each year
for the next 4 years. The graph shows the percentage of insects that
survived each year after the pesticide was used.
Why was the pesticide less effective each year in its ability to
control the target population of insects?
Thursday/Friday Comparisons are made between two different organisms by finding the place where the two
lines intersect. The number where the columns and rows intersect shows how many amino acids are different in
the cytochrome c of both organisms. For example, the number of amino acids that are different when comparing
a rabbit's cytochrome c with a tuna's cytochrome c is 17. The larger the number, the greater the difference in
the structure of the cytochrome c molecules of the two
organisms.
What is the relationship between:
turtle and monkey
tuna and rattlesnake
chicken and rabbit
duck and kangaroo
tuna and turtle
rabbit and pig
kangaroo and rabbit
turtle and duck
Which pair of organisms is least closely related?
Which of these pairs of organisms is most closely related?

change is
3. When mountain lions prey on a herd of deer, some deer are killed and some escape and reproduce.
Which part of Darwin’s concept of natural selection might be used to describe this situation?
4. In order for a species to survive, it must be able to _________________
a) consume a wide variety of food
c) maintain a constant body temperature

d) destroy competing species
5. Which animal species has a better chance of surviving an extreme change in temperature?
a.
b.

B mutate
C become extinct
D fossilize
________________________
A. The genetic contribution of an individual to succeeding
generations.

B. Two populations are isolated if their members are unable to
interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Structural,
behavioral, and biochemical features can prevent
interbreeding and thus isolate populations as distinct species.

development

the organism in its environment

E. The separation of populations by barriers such as rivers,
mountains, or bodies of water.

marginal or no use to the organism.

reduction in population size.

Extra Credit
________In the early stages of development, the embryos of dogs, pigs, and humans resemble one another. This
observation suggests that these animals may have _______.
a. the same blood components
c. similar habitat requirements
b. a common ancestry
d. a similar number of chromosomes
________Which of these would most likely cause a mutation?
a. the release of messenger RNA from DNA
b. the placement of ribosomes on the endoplasmic reticulum
c. the movement of transfer RNA out of the nucleus
d. the insertion of a nucleotide into DNA
a)
b)
During the fall reproductive season, the
belly of a male brook trout becomes bright
orange. The orange belly provides some
camouflage and helps attract females.
This trait evolved in brook trout
because, compared to males with pale
bellies, males with bright orange bellies are
more likely to
A. live in good habitats.
B. be eaten by predators.
C. mate with other species of fi sh.
D. fertilize eggs to produce offspring.
c)
There are two types of modern whales:
toothed whales and baleen whales. Baleen whales filter plankton from the water using baleen, plates
made of fibrous proteins that grow from the roof of their mouths. The embryos of baleen whales have
teeth in their upper jaws. As the embryos develop, the teeth are replaced with baleen.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by this information?
A. Primitive whales had teeth as adults.
B. Toothed whales descended from baleen whales.
C. Baleen whales are evolving into toothed whales.
D. Descendants of modern baleen whales will have both teeth and baleen as adults.
