Parents/Guardian –
 I have reviewed my child’s activities and
homework for the week of 2/25/- 2/29/08.
 I understand that is important for me to make
sure that my child is prepared for the Quiz
on Tuesday 2/26/08 and 3/4/08, 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.

Unit 5 Quiz 3 Questions (3/4/08)
1.
Which animal species has a better chance of surviving an
extreme change in temperature?
2. Spraying DDT to kill mosquitoes became less effective
each year the pesticide was used. This decrease in the
effectiveness was probably caused by the fact that
_________________________________.
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. According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection,
individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for
their environment. Their survival is due to the
5. A genetic change will be maintained in a population if the
change _________________________________.
6. Although similar in many respects, two species of
organisms exhibit differences that make each well
adapted to the environment in which it lives. The process
of change that may account for these differences is
_____________________.
7. Geographic and reproductive isolation can result in
______________________________________.
8. All the genes of all members of a particular population
make up the population’s___________________
9. The idea that evolution takes place at one point in
time, followed by a long period without change is
10. The idea that evolution takes place at a continuous but
very slow rate is known as ___________________.

Bell Ringers: Week of 25 Feb – 29 Feb 2008
Monday – Explain one way fossils are formed and why there are gaps in the fossil record
Tuesday - True/False with sentence of explanation
_________ 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?

Vocabulary words Matching (11 – 20):
____ Reproductive
isolation
A. The genetic contribution of an individual to succeeding generations
relative to the contributions of other individuals in the population.
_____ Punctuated
equilibrium
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.
_____ Geographic
Isolation
C. a branch of biology dealing with embryos and their development
_____ Founder
effect
D. A peculiarity of structure, physiology, or behavior that aids the organism
in its environment
_____ Embryology
E. The separation of populations by barriers such as rivers, mountains, or
bodies of water.
_____ Adaptation
F. A type of homologous structure that is rudimentary and of marginal or no
use to the organism.
_____ Speciation
G. A cause of genetic drift attributable to colonization by a limited number
of individuals from a parent population.
_____ Fitness
H. Changes in the gene pool of populations due to chance.
_____ Vestigial
Structure
I. A theory of evolution advocating spurts of relatively rapid change
followed by long periods of stasis.
_____ Genetic Drift
J. The origin of new species in evolution.

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
