Question

8. What determines whether a mutation will be neutral, harmful, or beneficial? a) the cause of mutation b) where in the organism the mutation occurs c) the environment d) which gene mutates e) none of these; mutations are always harmful 9. Unlike many scientific concepts (e.g. conversation of mass and gravity), Evolution is considered a theory, and not a law. Why is it called the theory of evolution? a) no one has seen selection at work b) there is no evidence supporting evolution c) some people do not believe in it d) it accounts for all evidence as completely as possible e) the government has not passed it into law 10.which of the following pairs of structures is homologous? a) the hind legs of a grasshopper; the hind legs of a kangaroo b) the wing of a bird; the wing of a bat c) the eye of a mammal; the eye of a fish d) the hind leg of a horse; the leg of a human 11.in this process of evolution, which changes over a period of time? a) a population b) an individual c) a fossil d) only extinct organisms 12.in order for genes to stay in a population, the organisms with those genes must: a) survive b) migrate c) reproduce d) both a and c 13.which represents a means of change for an organism? a) mutation b) environment c) sexual reproduction of genes d) both a and c 14.what has happened when isolated populations no longer interbreed? a) speciation b) genetic isolation c) genes are no longer exchanged between populations
