A stone fly and a cattus fly mated and their offspring was sterile, therefore they are the same species

false

Individuals with higher fitness have a better chance to reproduce

true

Evolution occurs in populations and not in individual organisms

true

Reproductive isolation is an important part of microevolution

false

Binomial nomenclature uses genus and family to identify organisms

false, it uses genus and species

microevolution occurs more rapidly than macroevolution

true

broccoli evolved from a wild mustard plant due to natural selection

true

sometimes organisms that look the same are actually different species

true

shared gene pool prevent the development of reproductive isolation

true

all mammals birds and reptile embryos have gill slits at one time. This is an example of convergence

false, its an example of comparative embryology

A gene pool includes all the alleles of an individual organism

false, includes it for the entire population



in biology, fitness measures physical strength

false

the similarities in fore limbs in humans, bats and whales is called homologous structures, this evidence is called comparative embryology

true, false

microevolution includes the changes in allele frequencies in an individual

false, no evolution happens at the individual level

different dog breeds came about due to natural selection

false, artificial selection

humans are part of the kingdom animalia

true


The 4th largest level of taxonomic classification is phylum

false, class

the presence of citochrome c in aerobic organisms is evidence of a common ancestor

true

in artificial selection, humans act as the population

false, we act as the envirnmental pressures

cats are part of the domain archadia

false, animals

the common ancestor is found at the center of a platogram

false, found at the bottom

the change from peppered moths to black moths is due to a mutation in the population

false, due to its environment

stabilizing selection causes two extremes of the trait to become more common

false, distributive

natural selections results in offspring better suited to a future environment

false, it creates offspring better suited for the environment NOW

reproductive isolation is necessary for speciation to occur

true

plant pollinator relationship provide benefits to all involved

false

to be the same species, offspring must be viable and fertile

true

in strategrophy the top layer is the youngest layer

true

phylogenetics is a study of evolutionary relationships

true

frogs with specific mating calls are an example of temporal isolation

false, they are an example of

genetic divergence is when populations accumulate genetic changes through time

true
