Chapter 22 follow up

1. Where are the Solomon Islands located?


a.
in the South Pacific
2. Scientists studying evolution on the Solomon Islands described
which animal as the poster child for the biological species
concept?
a.
white-eye bird
3. Based on the video, what can you infer about speciation--the
process by which one species splits into two or more species?
a.

Physical separation of populations is often part of the


speciation process.
4. Why did the biologists consider a frog that they found to be a
new species?
a.
Its call was unique.
5. When Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species, he knew very little
about the subject of _____, an essential component of
evolutionary theory today.
a. Genetics
6. The breeding of plants and animals for particular traits by
humans is called __________.
a.
artificial selection
7. Varieties of Staphylococcus aureus that are resistant to the drug
methicillin _____.
a.

already existed in the population before methicillin was


developed

b.

were strongly selected for as methicillin became widely


used to treat bacterial infections

c.
The second and fourth answers are correct.
8. Vestigial organs are __________.
a.

remnants of structures that were useful to an


organism's ancestors, but which are now non-functional or
show reduced function
9. Which of the following is an example of convergent evolution?
a.

Dolphins and sharks have a similar streamlined body


shape.
10.
A population of zooplankton is exposed to a small number
of predatory fish that feed on the larger-sized (adult)
zooplankton. Which of the following predictions would most likely
occur based on the principles of natural selection?
a.

The population will come to contain adult zooplankton


that reach sexual maturity when they are still relatively
small.

11.

Identify the pair of homologous structures.

a.
Maple leaf and oak leaf
12.
What happened in the soapberry bug population in central
Florida when the bugs began to feed on smaller goldenrain tree
fruits?
a.

Bugs with shorter beaks had more access to food,


allowing them to produce more offspring.
13.
The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similar
skeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones in whales
have very different shapes and proportions. However, genetic
data suggest that all three kinds of organisms diverged from a
common ancestor at about the same time. Which of the following
is the most likely explanation for these data?
a.

Natural selection in an aquatic environment resulted in


significant changes to whale forelimb anatomy.
14.
When they were first sold, aerosol insecticides were highly
effective in killing flies and mosquitoes. Now, several decades
later, a much smaller proportion of these insects die when
sprayed. The reason fewer insects die when they are sprayed is
that __________.
a.

many mosquitoes today are descendants of mosquitoes


with insecticide-resistant characteristics
15.
How did some strains of Staphylococcus aureus become
resistant to antibiotic drugs?
a.

Some members of the bacteria population must have


had a genetic variation that made them resistant to
antibiotics, and these bacteria had greater reproductive
success than sensitive individuals.
