 \nA) Earth is a few thousand years old, and populations are unchanging.  \nB) Earth is a few thousand years old, and populations gradually change.  \nC) Earth is millions of years old, and populations rapidly change.  \nD) Earth is millions of years old, and populations are unchanging.  \nE) Earth is millions of years old, and populations gradually change.  \n  3) During a study session about evolution, one of your fellow students remarks, \"The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; its offspring inherited longer necks as a result. \" Which statement is most likely to be helpful in correcting this student's misconception?  \nA) Characteristics acquired during an organism's life are generally not passed on through genes.  \nB) Spontaneous mutations can result in the appearance of new traits.  \nC) Only favorable adaptations have survival value.  \nD) Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance.  \nE) If the giraffes did not have to compete with each other, longer necks would not have been passed on to the next generation.  \n  4) Which of the following is the most accurate summary of Cuvier's consideration of fossils found in the vicinity of Paris?  \nA) extinction of species yes; evolution of new species yes  \nB) extinction of species no; evolution of new species yes  \nC) extinction of species yes; evolution of new species no  \nD) extinction of species no; evolution of new species yes  \n  5) In the mid–1900s, the Soviet geneticist Lysenko believed that his winter wheat plants, exposed to ever–colder temperatures, would eventually give rise to ever more cold–tolerant winter wheat. Lysenko's attempts in this regard were most in agreement with the ideas of  \nA) Cuvier.  \nB) Hutton.  \nC) Lamarck.  \nD) Darwin.  \nE) Lyell.  \n  6) Which of these conditions should completely prevent the occurrence of natural selection in a population over time?  \nA) All variation between individuals is due only to environmental factors.  \nB) The environment is changing at a relatively slow rate.  \nC) The population size is large.  \nD) The population lives in a habitat where there are no competing species present.   7) Natural selection is based on all of the following except  \nA) genetic variation exists within populations.  \nB) the best–adapted individuals tend to leave the most offspring.  \nC) individuals who survive longer tend to leave more offspring than those who die young.  \nD) populations tend to produce more individuals than the environment can support.  \nE) individuals adapt to their environments and, thereby, evolve.  \n  8) Which of the following represents an idea that Darwin learned from the writings of Thomas Malthus?  \nA) Technological innovation in agricultural practices will permit exponential growth of the human population into the foreseeable future.  \nB) Populations tend to increase at a faster rate than their food supply normally allows.  \nC) Earth changed over the years through a series of catastrophic upheavals.  \nD) The environment is responsible for natural selection.  \nE) Earth is more than 10,000 years old.  \n  9) A biologist studied a population of squirrels for 15 years. During that time, the population was never fewer than 30 squirrels and never more than 45. Her data showed that over half of the squirrels born did not survive to reproduce, because of both competition for food and predation. Ina single generation, 90% of the squirrels that were born lived to reproduce, and the population increased to 80.
