Well–adapted individuals leave more offspring than do poorly adapted individuals.  \n2. A change occurs in the environment.  \n3. Genetic frequencies within the population change.  \n4. Poorly adapted individuals have decreased survivorship.  \nA) 2 → 4 → 1 → 3  \nB) 4 → 2 → 1 → 3  \nC) 4 → 1 → 2 → 3  \nD) 4 → 2 → 3 → 1  \nE) 2 → 4 → 3 → 1  \n  5) The role that humans play in artificial selection is to  \nA) determine who lives and who dies.  \nB) create the genetic variants, which nature then selects.  \nC) choose which organisms breed, and which do not.  \nD) train organisms to breed more successfully.  \nE) perform artificial insemination.  \n  6) Currently, two extant elephant species (X and Y) are placed in the genus Loxodonta, and a third species (Z) is placed in the genus Elephas. Thus, which statement should be true?  \nA) Species X and Y are not related to species Z.  \nB) Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.  \nC) Species X and Y share a common ancestor that is still extant (in other words, not yet extinct) .  \nD) Species X and Y are the result of artificial selection from an ancestral species Z.  \nE) Species X, Y, and Z share a common ancestor, but nothing more can be claimed than this.  \n  7) DDT was once considered a \"silver bullet\" that would permanently eradicate insect pests. Today, instead, DDT is largely useless against many insects. Which of these would have been required for this pest eradication effort to be successful in the long run?  \nA) Larger doses of DDT should have been applied.  \nB) All habitats should have received applications of DDT at about the same time.  \nC) The frequency of DDT application should have been higher.  \nD) None of the individual insects should have possessed genomes that made them resistant to DDT.  \nE) DDT application should have been continual.  \n  8) Of the following anatomical structures, which is homologous to the bones in the wing of a bird?  \nA) cartilage in the dorsal fin of a shark  \nB) bones in the hind limb of a kangaroo  \nC) chitinous struts in the wing of a butterfly  \nD) bony rays in the tail fin ","cbCaioMirWAH7C4y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioMirWAH7C4y","pdf",78857,"English","# AP Biology Unit 1 Practice Exam: Evolution\n## Evolution misconceptions and selection processes\n## Artificial selection and resistance\n## Homology, embryonic development, and evolutionary interpretation\n## Gene expression, microevolution, and population genetics calculations","[{\"question\":\"Which concept helps correct the misconception that giraffe neck length changes are inherited from use or stretching?\",\"answer\":\"Acquired characteristics gained during an organism’s lifetime are generally not passed on through genes.
