Some scientists use molecular evidence to study evolution. One type of molecular evidence is the amino acid sequence of particular protein in various species. Which of the following best describes what the study of these sequences reveals about the species? The more similar the sequences are, the faster the species will coevolve false The more similar the sequences are, the more closely related the species are. true The longer the sequences are, the earlier the species evolved in geologic history false The longer the sequences are, the more adapted the species are to their environments. false Single During his voyage on the Beagle, Charles Darwin made many observations… in England false in North America false on the Galapagos Islands true in Asia false Single Differences among individuals of a species are referred to as… Natural variation true Natural selection false adaptation false fitness false Single Natural selection can best be defined as the____________ survival of the biggest and strongest organisms in a population false elimination of the smallest organisms by the biggest organisms false survival and reproduction of the organisms that occupy the largest area false survival and reproduction of the organisms that are genetically best adapted to the environment. true Single Some organisms that share a common ancestor have features that have different functions, but similar structures.  These are known as_______ vestigial structures false analogous structures false homologous structures true fossil structures false Single The phrase "Survival of the Fittest" would best describe… Natural Selection true Artificial Selection false Selective Breeding false Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics false Single It states that characteristics of organisms change in response to environmental needs. Principle of use and disuse true spontaneous generation false acquired characteristics false Principles of Geology false Single According to Darwin’s theory of natural selection, individuals who survive are the ones best adapted for their environment. This is due to the… Adaptations developed through use. false Inherited adaptations that maximize fitness true Lack of competition within the species false Choices made by plant and animal breeders false Single What is the term for the preserved remains of an ancient organism? Fossils true Vestigial organs false Homologous structure false More than one answer is correct false Single  Jean-Baptiste Lamarck proposed that organisms  have an innate tendency toward complexity and perfection. true have an innate tendency to become simpler as time passes. false inherit all of the adaptations they display. false belong to species that never change. false Single
