Biology 182 ASU Exam 1Key point #1 - CORRECT ANSWER-Even the most desperate organisms share some
features, suggesting that

species, Rapid change and global climate, habitat destruction, Deforestation
What are three Worlds Views? - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Natural Evolution - Evolution
by natural process
2. Theistic Evolution - Evolution guided by God
3. Creation - Species created by God

animals. - CORRECT ANSWER-USA responded with 40 % true
True or False #3: Scientists believe in Evolution even though they currently lack
evidence for the theory. - CORRECT ANSWER-False! Based on know mechanisms:
Natural Selection, Mutation, and Genetic Drift
Key Point #2 - CORRECT ANSWER-Biologists accept evolutionary theory because its
predictions match observations.
True or False #4: Extreme temperatures of 2015 are sufficient evidence to conclude that
Earth is warming. - CORRECT ANSWER-False! Not enough data to show trend.
Single Temperature - CORRECT ANSWER-Datum
Normal Temperature - CORRECT ANSWER-Mean (Average)
Temperature Anomaly - CORRECT ANSWER-Deviation
Mean Anomaly - CORRECT ANSWER-Standard Deviation
Key Point #3 - CORRECT ANSWER-When something varies over space and time, one
must compare sufficient samples to quantify effects accurately.
,True or False #4: When calculating a normal temperature, one should include as many
years as possible. - CORRECT ANSWER-False! Climatologists tend to use a thirty year
period.
What does Replicating Observations do? - CORRECT ANSWER-Increases reliability of
patterns
What does Control Conditions do? - CORRECT ANSWER-Isolates effects of certain
factors
What does Random Subjects do? - CORRECT ANSWER-Decreases bias from
uncontrolled factors
What is Creationism and Catastrophism? - CORRECT ANSWER-All species created in
six days, Earth is 6,000 years old, species fixed, extinctions from catastrophe. Leading
Biologist/ Paleontologist who championed this science/theory/belief Georges Cuvier
(1769-1832).
True or False #5: Darwin's worldview when leaving England would best be described as
Creationism. - CORRECT ANSWER-True! He was originally trying to become a doctor
then clergyman then he finally became a Naturalist and joined Captain Fitzroy on the H.
M. S. Beagle.
What did Charles Lyell contribute to science in the context of Darwinian Evolution? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Charles Lyell (1797-1875) believed in the old earth ideologies
and slow and gradual change. (Old Earth theory - billions and billions of years old)
What do Charles Darwin, Charles Lyell, and Alfred Wallace have in common? -
CORRECT ANSWER-Wallace came to same "Natural Selection" idea at similar time as
Darwin did. Lyell read from Wallace's Report and Darwin's report
Key Point # 4 - CORRECT ANSWER-Darwin abandoned a theory of Creationism for a

True or False #6: Darwin could not have proposed natural selection without abandoning
the idea of creation. - CORRECT ANSWER-False!
What book did Darwin write? - CORRECT ANSWER-The Origin of Species
Phenotypes - CORRECT ANSWER-The trait that we see (look for def in book)

offspring has to be similar to parents (heritable).
What are the necessary conditions of Natural Selection? Check the accuracy of this. -
CORRECT ANSWER-1. Heritable Variation
2. Differences in Reproduction
Key Point #5 - CORRECT ANSWER-Natural Selection occurs whenever heritable
phenotypes cause some individuals to reproduce more than others.
True or False #8: Organisms evolve by natural selection. - CORRECT ANSWER-False!
Not organism but the population. Populations evolve not single organism.
What did Darwin breed to display artificial selection? - CORRECT ANSWER-Darwin
breed a variety of pigeons and the variety was created by artificial selection.
True or False #8: Artificial selection requires heritable variation in a trait. - CORRECT
ANSWER-True!
Key Point #6 - CORRECT ANSWER-Artificial Selection confirms the potential for
populations to evolve through natural selection.
True or False #9: Populations stopped evolving after twenty-five generations, likely
because no genetic variation in lethal temperature remained. - CORRECT
ANSWER-True! Traits can't evolve forever. (Verify the validity of this explanation)
What are the two ingredients are necessary for Natural Selection? - CORRECT
ANSWER-1. Phenotypic Selection - Some phenotypes reproduce more than others.
2. Genetic Response - these phenotypes are at least partially heritable.
True or False #9: According to the model of Blending Inheritance, a mom with Red eyes
and a Dad with white eyes would produce a mixture of offspring: some with red eyes
and some with white eyes. - CORRECT ANSWER-False! We wouldn't get red and white
but a blend of the two colors according to the blending inheritance theory.
