Taxonomy is the science responsible for:

The timeline of the evolutionary history of a specie is called:

The theory based on the idea that all species are related and gradually change over time is called:

Adaptive convergence is:

The theory which says that an organism can pass on to its offspring physical characteristics that the parent organism acquired through use or disuse during its lifetime is called:

The best way to summarize Darwinism is:

A specie is:

Parapatric speciation happens when:

Neo-darwinists say:

Adaptive divergence is the process by which related species:

Fixism theory says that:

Evolutionism says that:

Evolutionist theories are:

On this list we can find a famous fixism scientist:

In this list we can find two scientists who are evolutionists:

Darwin lived:

In this list we can find two famous scientists who are fixism:

Cuvier, a paleontologist scientist, believed that species were unchangeable. Perhaps, he realized while he was studying some fossils that older living things were different than the actual ones. How did he try to solve this controversy?

Lamarck lived during:

Bat or insect wings are an example of:

This is an image of a circulatory system from a:

This is a circulatory system from an amphibian because:

This is an image of a circulatory system from a:

I know it is a fish because:

Fins of whales and arms of humans are example of:

Sharks and dolphins are animals that belong to two really different groups; fish and mammals respectively. However, they have a similar shape, which makes this an example of:

An important anatomical evidence os the evolution process is the development of the circulatory system from vertebrates. This is proved because the most complex circulatory systems appear in:

The next affirmation: “As moles live underground, in the darkness, adapted by losing sight”. This sentence is:

Polar bears are white. How can this fact be explained according to darwinist theories?

The next affirmation: “As nits are parasites, the growth of its wings have been atrophied”. This sentence is:

One of these principles is darwinism characterized:

Polar bears are white. How can this fact be explained according to darwinist theories?

This picture shows evolution according to:

This picture shows the evolution process according to:

Here we can see a Drosophila with vestigial, short wings. This variety can’t fly and doesn’t exist in nature, however it frequently shows up when it is bred in big numbers in the laboratory for genetical experiments, it is reproduced easily. How can its apparition in the laboratory be explained?

This image shows how snakes developed from reptiles with legs. What interpretation is neo-darwinist?

This image shows how snakes developed from reptiles with legs. What interpretation is darwinist?

This image shows how snakes developed from reptiles with legs. What interpretation is based on Lamarckism?

Here we can see a Drosophila with vestigial, short wings. This variety can’t fly and doesn’t exist in nature. What’s the reason why we can’t find it in nature?

Why on those small islands exposed to wind insects tend to don’t have wings? Choose the neo-darwinist interpretation.

Charles Darwin left some studies when he decided he would be naturalist. Choose the correct answer:

What’s studied on paleontological evidences?

Which of the following doesn’t belong to those type of evidences that show the validity of the evolution theory?

The theory against evolutionism suggest considering that all the living things were directly created just as they actually are. This concept is called:

What birds did Darwin study in the Galapagos Islands, that led him to consider that some species turn into others?

Those organs that aren’t useful any longer are good evolution evidences. These organs are:

Ontogeny is a reflect of phylogeny. It is a summary of:

If we claim the neck and legs of giraffes have extended over time as an adaptation to the changes that have occurred in the environment, what evolutionary theory will we be referring to?

Choose which theory corresponds to the following statement: "In the struggle for survival, some individuals will be more successful than others. Those who survive and reproduce because they have some favourable variations will leave more descendants than those with less favourable variations. Thus, in a continuous and gradual way, the species will change. “

Order the assumptions of Lamarck’s theory, the predominant way of thinking until the 19th century. A) New habits arise, which cause atrophy or the development of some organs. B) Modifications will be transmitted to the offspring. C) The conditions of the environment vary over time. D) Environmental changes create new needs that modify habits and behaviours.

Indicate which of the following ideas or principles was rejected by the synthetic theory of evolution or Neo-Darwinism.

What theory establishes a struggle for the survival of members of a species competing with each other for limited resources and considers that some variations are more successful than others?

What do gradualism and saltationism have in common?

Which of the following statements best reflects the theory of neutralism?

“50 million years ago, horses lived in forests and were small. Due to climate change, the forests gave way to grasslands and the size of horses increased and their legs became stronger and more agile in order to defend against predators.” What concept is being discussed in this text?

Indicate which of the following processes does not favour genetic variability.

“The [blank_start]synthetic[blank_end], theory of evolution, or Lamarckism , connected the theory of natural selection with new discoveries from genetics, palaeontology and ecology”. “The [blank_start]synthetic[blank_end], theory continues to maintain [blank_start]synthetic[blank_end] selection as the main evolutionary mechanism and defines evolution as a [blank_start]sudden change[blank_end] in genetic makeup of populations”.

Complete the following text: The synthetic theory of evolution or [blank_start]Neo-Darwinism[blank_end] can be summarised in these principles: The evolutionary unit is not the individual, but the [blank_start]population[blank_end]. Individuals are carriers of different [blank_start]alleles[blank_end], which originated by [blank_start]mutation[blank_end]. Certain phenotypes will be more likely to leave [blank_start]offspring[blank_end], so that in later generations the alleles responsible for these will become more [blank_start]frequent[blank_end].

As species adapt to the environment through natural selection, indicate a example of mutations that can facilitate adaptation to the following scenarios. Polar zones. [blank_start]White fur[blank_end]. Meadows. [blank_start]Strong legs to run fast[blank_end]. Jungles. [blank_start]Limbs adapted to trees[blank_end]. Deserts. [blank_start]Absence of hair[blank_end]
