Life Science Ch. 5
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| God's grouping of organisms as a distinct group that can reproduce. | the Kind |
| The description of the Creation means death could not exist and evolution could not have been God's method of producing organisms before man's sin | Very Good! |
| Evidences of the flood such as the Grand Canyon are also signs of God's __________________ | judgement |
| What kind of flood was the flood of the Bible? | global, worldwide |
| What arrangement of fossils indicates that many organisms died quickly and were quickly buried? | fossil graveyards |
| Two reasons that the Bible and Evolution cannot be harmonized. | It would ignore the plain meaning of the Bible and evolution would involve death before man's sin that resulted in the existence of death |
| What was the movement that involved the belief that only "fit" human beings should be allowed to reproduce? | eugenics |
| Who believed Darwin's theory of Natural Selection gave him scientific support for considering some people as subhuman? | Hitler |
| A change from one kind of organism into another would require new _______________. | information |
| What is the condition in which all organisms are created? | fully formed |
| What do we call the accumulated random mutations within the DNA of a population? | genetic load |
| On what two things do evolutionists base their evolutionary family trees? | similarities of structure and of DNA |
| What was passed on the earth as a result of man's sin? | The Curse |
| Give three evidences that the Flood of the Bible was not a local flood. | Fossil graveyards, fossils on every continent, the size of animals that were fossilized requires more water than a local flood |
| What type of rock are most fossils found in? | sedimentary rock |
| What would be necessary to change one kind of organism into different kind? | new information in the DNA |
| What is missing in the fossil record that would be necessary to prove evolution occurred? | transitional forms |
| 3 attempts to harmonize the Bible with evolution | Day-Age theory, Gap theory, allegorical interpretation |
| What does naturalism take away from life or living? | meaning |
| What both creationists and evolutionists must have to support their views? | faith |
| What is the primary means of laying down sediment? | flowing water |
| A change in DNA | mutation |
| A principle that geologic processes that occurred in the past can be explained by current geologic processes | Uniformitarianism |
| Another expression for natural selection | survival of the fittest |
| another term for carbon-14 dating. | radiocarbon dating |
| chemicals have replaced the organism's tissues | mineralized fossils |
| Darwin's occupation onboard the ship | naturalist |
| Darwin's principle of an evolutionary process in which organisms that are best adapted to their environment will survive and produce offspring | natural selection |
| formed when a mold is filled with more sediment | casts |
| fossil like a printed image of a plant | carbonized fossils |
| Method of determining the age of a fossil and the rock layer it is in by comparing its placement with that of other layers of rock | relative dating |
| method of determining the age of rocks based on the amounts of certain radioactive substances in the rocks | absolute dating |
| Name of Darwin's book | On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection |
| preserved evidence of an organism that is not a part of the organism, example: tracks, teeth marks, burrows | trace fossils |
| preserved remains of bone and fur or an insect. Usually occurred when animals died and were trapped in amber, a tar pit, ice or bogs. | Original Material Fossil |
| preserved remains of plants and animals | fossils |
| process of finding out the age of rocks | dating |
| Ship that Darwin sailed on | HMS Beagle |
| similar features shared by different organisms | homologous structures |
| Structures that have no apparent function and appear to be leftovers from past ancestors | vestigial structures |
| the accumulation of mutations within a population of organisms | genetic load |
| The biggest problems regarding the dating rocks based on unstable isotopes | assumptions about decay rates and the condition in which rocks were formed |
| the birds with different beaks that Darwin observed | finches |
| the coelacanths and other plants and animals today that are unchanged from their fossil forms | living fossils |
| the in-between forms that are missing from the fossil record | transitional forms |
| the study of the similarities of organisms in their early development that are assumed to be because they had common ancestors | embryology |
| the term for the organism at a branching point of an evolutionary diagram | common ancestor |
| the upper limit of ages for radiocarbon dating | 100,000 yrs |
| theory that proposes that organisms can obtain new traits during their lifetimes | theory of acquired characteristics |
| To what do creationists attribute homologous structures instead of common ancestors? | a common designer |
| type of rock fossils are found in | sedimentary rock |
| what carbon-14 becomes after it decays | carbon-12 |
| What evolutionists think produced new traits in organisms | mutations |
| formed when an organism decays completely after being buried and leaves behind an empty space | mold |
| What were two examples of animals that he saw on his journey to the Galapagos helped him fashion his particular theory regarding evolution? | finches and tortoises |
| What word describes the frequency of mutations? | rare |
| What is the nature of mutations that causes them to be mostly harmful? | random |
| What characteristic of most mutations keeps them from being affected by natural selection either positively or negatively? | recessive |
