Apologia Biology Module 9
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the immutability of species? | The idea that each individual species on the planet was specially created by God and could never fundamentally change. |
| What is Microevolution? | The theory that natural selection can, over time, take an organism and transform it into a more specialized species of that organism. |
| What is Macroevolution? (Not the textbook definition because I didn't understand it! All of this is the actual definition, but there is some missing.) | The hypothesis of a process that can, over eons of time, transform an organism into a completely different kind of organism. |
| What are Strata? | Distinct layers of rock. |
| What are Fossils? | Preserved remains of once-living organisms. |
| What is Paleontology? | The study of fossils. |
| What is Structural homology? | The study of similar structures in different species. |
| What two concepts promoted by other scientists influenced Darwin in developing his idea? | |
| Why is Darwin's hypothesis sometimes called "the survival of the fittest?" | |
| What is the biggest assumption that must be made in order to interpret the geological column as evidence for macroevolution? | |
| Why is the geological column not conclusive evidence for or against macroevolution? | |
| If macroevolution really occurred, would you except to find more fossils of individual species or intermediate links? | |
| What features on Archaeopteryx make macroevolutionists think that it is an intermediate link? What features make creation scientists think that it is not? | |
| Why do macroevolutionists consider Australopithecus Afarensis an intermediate link between man and ape? Why do creation scientists think that it is not? | |
| What major scientific breakthrough led to structural homology changing from evidence for macroevolution to evidence against it? | |
| Why is the comparison of amino acid sequences in common proteins such a useful tool in determining whether or not macroevolution occurred? | |
| What is the main difference between Darwin's hypothesis of macroevolution and the neo-Darwinist hypothesis? | |
| What does punctuated equilibrium explain that neo-Darwinism and Darwin's original hypothesis cannot? |
