🗑
|

| 9.2 (continued) Use Darwin's reasoning to explain how natural selection could produce such a creature from a slower animal. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Because species mutate and the changes may cause a higher chance of survival for the ones mutated.

| show | 9.4 continued-Since then, they have spread throughout the United States. Even though the original 100 birds were very similar, their descendants are not. In fact if you study the size of the house sparrows in the United States, you will find that they

| 9.4 continued- are bigger in the northern parts of the United States and smaller in the southern parts of the United States. Is this an example of microevolution or macroevolution? Can you think of what might have caused this difference in size? | show 🗑
|

| 9.5 Some biologists believe that the whale once had a cowlike ancestor that lived on land. This ancestor was very heavy, so it started spending a great deal of time in the water. The water helpedbuoy it up, making it easier for the animal to walk. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Macroevolution.
🗑
|
||||
| show | That it was formed by the slow accumulation of sediment over eons of time.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Because we aren't certain how it was formed.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Intermediate links.
🗑
|

| 9.9 What features on Archaeopteryx make macroevolutionists think that it is an intermediate link? What features make creation scientists think that it is not? | show 🗑
|
||||
| 9.10 Why do macroevolutionists consider Australopithecus afarensis an intermediate link between man and ape? Why do creation scientists think that it is not? | show 🗑
|

| 9.11 What major scientific breakthrough led to structural homology changing from evidence for macroevolution to evidence against it? | show 🗑
|

| show |
🗑
|
||||
| show | Amoeba, fish, frog, rat, human.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Because it shows that the order from simple to complex organisms isn't there.

| 9.14 What is the main difference between Darwin's hypothesis of macroevolution and the neo-Darwinist hypothesis? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The jumps in the fossil record.

| 9.16 The three graphs below are hypothetical graphs that plot macroevolutionary change (on the y-axis) versus time (on the x-axis). | show 🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
