a. Biogeography b. Geography c. Stratigraphy d. Oceanography
11. Natural selection is usually described as the “_____________”
a. survival of the fittest b. survival of the organisms c. survival of the adaptation d. survival of evolution

a. Fitness b. Survival c. Adaptation d. Homeostasis
13. When natural selection favors a particular or one extreme trait present in every member of the population over all other forms, this
phenomenon is called _____________.
a. Directional selection b. Stabilizing selection c. Disruptive selection
14. Two extreme phenotypes or characteristics are favored for, while the intermediate condition is selected against this phenomenon is
called ___________.

II. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE: Write True if the underlined word makes the sentence correct. On the other hand, if the
underlined word makes the sentence incorrect, change the underlined word to make the sentence correct.
_____________1. The discovery of the fossilized Archaeopteryx, with a body that looks like a small dinosaur with feathers, has linked
birds more related to dinosaurs than to other reptiles.
_____________2. Human adults experience a decline in lactose digestion as they grow older, a condition known as lactose
intolerance.
_____________3. Sexual selection also plays a role in natural selection and is directly related to courtship and mating behaviors.
_____________4. Microevolution is the genetic change in population over multiple generations.
_____________5. Inbreeding of some organisms prefer to mate with relatives who are similar to them than with unrelated members.
_____________6. In nature, female’s selective preference and male competition can lead to a condition called sexual dimorphism.
_____________7. The neck effect happens when the size of the population is severely reduced, few surviving individuals to reproduce
and reestablish in the new environment.
_____________8. The situations when the gene distribution in small populations evolve randomly by chance observed in a
phenomenon called genetic drift.
_____________9. The founder effect is observed when few individuals become separated from the rest of the population, such as
natural disturbance, and are able to establish a territory or colony.
_____________10. The small shifts in allele frequencies among populations is known as microevolution.
_____________11. The big changes that can happen in allele frequencies among population is called macroevolution.
_____________12. Immigration refers to individuals moving into an existing group of population.
_____________13. Emigration happens when certain members leave their group.
_____________14. Gene flow refers to movement of alleles out of a population such as during emigration, which could lead to
reduction in genetic variation.
_____________15. Species refers to a group of organisms that have similar characteristics can interbreed and produce fertile
offsprings.

_______________5. Species that could become endangered due to the threats in their environment.
_______________6. It is used to describe the case of two or more nonbreeding species affecting each other’s survival
and evolution.
_______________7. It occurs when closely related species divert to new habitats, often result of diverging lifestyles,
ultimately producing distinct species.
_______________8. The groups of distantly related lineages tend to evolve similar structures as adaptations to a
similar habitat or way of life.
_______________9. Organs that have different functions but have similarities in structures.
_______________10. It refers to a group of organisms that have similar characteristics and can interbreed and
produce fertile offsprings.
