    1. The document contains a knowledge check with 10 true/false statements about evolution and natural selection. Most statements are true. 2. It also contains 10 multiple choice questions matching evolutionary mechanisms like natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow to descriptions. 3. The knowledge check covers core concepts in evolution including adaptation, inheritance of traits, genes, mutation, survival of the fittest, and how organisms are suited to their environments.

    KNOWLEDGE CHECK

    A. Read each statement carefully. Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is not.

    TRUE 1. Modern species look different from their ancestors because they have descended with
    modification.

    FALSE 2. Understanding geology does not give sufficient help in noting the changes of
    populations from generation to generation.

    FALSE 3. All organisms do not have a common ancestor.

    TRUE 4. Individual organisms differ from one another. Some of their differences are inherited.

    TRUE 5. Genes play important roles in evolution of organisms.

    FALSE 6. Mutation always gives a negative effect on the evolution of an organism.

    TRUE 7. The term “survival of the fittest” is mostly associated with natural selection.

    TRUE 8. Many plants and animals today are remarkably well-suited to the environment they live
    in.

    TRUE 9. A key factor in the survival of organisms is how well they adapt to their environment.

    FALSE 10. Because most present-day humans no longer live-in natural environments, natural
    selection is no longer operating to shape their evolution.

    B. In each item, identify the most appropriate mechanism of population change associated with
    it. Choose from the options in the box.

    Natural Selection 1. Survival of the fittest

    Gene flow 2. Also known as gene migration

    Non-Random Mating 3. May result in inbreeding and outbreeding

    Artificial selection 4. Choosing desirable traits to pass on to the offspring

    Genetic drift 5. Related to population bottleneck and founder effect

    Gene flow 6. Caused by emigration or immigration of a population

    Natural Selection 7. Variation provided with the help of human interaction

    Recombination 8. Reassortment of genes through new chromosome combination

    Genetic drift 9. Unpredictable changes in allele frequency due to small population size
    Mutation 10. Change at the DNA level that may affect the chromosomes and
    eventually the organism’s chances of survival and reproduction.
