Question 5 options: diversity uniformity social pressure physical adversity Question 6 (1 point) .0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png” alt=”Question 6 unsaved”> Evolution is the central concept that explains biology because _____ of the features of organisms are the result of evolutionary change.

Question 9 options: lipids carbohydrates proteins nucleic acids 1. complex organic substances present in living cells whose molecules consist of many nucleotides linked in a long chain 2. any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids 3. any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars 4. a class of organic compounds that include fatty acidsenzymes / substances produced by living organisms that act as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction Question 10 (1 point) .0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png” alt=”Question 10 unsaved”> Why is evolution a unifying theme in biology? Question 10 options: It explains the unity and diversity of life. No levels of life have systems that are related. Structure and function are unrelated in biology. Organisms that maintain homeostasis cannot survive in diverse environments. Question 11 (1 point) .0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png” alt=”Question 11 unsaved”> A storm blew a species of small beaked birds a few hundred miles beyond their normal migratory path. The berries in the new location were slightly larger and much firmer but better tasting than the berries they normally eat. The birds also had fewer natural predators in the new location. What will most probably happen to the birds? Question 11 options: All the birds will thrive despite their small-sized beaks. All of the birds will try to fly away because they are in the wrong location. None of the birds will thrive since the berries are larger and firmer. Because beak size varied in the bird population individuals with larger beaks will be selected for and the population will adapt.

Question 13 (1 point) .0/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png” alt=”Question 13 unsaved”> We know that variations are inherited at least in part. Which of the following aspects of natural selection supports this fact? Choose all that apply. Question 13 options: Genetic mutation occurs in all species and when inherited may lead to increased survival. As animals move from one environment to another the individuals with the variations that are conducive to that environment thrive. Plants grow towards the sunlight in an effort to create more chlorophyll. Plant roots grow deeper into the ground to find water when there is a shortage.

Question 15 options: Individuals don’t evolve but over time species evolve becoming better adapted to their habitats and occasionally producing new offspring. Individuals don’t evolve but over time species evolve becoming better adapted to their habitats and occasionally producing new species.
