The model below allows scientists to compare<br />

DNA sequences from two species to estimate<br />

how long it has been since they diverged from<br />

a common ancestor. What is the name of this<br />

model<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

A molecular clock<br />

B cladogram<br />

C pedigree<br />

D family tree<br />

<br />

<br />

bk<br />

Members of which kingdom secrete enzymes<br />

into their food and then absorb the digested<br />

matter directly into their cells<br />

A Protista<br />

B Fungi<br />

C Plantae<br />

D Animalia<br />

bl<br />

As scientists began to learn more about<br />

geologic time, they incorporated their findings<br />

into systems of classification. What is the<br />

system that takes into account an organism’s<br />

evolutionary history<br />

A binomial nomenclature<br />

B phylogeny<br />

C taxonomy<br />

D historical classification<br />

bm<br />

What is the system by which each species is<br />

given a two-part scientific name<br />

A phylogenetics<br />

B cladistics<br />

C taxonomy<br />

D binomial nomenclature<br />

bn<br />

Which would be the least reliable evidence in<br />

determining whether or not two animals share<br />

a taxonomic relationship<br />

A physical structures and appearance<br />

B appearance of their chromosomes<br />

C diet and nutrition<br />

D DNA sequences<br />

bo<br />

Which is a cluster of organisms distinct from<br />

other clusters that shows evidence of a pattern<br />

of ancestry and descent<br />

A kingdom<br />

B division<br />

C phylum<br />

D species<br />

bp<br />

What statement describes the thinking of<br />

scientists before Darwin presented his theory<br />

of evolution<br />

A All species that ever lived were still alive.<br />

B All species were separate and unchanging.<br />

C Species could be distinguished by their DNA.<br />

D Species could be distinguished by their color<br />

patterns.<br />
