Multiple Choice skip

1. What did James Hutton discover?
   1. looking at different layers of rock and comparing them.
   2. evidence of Gods beneficience
   3. 1. individual variation (w/in a species). 2. some of that ind. variation is heritable (can be passed to offspring). 3. only some individuals survive to have offspring. 4. survival is dependent on characteristics (color etc.).
   4. change to a new species
   5. Geology- deposition cycles (layers come from deposition cycles- erosion, flood, etc.)
2. Examples of natural theology
   1. incoporation of Plato's ideal forms, literal interpretation of the bible, special creation, all God creates is perfect, no extinctions
   2. looking at different layers of rock and comparing them.
   3. evidence of Gods beneficience
   4. structures that prove they have common ancestry. (salamander- whale- boa constrictor. shows they have back limbs)
   5. 1. individual variation (w/in a species). 2. some of that ind. variation is heritable (can be passed to offspring). 3. only some individuals survive to have offspring. 4. survival is dependent on characteristics (color etc.).
3. convergence-
   1. homologous show common ancestry ex. legs. 2. analogous show different ancestry. ex. wings.
   2. change to a new species
   3. 1. every species has a tendency to over populate beyond its resources. 2. nothing limits growth population except overcrowding and interfering with each others means of substinence
   4. animals may look the same but only because they live in the same environment (ex. dolphins are closer to humans than they are to sharks).
   5. what people believed about evolution in early times
4. Fossils are discovered through...
   1. looking at different layers of rock and comparing them.
   2. Scientific classification (classifying living organisms), binomial nomenclature (named and related things)
   3. appreciation of creation- science was appreciating God
   4. geological field work
   5. evidence of Gods beneficience
5. What is Darwin's theory?
   1. the theory of evolution. simple => complex. stating that species change overtime and the environment has a role in that.
   2. appreciation of creation- science was appreciating God
   3. Origins of species- 1. all organisms descended, with modification, from a common ancestor. 2. descent with modification= natural selection
   4. it proved his theory that the world has existed a lot longer than percieved
   5. animals may look the same but only because they live in the same environment (ex. dolphins are closer to humans than they are to sharks).

   True   False

2. what did Georges Cuvier propose?
   1. individual variation (w/in a species). 2. some of that ind. variation is heritable (can be passed to offspring). 3. only some individuals survive to have offspring. 4. survival is dependent on characteristics (color etc.).

   True   False

3. What is natural theology?
   Scientific classification (classifying living organisms), binomial nomenclature (named and related things)

   True   False

4. homologous structures vs. analogous structures
   homologous show common ancestry ex. legs. 2. analogous show different ancestry. ex. wings.

   True   False
