Which of the following is NOT consistent with Darwin's law of natural selection?
Natural selection can lead to the appearance of a new species and/or emergent property.
Individual organisms experience genetic change during their life spans to better fit their environment.
Individuals in a population exhibit variants, some of which are passed from parents to offspring.
Factors in the environment result in some organisms having better reproductive success than others.
An antibiotic kills 99.9% of a bacterial population. You would expect the next generation of bacteria.....
to be just as susceptible to that antibiotic as was the previous generation.
to die out due to the drastic antibiotic than the previous generation
to be more resistant to that antibiotic than the previous generation
to be more contagious than the prior generation
Which of the following statements about the properties of life is FALSE?
Organisms are unchanging, no matter the environmental stimuli
Organisms have the ability to process food in order to provide energy for required functions
Organisms have the ability to reproduce fertile offspring
Organisms are orderly as their structure determine their functions
What is the main difference between a tissue and an organ system?
An organ system includes tissues that build to form associated organs with similar functions.
A tissue cannot exist unless it is a component of an organ system, whereas an organ system exists independently of tissues
The tissue level of organization is more inclusive than the organ system level.
Tissues are not composed of cells; organ systems are composed of cells
Artificial selection is practiced in which of the following ways?
Humans determine which organisms reproduce in order to accumulate ideal characteristics in offspring.
Humans modify the genetic information of organisms in order to accumulate ideal character in offspring
Nature determines which organisms reproduce in order to accumulate fit characteristics in offspring
Nature eliminates unfit organisms in order for the accumulation of fit characteristics in offspring that reproduce.
