1.

Scientists studied the evolution of ancient organisms known as trilobites. An image of a trilobite is shown, and some of its body structures are labeled.

Scientists collected fossils of one species of trilobite that determined to have lived during a 2 million year span. The scientists observed that, over time, the number of rings in the trilobites' tails have changed. The graph shows the results of this investigation.

Which labeled section of the graph represents a time when the environment where trilobites lived was changing rapidly?

The bar graph shows the average break depth (distance from the top of the beak to the bottom) of a population of finches. The data were collected in 1976 and 1978, after a drought occurred in 1977 in the area.

Which factor BEST describes the change in this population of finches?

4.

A population of finches (G. fortis) on a remote island is observed over many generations. Scientists note a significant increase in the average beak size over 50 years, corresponding with a change in the available food source from small, soft seeds to larger, harder nuts.

Which of the following questions would be MOST important for scientists to answer to determine if natural selection caused the increase in average beak size?

Most animals avoid eating monarch butterflies due to their bad taste. Viceroy butterflies look very similar to monarchs.

Which of the following observations provides the most definitive evidence that Monarch and Viceroy butterflies are two distinct biological species?
