Key Point 1 - -Even the most desperate organisms share some features,
suggesting that the single, nine random process generated diversity.
-True or False #1: biodiversity on earth will likely decrease in the near
future. - -True! Fingerprints of human activity, spread of an invasive species,
Rapid change and global climate, habitat destruction, Deforestation
-What are the Three World Views? - -1. Natural Evolution - Evolution by
natural process2. Theistic Evolution - Evolution guided by God3. Creation -
Species created by God
-True or False #3: Scientists believe in Evolution even though they currently
lack evidence for the theory. - -False! Based on know mechanisms: Natural
Selection, Mutation, and Genetic Drift
-Key Point 2 - -Biologists accept evolutionary theory because its predictions
match observations.
-True or False #4: Extreme temperatures of 2015 are sufficient evidence to
conclude that Earth is warming. - -False! Not enough data to show a trend
-Key Point 3 - -When something varies over space and time, one must
compare sufficient samples to quantify effects accurately.
-What does Replicating Observations do? - -Increases reliability of pattern.
-What does Controling Conditions do? - -Isolates effects of certain factors.
-What does randomizing subjects do? - -Decreases risk of bias from
uncontrolled factors.
-What is Creationism and Catastrophism? - -All species created in six days,
Earth is 6,000 years old, species fixed, extinctions from catastrophe. Leading

The offspring has to be similar to parents (heritable).
-What are the necessary conditions of Natural Selection? - -1. Heritable
Variation
2. Differences in Reproduction
-Key Point 5 - -Natural Selection occurs whenever heritable phenotypes
cause some individuals to reproduce more than others.
-True or False #8: Organisms evolve by natural selection. - -False! Not
organism but the population.
-True or False: Unlike Wallace, Darwin did not believe that natural selection
required variation among individuals. - -False
-True or False: Wallace used induction to develop a model of evolution by
natural selection. - -True
-True or False: Unlike Wallace, Darwin's conceived his theory of evolution
without observing species living on islands. - -False
-True or False: Both Darwin and Wallace must have assumed that
differences among individuals were passed onto their offspring. - -True
