life

Question 2

According to the diagram, Biology has changed through the process of (b). What is the correct term for (b)?

Accepted Answer

evolution

Question 3

The mechanism that accounts for evolution, labeled as (c) in the diagram, is best described as:

Accepted Answer

natural selection

Question 4

DNA (genetic code) is evidence of (d) in the diagram. What does (d) represent?

Accepted Answer

common ancestry

Question 5

Which of the following best describes the relationship between DNA and the diversity of life as shown in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

DNA codes for proteins, which leads to variations among organisms.

Question 6

The diagram shows that diversity of life is seen in variations in (e). What is (e)?

Accepted Answer

cells as basic units of life

Question 7

Which process is described as the mechanism that leads to adaptation and diversity in populations, as shown in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

natural selection

Question 8

According to the diagram, what is the evidence for the common properties of living organisms?

Accepted Answer

DNA (genetic code)

Question 9

Which of the following best explains why all living organisms share common properties, as indicated in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

They all share a common genetic code.

Question 10

If a scientist discovers a new organism, which property would best indicate it is alive according to the diagram?

Accepted Answer

It contains DNA as its genetic code.

Question 11

Which of the following equations best represents the relationship between genetic variation and evolution as implied by the diagram?

Accepted Answer

$$	ext{Evolution} = 	ext{Genetic Variation} + 	ext{Natural Selection}$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes why cells are considered the basic units of life, as shown in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

All living organisms are composed of cells, which carry out essential life functions.

Question 13

A population of bacteria is exposed to an antibiotic. Over time, some bacteria survive and reproduce. Which concept from the diagram does this scenario best illustrate?

Accepted Answer

Natural selection leading to evolution

Question 14

Which of the following is NOT a common property of living organisms as indicated in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

Ability to photosynthesize

Question 15

Which of the following best explains how DNA leads to the diversity of life, as shown in the diagram?

Accepted Answer

DNA mutations and recombination create genetic variation, which is acted upon by natural selection.
