A) / Brown and Golden.
B) / Golden and Brook.
C) / Brown and Rainbow.
D) / Rainbow and Golden.

8) Green and brown algae share many common features. Both have pigments for trapping sunlight and use photosynthesis for energy. Both store their food as sugars. Both have cell walls and plant-like bodies. However, their DNA suggests that they are not even remotely related to one another. Green algae and brown algae show ______evolution, since they look similar, but are not close relatives.

A) / convergent
B) / divergent
C) / homologous
D) / vestigial

9) The lion's scientific name is Panthera leo. The leopard's scientific name is Panthera pardus . The tiger's is Panthera tigris. Which statement is true?

A) / All 3 animals share a genus.
B) / All 3 animals share a species.
C) / The 3 animals are genetically identical.

A) / cellulose.
B) / lysosomes.
C) / nuclei.
D) / vacuoles.

A) / RNA pattern
B) / DNA fingerprint
C) / human replicant
D) / allele impression

Taxonomic Chart

Taxonomic Rank / Human / Tiger
Kingdom / Animalia / Animalia
Phylum / Chordata / Chordata
Class / Mammalia / Mammalia
Order / Primates / Carnivora
Family / Homindae / Felidae
Genus / Homo / Panthera
Species / Sapiens / Tigris


What is the MOST specific classification that humans and tigers have in common?

A) / Class
B) / Kingdom
C) / Order
D) / Phylum

13)


The bones in the front limbs of many mammals are similar in their structure and arrangement. What term is used to describe physical similarities between related species that indicates a common ancestry?

A) / vestigial organs
B) / convergent anatomy
C) / embryonic parallels
D) / homologous structures

14)


Cold case files recently began re-investigating an old murder case. The murder took place in the park; a young man, James, was hit over the head with a brick and killed. Police suspected the jealous former boyfriend of James' wife, Karen. Whoever killed James may have washed their hands in a near-by bird bath as detectives found blood in the bird bath. Since the murder took place before DNA fingerprinting was available, the suspected killer, Ronnie, went free. Detectives are now reviewing the blood evidence using DNA fingerprinting.
Based on the DNA fingerprints of all possible suspects, who is James' killer?

A) / Aubrey
B) / Babs
C) / Karen
D) / Ronnie

15)

The phylogenetic tree illustrates the relationship between humans and our closest living relatives. The tree was based on biochemical comparisons, including DNA and amino acid sequences.

According to the biomolecular data, we COULD infer that

A) / the four organisms do not have a common ancestor.
B) / humans are more closely related to chimps than any other apes.
C) / chimps are more closely related to gorillas than they are to humans.
D) / there is no evidence if any relationship between the four branches on the tree.

16) Which kingdom contains only producers?

A) / Animalia
B) / Fungi
C) / Insecta
D) / Plantae
