A star appears to be red in the night sky. Is the star traveling toward the earth or away from the earth? How do we know this? (

Hint: Think about the Doppler effect)

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The star is travelling away from the earth.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>A star’s temperature largely determines its color. </em>Stars with higher temperature have a bluish color and stars with low temperature appear red in color.  But the color of star that we observe from the earth is different from its actual color.

<em>This variation in color is due to Doppler effect. </em>When the movement of  a star is towards the earth the frequency shifts to the higher frequency region and when the movement is away from the earth the frequency of the light emitted will shift to the lower frequency region. <em>Color of light depends on the frequency. </em>

The color corresponding to the <em>lower frequency region</em> is red and color corresponding to <em>high frequency region</em> is blue. <em>So when the star moves away from the earth it appears red in color.</em>

Answer:

scientist is attempting to build a cladogram that shows the evolutionary closeness of three organisms in relation to humans. After doing DNA analysis, they determine that the organisms share the following percentages of DNA:

Organism A and humans share 85% of their DNA.

Organism B and humans share 80% of their DNA.

Organism C and humans share 90% of their DNA.

Based on this information, which order should they go on the cladogram (from least related to most related)?

(1 point)

A, B, C, humans

C, B, A, humans

C, A, B, humans

B, A, C, humans

2.A cladogram shows the evolutionary relationship between humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas. The cladogram currently shows humans and chimpanzees with a more recent common ancestor compared to gorillas. Which piece of evidence, if true, would most likely weaken this hypothesis?(1 point)

Fossils of humans appear in deeper sedimentary rock layers compared to fossils of chimpanzees.

Amino acid analysis of the cytochrome c protein shows significant differences in the sequence of amino acids between humans and gorillas.

DNA sequence analysis of the hemoglobin alpha gene shows that humans and chimpanzees have a more similar sequence to each other than they do to the gorilla’s DNA sequence.

The cells of the eye in embryos of gorillas and humans follow a similar pattern of development while chimpanzee embryos are different.

3.The forelimbs of bats and humans have a very similar bone structure even though they appear very different on the outside. These structures are known as __________ because they result from species evolving __________.

Which of the following answer choices correctly completes the above statement?

(1 point)

homologies; similar adaptations in similar environments

analogies; from the same common ancestor

analogies; similar adaptations in similar environments

homologies; from the same common ancestor

4.All vertebrate embryos have a tail and gill slits at some point during embryonic development. What does this suggest about vertebrates?(1 point)

The embryos of these species require these structures to survive.

These species evolved in similar environments.

These species have the exact same DNA sequence.

These species share a common ancestor.

5.Fossil A is found closer to the surface compared to Fossil B. Which of the following conclusions can be made based on this statement?(1 point)

Fossil A is from an older species than Fossil B.

The species of Fossil A existed at the same time as the species of Fossil B.

The species of Fossil A evolved from the species of Fossil B.

Fossil B is most likely older than Fossil A.

6.Vertebrate embryos all follow a very similar developmental process. Which statement could explain this similarity?(1 point)

All vertebrates require the same nutrients during embryological development.

All vertebrates develop a backbone that protects the spinal cord.

All vertebrates inherit the same sequence of DNA from their parents.

All vertebrates live in similar environments which require the same adaptations.

7.Some mutations, or changes in the sequence of DNA, do not have any effect on the characteristics of the organism. Why is this?(1 point)

The immune system repairs the mutated sequence during development.

The protein built from this mutated sequence is deactivated by the cell.

The mutated sequence still codes for the same amino acid.

The cell recognizes mutations and ignores them when expressing the gene.

8.What is typically studied when analyzing not-yet-born (or unhatched) animals?(1 point)

embryological development

evolutionary theory

causal records

DNA sequencing

9.What can scientists analyze to get a better understanding of how plants and animals evolved from a common ancestor?(1 point)

petrified bones and imprints of plants

DNA molecules

vertebrate embryos

life cycles and behaviors

10.How can embryos help scientists understand evolution?(1 point)

Embryos contain the code for all life on Earth.

Embryos go through various stages that suggest the animal’s evolutionary process.

Embryos provide evidence for which life forms existed at the same time.

Embryos are frequently fossilized and illustrate change over time.

11.Astronomers have made great strides in sending probes out to other planets and moons in our solar system. If they were to find a living creature some place other than Earth, how could DNA analysis help them better understand the organism? Explain in 1–2 sentences.(2 points)

12.In 1973, biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote an essay titled “Nothing in Biology Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution.” Why is evolution so important for understanding biology? Explain your answer in 1–2 sentences.(2 points)

13.You are a scientist tasked with writing a journal article on the evolution of alligators. In 3–5 sentences, describe the different forms of evidence you might use to analyze the evolution of alligators.(4 points
