    Summative TEst

    Uploaded by

    xoxkakidoxox
    This document contains a 10 question summative test on topics related to evolution, fossils, natural selection, and biological classification. The test questions assess understanding of where fossils are typically found, statements that do not describe evolution, examples of homologous structures in different animals, the earliest fossils found, explanations of natural selection, characteristics that show relatedness between organisms, Lamarck's theory of use and disuse, examples of adaptation, why biochemically similar organisms show stronger evolutionary relationships, and statements that support extinction is necessary. It also contains questions to identify examples of convergent and divergent evolution, and asks to draw graphical representations of scenarios involving changes in species and traits over generations.

    neck. Shortage of food and
