Part 1: Marine Evolution
1.
Who were the 1st organisms in the ocean?
2. When do scientists predict the 1" organism appeared in the ocean?
3.
What is the process where organisms with variations best suited to their environment survive?,
4. What is the process where organisms change over long periods of time?.
5. What are the 3 conditions required for natural selection to occur? 1).
2)
6. What occurs when there are more individuals in a population than resources?
7.
What occurs when similar organisms show differences in heritable traits?.
8. What is an organism's heritable trait that increases its ability to survive and reproduce?
9. What is an organism's ability to reproduce and survive?
10. A group of hippo tangs live together on a coral reef, and one is particularly large because he eats the most algae. Is he the
fittest individual on the reef at night? Why/Why not?.
11. What is the creation of a new species from environmental factors and/or 2 pre-existing species?.

13. What is the most likely cause of the speciation of so many different types of jellyfish?,
14. During what type of evolution, different species that have a common ancestor become less and less alike over time?
15. During what type of evolution, different species that do not have a common ancestor evolved separately but look similar?
16. During what type of evolution, the shark, ichthyosaur, and dolphin all have similar body shapes?
17. During what type of evolution cats, humans, and whales use front limbs for movement?
18. During convergent evolution, species have what type of traits, which look different, but serve the same purpose?
19. During divergent evolution, species have what type of traits, which look similar but have different purposes?
20. Limbs used for walking, swimming, & flying are what type of traits?
21. Fins, flippers, and wings used to swim are what type of traits?
