120s - Q4
Which aspect of Lamarck’s theory is incorrect?

Acquired traits are inherited.
Evolution works at the population level.
DNA is the mechanism for inheritance.
120s - Q5
Why is Lamarck considered an influential person in the field of evolution?
He was the first to try to explain how new species evolve.
He bred giraffes to have long necks.
He considered DNA as the mechanism of inheritance.
He cut the tail of mice to demonstrate acquired characteristics.
120s - Q6
Which statement BEST explains the Theory of Natural Selection?
In nature, the organism with desirable characteristics may survive, while those with weaker traits may not.
Organisms develop desirable structures to survive in a given environment.
Acquired characteristics of parents can be passed onto offspring.

changes into another species
becomes extinct
changes their structure to survive
becomes stronger
120s - Q9
Which statement is NOT TRUE about Darwin?
Darwin wrote the book Origin of Species by Natural Selection
Darwin proposed Natural Selection as the mechanism for species change over time.
Darwin used DNA evidence to support the process of Natural Selection.
Darwin observed variations within the organisms in the Galapagos Islands.
120s - Q10
Which is the major concept included in Lamarck’s theory of evolution?
