30sS10LT-IIIg-40 - Q4
Which aspect of Lamarck’s theory is incorrect?
Evolution works at the population level.
DNA is the mechanism for inheritance.
New species evolved from previous species.
Acquired traits are inherited.
30sS10LT-IIIg-40 - 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 cut the tail of mice to demonstrate acquired characteristics.
He bred giraffes to have long necks.
He considered DNA as the mechanism of inheritance.
30sS10LT-IIIg-40 - Q6
Which statement BEST explains the Theory of Natural Selection?
Organisms develop desirable structures to survive in a given environment.
Acquired characteristics of parents can be passed onto offspring.
Organs that are not used may disappear, while organs that are constantly used may develop.
In nature, the organism with desirable characteristics may survive, while those with weaker traits may not.

During his voyage on HMS Beagle especially after he reached the Galapagos Island.
When he was a student at Cambridge University.
30sS10LT-IIIg-40 - Q8
What will happen to a population of species if they cannot adapt to the environmental changes?
Becomes stronger
Changes into another species
Becomes extinct
Changes their structure to survive

Which statement is NOT TRUE about Darwin?
Darwin observed variations within the organisms in the Galapagos Islands.
Darwin used DNA evidence to support the process of Natural Selection.
Darwin proposed Natural Selection as the mechanism for species change over time.
Darwin wrote the book Origin of Species by Natural Selection
