1)When assessing evolutionary relationships, one approach is to interpret patterns of ancestral (primitive) and derived (modified) characteristics. This approach is

called:

2. Endogamy refers to:
3. Structural similarities between species that are based on common function and

not on common evolutionary descent are called:

4. The diversification of reptiles facilitated by the evolution of the reptilian egg is a

good example of:

5. What do humans have in common with dinosaurs, mosquitoes, and

mushrooms?

6. A hypothesis regarding ancestor-descendant relationships that includes a time-

scale is called a:

7. Structural similarities shared by a wide array of distantly related species that are inherited from a common ancestor, such as the number of bones in the forelimb,

are termed:

8. The evolutionary process that produced analogous structures in New and Old

World monkeys is called:

9. Vertebrates first appear around 1 million years ago.
10. The human genome is essentially an amphioxus genome that has been

quadrupled.

11. The same genes in humans and snakes determine how many vertebrae both animals have; the basic difference is when and where the genes are expressed.
12. Several species of very early hominins evolved over four million years, this is a

clear example of:

13. Which of the following is NOT an epoch of the Cenozoic?
14. The environmental setting to which a species is adapted is its:

 

15. Structural similarities shared by a wide array of distantly related species that are inherited from a common ancestor, such as the number of bones in the forelimb,

are termed:

16. Structural similarities shared by species that are acquired by descent from a

common ancestor are:

17. One possible test for classifying contemporary animals into genera is to check

for results of hybridization between:

18. The human genome is essentially an amphioxus genome that has been
