Multiple Choice skip

1. What did Jean-Baptiste de Lamarck discover?
   1. structures that prove they have common ancestry. (salamander- whale- boa constrictor. shows they have back limbs)
   2. Scientific classification (classifying living organisms), binomial nomenclature (named and related things)
   3. that the Earth is old (maybe everything isn't in the bible), and modification of species
   4. the theory of evolution. simple => complex. stating that species change overtime and the environment has a role in that.
   5. it proved his theory that the world has existed a lot longer than percieved
2. What two mechanisms did Jean Lamarck wrongly propose?
   1. evidence of Gods beneficience
   2. it proved his theory that the world has existed a lot longer than percieved
   3. catastophism -extinction is caused by a series of catastrophes
   4. that the Earth is old (maybe everything isn't in the bible), and modification of species
   5. 1. acquired characteristics can be inherited (giraffe). 2. spontaneous generation (how species originate. maggots ex.)
3. homologous structures vs. analogous structures
   1. the idea that geological processes of the past are still occuring
   2. catastophism -extinction is caused by a series of catastrophes
   3. looking at different layers of rock and comparing them.
   4. homologous show common ancestry ex. legs. 2. analogous show different ancestry. ex. wings.
4. What did Copernicus discover?
   1. structures that prove they have common ancestry. (salamander- whale- boa constrictor. shows they have back limbs)
   2. change to a new species
   3. Mechanical law
   4. biological growth, reproduction, inheritance, variation (ind. variation w/in species), population pressure, and struggle for existance
   5. heliocentric world view (we revolve around the sun)
5. What is stratigraphy?
   1. 1. every species has a tendency to over populate beyond its resources. 2. nothing limits growth population except overcrowding and interfering with each others means of substinence
   2. looking at different layers of rock and comparing them.
   3. animals may look the same but only because they live in the same environment (ex. dolphins are closer to humans than they are to sharks).
   4. he came up with the idea of natural selection at the same time as Darwin. He also writes on the idea that different varieties can become new species.
   5. the theory of evolution. simple => complex. stating that species change overtime and the environment has a role in that.
