1 Exam Name MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s). Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct. Scientists suspected that local human activities such as the destruction of wetlands, regional pollution, and deforestation were the main reasons for these losses. However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. 1) Some biologists urge the collection of the few remaining individuals of some of the most threatened amphibian species, to preserve them if they become extinct in the wild. If such captive breeding programs could produce thousands of individuals from just a few of the remaining survivors, the species will still be threatened because of. A) natural selection B) a bottleneck effect C) the founder effect D) artificial selection E) mutations 1) 2) Examine the two animals in the photographs in the following figure. Use all of the clues in this figure. These two organisms belong to. 2) A) the same genus B) the same species C) different families D) different orders E) different phyla 1
2 Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s). In some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called ligers. Male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. In the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. Furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. 3) The natural differences in the ranges of wild tigers and lions is an example of. A) the bottleneck effect B) a post-zygotic barrier C) a pre-zygotic barrier D) sympatric speciation E) the impact of mutations 3) Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s). Birds are a widespread group of animals, with approximately 10,000 different species found throughout the world today. Because they are relatively easy to find and so visually appealing, they have been studied more thoroughly than many other groups of animals. They are also valuable biological indicators, because many species live in different habitats during different times of the year and cover long migration routes. According to the World Conservation Union, extinction threatens over 1,200 bird species today and at least 179 are critically endangered. Some of the most endangered species include the Tahiti monarch, with only 10 pairs remaining, and the Bali starling, with only 12 wild individuals left. In Hawaii, the last captive po ouli died in 2005 and the last two known to be alive in the wild have not been seen in many months. Common birds are also disappearing. In North America, red-winged blackbird populations declined by at least 1 percent each year between 1980 and These examples can serve as a warning. Habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation is the most serious problem and affects 86% of threatened birds. Unsustainable forestry and intensifying agriculture exacerbate this problem of habitat loss. All of this shows that conservation of habitats is critical if many of the world s bird species are going to be saved from extinction in the near future. 4) What is a feature of birds that makes them valuable as biological indicators? A) Birdwatching is a popular hobby. B) Many migrate long distances. C) Many are brightly colored. D) Many sing beautiful songs. E) There are over 10,000 different species of birds. 4) 5) Natural selection can be defined as. A) the production of more offspring than can survive in a given environment B) the accumulation of random mutations C) the relationships among all organisms D) a process in which organisms with certain inherited traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than other individuals E) changes in gene frequencies attributable to chance 5) 6) Natural selection. A) prepares organisms for future changes in the environment B) does not affect allelic frequencies C) is the result of sampling error D) is a very rare phenomenon E) results in evolutionary adaptation 6) 2

12 Read the following scenario to answer the following question(s). In some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called ligers.

Over the past 60 years, many amphibian species have experienced significant population declines and some species have become extinct.

However, research over the past 20 years reveals significant amphibian population declines in protected areas of the world, such as nature preserves and parks. These global declines suggest widespread problems including increased ultraviolet radiation, acid rain, and disease. In Switzerland, for example, 14 of the 20 native amphibian species are threatened with extinction. 44) When most populations of a wide-ranging amphibian species are lost and the few remaining populations are widely separated, we expect to see that.
