Question 1

Plato

Answer 1

All objects on earth imperfect version of ideal object

Question 2

Smith

Answer 2

Certain fossils always in same layer rock, diff organisms lived in diff parts of time

Question 3

Lamarck

Answer 3

Simple forme changed to more complex

Question 4

Aristotle

Answer 4

Great chain of being

Question 5

Cuvier

Answer 5

Abrupt change in fossils record means catastrophism

Question 6

Lyell

Answer 6

Theory of uniformity, confirmed Darwin’s theory

Question 7

Darwin

Answer 7

Theory of evolution by natural selection

Question 8

Malthus

Answer 8

Wrote essay that started Darwin’s natural selection theory

Question 9

Buffon

Answer 9

Species originated in more than one place and modified over time

Question 10

Wallace

Answer 10

arrived at natural selection theory by himself

Question 11

Unaltered remains

Answer 11

Encrustation, amber entombment, refrigeration

Question 12

Encrustation

Answer 12

Dissolved minerals form thin crust over (after dissolve we get orignal material)

Question 13

Amber entombment

Answer 13

Insect trapped in pine resin harden into amber (we get dna sample)

Question 14

Refrigeration

Answer 14

During ice age, animals trapped in ice (lots of cellular material)

Question 15

Altered remains

Answer 15

Permineralization; replacement, recrystallization, carbonization

Question 16

Permineralization

Answer 16

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

Question 16

Permineralization

Answer 16

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

Question 16

Permineralization

Answer 16

Pores in bones, shells become filled with mineral deposits (general structure, good detail)

Question 17

Recrystalization

Answer 17

Original composition change to crystal (great detail)

Question 18

Carbonization

Answer 18

Under pressure liquid/gas is forced out leaving film of carbon (only outside surface detail)

Question 19

Trace fossils

Answer 19

Animal tracks, gastroliths, coprolites

Question 20

Animal tracks

Answer 20

Footprints (calculate stride/how anima moves)

Question 21

Gastroliths

Answer 21

Herbivores matter in stomach, snooty polished stone (what they ate)

Question 22

Coprolites

Answer 22

Fossil poops (bones of prey, seeds, plants)

Question 23

Evidence for evolution

Answer 23

Fossils Homologus structures Analogous structures Vestigial structures Comparative-embryology Comparative-biochemistry genetic-evidence Artificial selection Industrial melanism Transitional fossils Radiometric dating

Question 24

Homologus structures

Answer 24

Same bone, dif structure

Question 25

Analogous structure

Answer 25

Same function, dif bone

Question 26

Vestigial structures

Answer 26

Non function structure

Question 27

Competitive embryology

Answer 27

Early embryo look the same

Question 28

Comparative biochemistry genetic evidence

Answer 28

Human dna similar to monkey dna

Question 29

Artificial selection

Answer 29

Choosing traits so why can’t this happen naturally

Question 30

Industrial melanism

Answer 30

Moths colour change bc of factories

Question 31

Transitional fossils

Answer 31

From one animal to another

Question 32

Agassiz

Answer 32

New creation after each catastrophe
