, d) structures that evolved by random chance.
e) structures only found in fossils.
5. Convergent evolution produces:
a) homologous traits due to common ancestry.
b) analogous traits in unrelated lineages because they face similar selection pressures. c)
increased hybrid fertility.
d) a decrease in mutation rate.
e) direct evidence of common ancestor for convergent species.
6. Which taxonomic rank is broader (contains more species) than genus? a) species
b) family
c) subspecies
d) cultivar
e) variety
7. The three-domain system classifies life into:
a) Bacteria, Fungi, Plants
b) Bacteria, Archaea, Eukarya
c) Archaea, Protists, Animals
d) Prokarya, Eukarya, Metazoa

8. Which process can cause allele frequencies to change by chance, especially in small
populations?
a) gene flow
b) natural selection
c) genetic drift
d) mutation repair
e) stabilizing selection
9. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium requires all the following EXCEPT:
a) no natural selection
