treat more specific observations.

specific issues.

3) Algae in the genus Caulerpa typically grow to a length of over half a meter and have

B) Caulerpa violate the process component of the cell theory—that all cells come from
preexisting cells.
C) Caulerpa violate both the pattern and process components of the cell theory.
D) The existence of Caulerpa is consistent with the cell theory.
Answer: D
Reference: Section 1.1
Bloom's Level: Comprehension
LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.
4) Which statement about spontaneous generation is FALSE?

B) It apparently occurred at least once–when life on Earth began.
C) It occurs every time a new species evolves from a preexisting species.
D) It addresses the formation of living cells from previously nonliving material.

5) Recall Pasteur's experiment on spontaneous generation. Originally, he used sealed and
unsealed flasks instead of swan-necked and unsealed flasks. Critics claimed that the experiment
was inconclusive. Which of the following criticisms would be addressed by using a swan-necked
flask instead of the sealed flask?
A) The broth was heated too intensively.
B) There had not been enough time for spontaneous generation to occur.
C) Fresh air is required for spontaneous generation.
D) The broth was not nutritious
enough. Answer: C
Reference: Section 1.1
Bloom's Level: Comprehension/Applying
LOs: Chp1-2. Describe the two components of the cell theory.
6) Which of the following is the best example of a heritable variation?
A) skin cancer
B) amputation
C) red hair
D) love for music
Answer: C
Reference: Section 1.2
Bloom's Level: Comprehension
LOs: Chp1-1. Name five fundamental characteristics shared by all living organisms.
7) How does artificial selection differ from natural selection?
A) Artificial selection occurs only in computer simulations, not with actual organisms.
B) Artificial selection is based on conscious choices by humans.
C) Artificial selection occurs only with plants.
D) Artificial selection is not based on heritable variation, but on new
mutations. Answer: B
Reference: Section 1.2
Bloom's Level: Comprehension
LOs: Chp1-3. Briefly explain the theory of natural selection, and clarify the two conditions that
are necessary and sufficient for natural selection to bring about evolutionary change in a
population.

8) Over the past several decades, natural selection has caused populations of Staphylococcus
aureus (an infectious wound bacterium) to evolve resistance to most antibiotics. If antibiotic
use were stopped, what would you predict would happen to these S. aureus populations?
A) They will go extinct without the antibiotic.
B) The populations will begin colonizing new environments.
C) The frequency of nonresistant forms will increase in these populations.
D) The frequency of resistant forms will definitely increase in these populations.
Answer: C
Reference: Section 1.2
Bloom's Level: Applying
LOs: Chp1-3. Briefly explain the theory of natural selection, and clarify the two conditions that
are necessary and sufficient for natural selection to bring about evolutionary change in a
population.
9) Environments all over the world are changing as a result of global warming. Could this
influence natural selection?
A) No. The environment is always changing. Global warming is nothing new.
B) Yes. Traits that help individuals produce more offspring in warmer environments will
increase in frequency.
C) No. The only change will be that species from hot environments will expand their ranges.
D) Yes. Mutations occur more frequently in hot environments.
Answer: B
Reference: Section 1.2
Bloom's Level: Applying
LOs: Chp1-3. Briefly explain the theory of natural selection, and clarify the two conditions that
are necessary and sufficient for natural selection to bring about evolutionary change in a
population.
10) The "heat" in chili peppers is due to a molecule called capsaicin. Suppose you breed chili
peppers that have low amounts of capsaicin over many generations in order to make them
milder (have less capsaicin). What process is occurring?
A) heritable variation
B) environmental change
C) natural selection
D) artificial selection
Answer: D
Reference: Section 1.2
