Biology 1 Ch. 8

natural selection

Darwin's finches and the various collections of the peppered moths in England demonstrate

inheritance of acquired characteristics

If a child were born with natural musical ability because the mother had taken piano lessons, this would illustrate the theory of

carbon-14 remains trapped in organisms longer than carbon-12

Which is not true of the carbon-14 cycle? (carbon-14 is formed by cosmic radiation's bombarding nitrogen in the upper atmosphere, carbon-14 enters living organisms, carbon-14 remains trapped in organisms longer than carbon-12, carbon-14 combines with accent to form carbon dioxide

use and disuse

Which of the following concepts is not a part of Darwin's theory of evolution? (descent with modification, use and disuse, natural selection, pangenes)

it rained forty days and forty nights

Which of the following is not a reason to believe in the universality of the Genesis Flood? (the covenant God made with Noah [that such a flood would never happen again] would have been broken every time there was a local flood, it rained forty days and forty nights, there are New Testament references to a worldwide flood, the purpose of the Flood was to destroy all creatures from the face of the earth)

they have never yielded an accurate date

Which of the following is not a reason to claim that dating methods using radioactive elements are unreliable? (they assume that the rate of decay of the radioactive element must have always been constant; they assume knowledge of how much of a radioactive element was present when the substance was formed; they assume that none of the end products, subproducts, or radioactive elements escaped from the substance being dated; they have never yielded an accurate date)

science is a means to determine all truth

Which of the following would a Creationist not agree with? (Genesis gives a literal description of Creation, the Bible is the inspired Word of God, science is a means to determine all truth, the Fall is the cause of all of mankind's problems)

Lamarck

Who hypothesized that an organ that was not used would disappear from the species?

human artifact

a manmade object

theistic evolution

a mixture of evolution and the Biblical account of Creation

Piltdown man

a practical joke

phylogenetic tree

an evolutionary line-up of living things

progressive creationism

an old universe combined with God-directed creative acts

intermediate forms that must have existed if evolutionary theory is truth

T

T/F- Darwin visited the Galápagos Islands while serving as a ship's naturalist and later used what he observed there to support his theory of natural selection.

T

T/F- Human artifacts found in coal and other rock layers give support to the theory that man was alive before the fossils were formed.

T

T/F- James Ussher used Bible genealogies to arrive at the date 4004 BC as the date of Creation.

T

T/F- Scientism claims that science is the only way to determine what is true.

T

T/F- The uranium-lead method and the carbon-14 method are two topographic methods of dating various objects.

T

T/F- Theistic evolution is a blending of science and Scripture which Bible-believing Christians cannot accept.

preserved hard parts of animals and plants

The most common type of identifiable fossils is

Nebraska man

conjectured from a pig's tooth

Java man

constructed from a bone, skull fragments, and a few teeth scattered over a river

punctuated equilibrium

evolution occurring in spurts followed by nonevolutionary periods

Zinjanthropus

just like an ape

Neandertal man

just like modern man

antediluvian

literally means "before the flood"

artificial breeding

man-controlled reproduction of animals

genetic load

number of mutations an organism

gap theory

proposes a first creation that existed before Adam and Eve

literal creation

six consecutive twenty-four hour days

Toumai man

speculated by many anthropologists to be man's oldest evolutionary relative

day age theory

the days described during Creation are actually long periods of time

anthropology

the study of the origin of and the physical, social, and cultural history of man

topography

the surface features of the earth

polystrate

A fossil that goes through several layers of rock is called

all of the above

According to many current Flood models, the possible source(s) of the water include (superheated steam from volcanoes, a canopy of water surrounding the earth, an outpouring of water from beneath the earth's surface, all the above, A and C only)

creation with apparent age

That Adam was able to take care of himself and eat fruit from trees when he was created supports a belief in

6000 and 7000 years

The age of the earth is probably between

deVries

The fact that many organisms produce more offspring than can actually survive is an important part of the theory developed by
