Numbers 1, 2, and 3 represent regions of the nervous system. Three women were given three different
local anesthetics. One woman was given an anesthetic to block region 1, another woman was given an
anesthetic to block region 2, and a third woman was given an anesthetic to block region 3. A fourth
woman was given no anesthetic.

Two Theories of Evolution
If you had been a biologist in the 1800s, you would have had to decide between two main
theories about how evolution occurred. Consider the long neck of a giraffe. How did that evolve?
Read the two explanations below, and then answer the questions that follow.
Theory 1
The ancestors of giraffes had short necks, and there was great competition for the plant food near
the ground. Some of the giraffes kept trying to stretch their necks to reach leaves higher in the
trees. As they stretched and stretched, their necks became longer. As their necks became longer,
they were able to reach more food. Those ancestral giraffes survived to reproduce, while the
giraffes that had not stretched their necks died. The offspring of giraffes with stretched necks
inherited the longer necks. This process continued for generation after generation. In this way,
giraffes evolved with longer and longer necks.
Theory 2
The ancestors of giraffes had short necks, and there was great competition for the plant food near
the ground. Some of the ancestral giraffes naturally had slightly longer necks than others. The
individuals with longer necks could reach leaves higher up in trees, and therefore could eat more
food. Because those ancestral giraffes ate more food, they survived to produce offspring while
the individuals with shorter necks did not. The offspring of giraffes with longer necks inherited
the longer necks. This process continued for generation after generation. In this way, giraffes
evolved with longer and longer necks.
1. In Theory 1, what caused the giraffe neck to become longer?
2. In Theory 2, what caused the giraffe neck to become longer?
3. According to what scientists now know about genes, could the giraffes’ offspring have
inherited longer necks as described in Theory 1? Explain.
4. According to what scientists now know about genes, could the giraffes’ offspring
have inherited longer necks as described in Theory 2? Explain.
5. Which of the two theories matches Darwin’s theory of evolution? Explain.
6. Explain how and why are classification systems developed?
7. Names the levels of classification from least to most specific.
8. Hyla crucifer (the spring peeper) is written in what language?
9. Hyla is what level of classification?
