Chapters 1/2
These organisms are made of one cell
What is unicellular?
These are a group of cells working together to carry out specific tasks
What are tissues?
These are the observable traits in a living thing
What is phenotype?
This is a waxy, protective layer on leaves, stems, and flowers
What is the cuticle?
This is an animal without a backbone
What is an invertebrate?
These are the five basic rules for naming an organism
What is 1. genus name comes first, 2. first letter is capitalized, 3. species name comes second, 4. first letter is lowercase, 5. both names in italics?
This is the part of mitosis when the chromosomes go away from each other
What is anaphase?
Parent #1 = EE Parent #2 = ee The ratio of these parents producing an offspring with a recessive phenotype is...
What is 0:4?
These are the characteristics of vascular plants
What is they grow large, they have vascular tissue, over 90% of all plants are vascular?
These are the eight types of invertebrates
What are annelids, flatworms, sponges, cnidarians, roundworms, echinoderms, arthropods, mollusks?
This is the organization of a multicellular organism
What is cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs, organs make up an organ system?
These are the four reasons for cell division (mention which one is NOT for multicellular organisms)
What are Growth, Repair, Reproduction, and Replacement (reproduction is NOT for multicellular organisms)?
This is the explanation of Gregor Mendel's experiment from the chapter
What is 1. true breeding for white 2. true breeding for purple 3. take one purple and one white and cross them 4. 1st generation was all purple 5. take two from the first generation and cross them 6. 2nd generation had some purple AND some white 7. Mendel determined that one genetic factor was being BLOCKED by another genetic factor
These are four ways roots are beneficial
What is they anchor the plant, they store sugar, they help a plant stay upright, they absorb water and other substances from the soil?
These are the living things in an ecosystem
What is biotic factor?
This is a flexible covering that protects the inside of the cell from the environment outside the cell
What is the cell membrane?
This is a cell that has a pair of chromosomes
What is diploid?
This is when the last individual of a species dies
What is extinction?
This contains an embryo, its food supply, and a protective covering
What is a seed?
This is the order of a food chain that includes the following organisms: hawk, caterpillar, bluebird, grass
What is grass—> caterpillar—> bluebird—> hawk?
These are the three parts of the cell theory
What is 1. all living things are made of one or more cells, 2. the cell is the smallest unit of life, 3. and all new cells come from preexisting cells
These are the SIX types of asexual reproduction (do you have a mnemonic?)
What is Mitotic cell division, Budding, Cloning, Regeneration, Vegetative reproduction, Fission? (My Brother Can Run Very Fast)
This is how natural selection is related to artificial selection and selective breeding
Natural selection and artificial selection happen in the same way with reproduction, variation, competition, and selection. However, artificial selection has human intervention and selective breeding IS artificial selection since the human is SELECTING which males and females will reproduce. The males and females are chosen by the human for the traits the human likes (or desires)
This is how pollination happens in a flowering plant
What is 1. the pollen grain lands on the female part of the flower, 2. the pollen tube grows down to the ovary, 3. the sperm makes its way down the pollen tube, 4. the sperm and egg come together and is called fertilization?
These are six abiotic factors in an ecosystem
What are sun, climate, temperature, water, atmosphere, and soil?
