Organelles
Storage Area inside of Cells
Vacuole
Humans have ___ PAIRS of chromosomes.
23
The word for an ecosystem's variety of life.
Biodiversity
This environment would allow a nocturnal animal with padded feet and whiskers to find limited food and water able to survive. (HINT: it's a type of ecosystem)
Animals in the desert region need what traits to survive?
The organelle that converts light into food.
Chloroplast
If blonde hair is hh and black hair is HH, why does Susie have black hair if her haircolor alleles are Hh?
Dominant traits mask (hide) recessive traits.
A fatal disease hits a population of asexually-reproducing starfish. Would they likely survive or die off?
They would die off since they are genetically the same and the disease is fatal. If you can't survive you can't reproduce to pass on your traits.
In a rainforest/jungle environment, this color would best work for crickets to survive.
The green colored crickets would survive best.
The organelle that controls what goes in and out of both plant and animals cells.
Cell Membrane
This is the organelle where genes and chromosomes are located inside of cells.
Nucleus
Would a population of sexually-reproducing deer likely survive a fatal disease?
Yes; Some will die, but because of variations, the ones with disease resistance will survive, reproduce, and pass on their traits to offspring.
As biodiversity increases, the chances of a thriving ecosystem ___
increases
Creates energy out of food (breaks down glucose).
Mitochondria
___ reproduction requires one parent for reproduction.
___ reproduction requires two parents for reproduction.
Asexual (1 parent)
Sexual (2 parents)
Farmers have to keep making new recipes for pesticides (poisons) because of insects' ability to do this.
The population becomes pesticide-resistant because insects reproduce sexually. Their variations allow some insects to survive the poisons and reproduce.
Structural and Behavioral traits that allow a crocodile to hunt well in rivers
Structural traits like strong jaws or elevated (on top of their head) nostrils, eyes, and ears in crocodiles.
Behavioral traits like swimming quietly, hiding motionless while watching for prey.
The two organelles found in plant cells, but not in animal cells.
Cell Wall and Chloroplasts
The two types of alleles that determine inherited traits
The three types of adaptations.
Structural
Behavioral
Physiological
These are two traits make a cane toad successful in Australia.
EXAMPLES:
* eat many different organisms
* reproduce quickly
* skin is toxic to predators
