scientific method
what is the order of the scientific method. (A) form a testable hypothesis (B) experimenting (C) researching the topic (D) ask a question (E) analyzing data to draw conclusions
asking a question, researching the topic, forming a testable hypothesis, experimenting, analyzing data to draw conclusions, and communicating results
What are waves?
A wave is a disturbance that travels through space or matter a transports energy from one point to another.
what is natural selection
the fundamental mechanism of evolution where organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring, passing on advantageous traits to future generations
What rock layer is formed by cooling and solidification of magma or molten lava
Igneous rock
what are genetics
the scientific study of heredity, genes, and the variation of inherited traits in organisms
why do we have a scientific method?
to gain a reliable approach to acquiring knowledge.
what is wave frequency?
Wave frequency is the under of times that a wave passes through a given point in a certain amount of time
what is an example of natural selection
mama and papa passing genes to a kid example ears, eyes, teeth, color changing overtime
What rock formed on or near the Earth's surface by the accumulation, compaction, and cementation of sediments
Sedimentary rock
what is an example of genetics
a mother has blue eyes and the father has brown eyes and the fathers genetics are more powerful than the mothers so the kids eyes a brown
what is the last step of the scientific method
communicate the results.
Whats crest?
A crest is the highest possible point in a wave.
why is natural selection important?
to understand more about evolution and how an animal can change overtime to adapt to its enviorment
what is created when existing rocks are subjected to intense heat and pressure, changing their original structure into new layered, or "foliated," forms.
Metamorphic rock
whats the difference between natural selection and genetics
Natural selection is the environmental mechanism that determines which organisms survive to reproduce, while genetics refers to the inherited DNA variations that provide the raw material for this process
Whats wavelength?
Wavelength is the distance between the two crests.
what would survive longer a white rabbit in summer or a white rabbit in winter
white rabbit in winter
What is a layer called when it is greater than 1 cm thick
Strata
whats the dominant one A,a
A
What the through?
The through I the lowest possible point on a wave
What is the difference between micro- and macroevolution?
Microevolution describes small changes in a population's gene pool (over a few generations), while macroevolution refers to large-scale changes and the emergence of new species over long periods.
What is the layer called when it is less than 1 cm thick
Laminations
What is a genotype vs. phenotype?
genotype refers to the genetic makeup (e.g.,
), while phenotype is the observable trait (e.g., white fur).
