DNA
Produces two identical daughter cells.
Produces two genetically different cells.
What is mitosis and meiosis?
The idea that all species are related and gradually change over time.
What is the theory of evolution?
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave?
This type of light wave is visible to the human eye and makes up only a small part of the EM spectrum.
What is visible light?
Chloroplast, Amyplast and cell wall
What structures are unique to plant cells?
The study of the development of the anatomy of an organism to its adult form
What is embryology?
This term refers to the lowest point between two crests.
What is a trough?
Light passes from air to water, it slows down and bends.
What is refraction?
Its function is to carry genes, and is made up of proteins and DNA.
What are chromosomes?
Adaptation to the external environment.
What is natural selection?
Radiowaves, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma rays are all in a type of spectrum
What is the electromagnetic spectrum?
The speed of light in a vacuum is always a constant, what is it measured as?
What is 3 x 10^8 metres per second
Type of bacteria that lacks a nuclear envelope, and the other has as nucleus.
What is the difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Finches, Galapagos tortoises
What animals Charles Darwin observed for natural selection?
This type of wave oscillations that are perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What is a transverse wave?
This term describes the bending of light around obstacles or through small openings, which can cause light to spread out rather than travel in a straight line.
What is diffraction?
Inherit the same genes from both parents, and inherit different genes from both parents.
What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?
Type of structure, like the wings of bats and birds, performs similar function but evolved independently, and not from a common ancestor
What is an analogous structure?
The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying its frequency and another property.
What is wavelength?
The process when light hits an object and does not pass through or reflect, it is instead taken in by the object.
What is absorption?
