Plant Biology
This modified plant structure develops from the ovary and sometimes accessory tissues and is key in seed dispersal.
Fruit
The order of even-toed ungulates
Artiodactyla
The father of paleobiology
Franz Nopcsa
Which structure in modern humans shows a remnant of our arboreal (tailed) ancestry?
Coccyx
This simple plant tissue type consists of living cells with thin primary walls and is most metabolically active in wound repair, photosynthesis, and storage.
Parenchyma
The phylum to which the fungi where penicillin is derived from belong to
Ascomycota
The scientific name of an extinct organism used to genetically modify its closest living relative, the grey wolf
Aenocyon dirus
What organ influenced modern health challenges during childbirth due to evolutionary enlargement?
Brain
These slender, horizontal stems allow plants like strawberries to spread across the soil surface.
Stolons
The term use to describe animal scientific names with the same name for genus and species name
Tautonym
The element found in the K-T line strata that highly supports the reason for the mass extinction at the end of Mesozoic Era.
Iridium
Which part of the human body shows structural changes from our shift to bipedalism (walking with two legs) and is often a source of chronic pain today?
Spine
This cell type in the phloem lacks a nucleus but is essential for the transport of sugars. The companion cells are responsible for providing metabolic support.
Sieve tubes
Known as water bears, these are eight-legged micro animals that can lived in extreme environments
Tardigrades
The basis of paleontologists to establish the range of a particular geologic time.
Index fossil
Identify the organ once used by ancestral humans to digest fibrous plant material, now considered vestigial.
Appendix
This theory explains the movement of water through plants, stating that water is pulled upward due to transpiration and cohesion between water molecules.
Cohesion-tension theory
The genus of the bacteria that causes whooping cough or pertussis
Bordetella
The group of animals with the highest fossil record in the Philippines.
Mollusk
Identify the part of the throat that dropped during human evolution, enabling the production of complex speech sounds.
Larynx
