Cells
This type of cell has no membrane bound organelles or nucleus.
What is a prokaryote?
They come in pairs and your get one from your mom and one from your dad, and they are found on chromosomes.
What are alleles?
A behavior that an animal will perform correctly on their first try, even if they are a newborn.
What is an instinctive behavior?
The process by which one species splits to become two or more.
What is speciation?
Flowering plants. One of two types of seed bearing plants.
What are angiosperms?
This organelle is once thought to have been free swimming but is now the "powerhouse of the cell."
What is mitochondria?
In humans, one continuous double sided strand of DNA makes one of these.
What is a chromosome?
When an animal reduces its own fitness to help other members of its social group.
What is altruism?
The three different domains of life, according to Carl Woese.
What are bacteria, archaea, and eukarya?

What are gymnosperms?
This organelle was once thought to be free swimming but is now responsible for photosynthesising.
What is a chloroplast?
There are five different types of these and they are made of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen containing base.
What are nucleotides?
The ability to solve a problem mentally without repeated trial and error.

What is a ribosome?
The four different phases of mitosis
What are prophase, metaphase anaphase and, telophase?
When an animal's behavioral response decreases due to a repeated stimulus.
What is habituation?
When a species diverges from two geographically isolated populations.
What is allopatric speciation?
The egg bearing structure in plants, which is the future fruit.
What are ovules?
This organelle is the "post office" of the cell, which processes and packages lipid and proteins.
What is the golgi body?
DNA wraps around this protein at regular intervals.
What are histones?
A simple signal that triggers an innate behavior.
What is a releaser?
A trait that was inherited from a common ancestor but is no longer used.
What is a vestigial trait?
The thin branching threads of fungi that absorb nutrients from the environment.
