Biodiversity
This Kingdom has the greatest number of species
What are ANIMALS?
The way in which an organism fits into an ecological community or ecosystem.
What is a NICHE?
The enzyme that 'unzips' the DNA molecule for replication and transcription.
What is DNA HELICASE?
Small scale changes in the allele frequencies within a population.
What is MICROEVOLUTION?
What is the name of Mr Malaschevsky's dog?
Rufus
The number of different types of organisms within an ecosystem.
What is SPECIES DIVERSITY?
The maximum population size of a biological species that can be sustained in that specific environment, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available.
What is CARRYING CAPACITY?
Insertion and deletion mutations can result in a non-functional protein due to...
What is a FRAMESHIFT?
A process in which the environment 'selects' which individuals will survive and reproduce.
What is NATURAL SELECTION?
December
An example of an interspecific hybrid that does not produce fertile offspring.
What is a MULE? (will accept any other interspecific hybrid)
An organism that helps define an entire ecosystem. Without it, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist altogether.
What is a KEYSTONE SPECIES?
A molecule around which DNA is wrapped when not being replicated or transcribed.
What is a HISTONE?
The transfer of genetic variation from one population to another.
What is GENE FLOW?
What is Mr Malaschevsky's favourite animal?
Organutan
A two part naming system for living creatures using the genus and species names combined.
What is BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE?
A mathematical formula used to estimate population size by capturing, tagging and recapturing organisms.
What is the LINCOLN INDEX?
Chromosomes that carry the same genes, but each contains alleles from a different parent.
What is a HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOME?
Two subpopulations of a species evolve reproductive isolation from one another while continuing to exchange genes.
What is PARAPATRIC SPECIATION?
What is Mr Malaschevsky favourite pop star?
Rihanna
A group of organisms that consists of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants.
What is a CLADE?
The process relating to community growth or change that takes place when a habitat is disturbed or damaged.
What is SECONDARY SUCCESSION?
When a phenotypic trait is controlled by multiple genes.
What is POLYGENIC INHERITANCE?
An event that drastically reduces the size of a population.
What is a POPULATION BOTTLENECK?
What three degrees does Mr Malaschevsky have?
