This type of reproduction requires only one parent.
What is asexual reproduction?
100
This is the name of the square that we use to determine what percent chance offspring will have of inheriting a trait.
What are punnett squares?
100
This is the type of selection in which specific traits allow some organisms to become better adapted to an environment, hence allowing them to survive, reproduce, and pass the favorable trait on to their offspring.
What is natural selection.

These are the types of plate tectonic interactions.
What are convergent, divergent, and transform?

Possible answers:
electromagnetic waves
light
visible light
transverse waves

This law says that the younger layers of rock are located on the top and the older layers are located at the bottom.

A pair of alleles that are the same are called __________________.
Homozygous

For natural selection to occur, what must there be?
Genetic variation

This is how this environment changed over time.
It was once a marine/water environment; it is now a land environment.

Result of meiosis
Result of mitosis
meiosis: 4 haploid daughters
mitosis: 2 diploid daughters

What is a disadvantage of selective breeding?

2. Not guaranteed to get traits desired
