Diversity
This term describes the role an organism plays in its environment (what it eats, where its habitat is, its interactions with other organisms)
What is a niche?
The type of asexual reproduction bacteria undergo
Binary fission
What is the term for an organism with 2 copies of the dominant allele
Homozygous dominant or pure bred
A lizard has a long tail (LL) and mated with another lizard with a short tail (ll), what genotype and phenotype would you expect?
100% Ll
What term describes the localized extinction of a species
What is Extirpation?
The interspecies relationship that animals like coyotes and rabbits experience.
What is a predator prey relationship?
The plant organ that releases pollen.
What is the anther/stamen?
Explain a continuous heritable trait
A trait that can be passed from parent to offspring and exists on a spectrum (ex. Height)
What are the differences between dominant and recessive alleles?
Dominant one copy shows the dominant phenotype, recessive needs both copies to show the phenotype
This term describes the method humans use to for breed organisms for desirable traits
What is artificial selection?
Organisms who experience interspecies competition may do this to better coexist in an area
What is resource partitioning?
The type of asexual reproduction that "vegetables" like potatoes undergo.
What is vegetative reproduction?
Explain the difference between Lamarckism and Darwinism.
Lamarckism: Traits acquired throughout life can be passed on
Darwinism: Only traits that can be passed on through DNA can be passed from parent to offspring
During incomplete dominance, what will the heterozygous phenotype look like?
A mix between the homozygous dominant and recessive phenotypes.
A reproductive technology that allows fertilization between 1 male with desirable traits and multiple females.
Artificial insemination
What is the following acronym used for:
(Bonus points for saying what each stands for)
King Philip Comes Over For Grape Soda
Taxonomy: The classification of organisms
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
What are one of the advantages and disadvantages of sexual and asexual reproduction
What is genetic diversity? Which one has a higher reproduction speed
When one chromosome comes from the mother, and one from the father, these are called:
Homologous chromosomes
List the words associated with genetic material from largest to smallest
Chromosome, chromatin, gene, DNA
Catastrophic events and wide spread diseases are examples of:
Natural causes of extinction
What is the difference between population and community?
Population: A group of one species in an area
Community: A group of populations in an area
Meiosis produces ? daughter cells with? the chromosomes of the parent. It results in ? that combine during fertilization.
Four, half, gametes
Give an example of how environmental factors can influence traits.
ex. The amount of food an organism eats can have an effect on how tall or large it grows
A species of rice has had the DNA altered so that it is higher in vitamin A. This is an example of:
Genetic engineering
List 3 ways humans can work to conserve biological diversity.
3 of: protected areas, reduced spread of non-native species, restoration efforts, resource use policies,seed banks, etc.
