Evolution
What is Common Ancestor?
an Animal that goes so far back that multiple animals now can relate to it
If there is a blue bug and a green bug in green grass, which one would likely survive?
The green bug, because it blends in better with the grass and therefore is less likely to be eaten.
Plants turn carbon into what?
O2.
In mitosis, a parent cell makes how many daughter cells?
2.
What body system is the heart in?
Circulatory system.
Is the process of evolution fast or slow?
Evolution varies in speed depending on the species evolving. It tends to be slower in larger animals with longer life spans.
Natural selection can lead to adaption, which leads to what occurring in a species?
How many spheres are there?
There are 4 spheres, the Hydrosphere, the Geosphere, the Biosphere, and the Atmosphere.
In mitosis are the daughter cells identical?
Yes.
What body system are the lungs in?
Respiratory system.
When a part of a species diverges from the rest and evolves differently, often resulting in a new species.
Who was Charles Darwin?
He was the father of evolution and popularized the theory of evolution.
What do carbon reservoir do?
Carbon reservoirs store carbon.
Are the daughter cells identical in Meiosis?
No.
What cell fights off disease?
White blood cells.
How can we tell if a species has a common ancestor?
If the current species and the common ancestor shares similar traits, such as bone formation.
Yes. Human activity such as poaching can lead to a sort of artificial natural selection and can change a species. (For example, more and more elephants are born without tusks because the ones with tusks are poached.)
How many daughter cells does miosis make?
4.
What does the skeletal system do?
The skeleton protects your organs and helps with movement.
What is the closest living relative to the human species?
Chimpanzees.
What is the theory of Natural Selection?
The theory that only the strongest and most well adapted can survive in an environment and successfully pass on their genes.
How does carbon enter the biosphere?
When plants do photosynthesis, carbon is absorbed into the atmosphere.
During which phase do chromosomes first become visible in mitosis?
Prophase.
What is adrenalin?
Adrenaline is produced in the adrenal glands, which release adrenaline into the body during times of stress or danger
